Meta regulatory risks are mounting
Meta faces multiple regulatory burdens: Australia's under-16 social media ban affects Instagram and Facebook, Taiwan is investigating financial scams on its platforms, and its APAC head is retiring. With heavy AI investment and Europe exposure, these regulatory and geopolitical risks are a significant burden.
Memory storage stocks hit new highs
Micron, Western Digital, and SanDisk all hit new highs even as the broader market fell, showing strong earnings expectations and a powerful storage/memory cycle. The strength in these semiconductor names supports buying them on weakness.
Bitcoin correction until June watch $73k
Bitcoin is in the middle of a cycle correction after breaking below its 365-day moving average; historical patterns suggest the correction could last around 340-350 days, ending around June/July. The downside target is $73,000-$75,000, where ETF and DAT average costs cluster. Near-term weakness is likely, but watch for a reclaim of the 365-day moving average and whale/institutional accumulation as signs of a bottom.
Buy US stocks on fear spike
The US market saw a 'triple weakness' of falling stocks, bonds, and the dollar after Trump's Greenland tariff threats, a bad combination that could extend the correction. If this is a normal 5% correction, investors should watch VIX around 25-26 and Fear & Greed near 5, then buy aggressively; if 10-year Treasury yields stay high, S&P 500 upside remains capped.
Buy strong megacaps on dips
Strong momentum US large caps and materials have either pulled back double digits or are hitting new highs despite the market correction; macro-driven dips should be used to buy quality names like Nvidia, Broadcom, Meta, Micron, Lam Research, Western Digital, SanDisk, Freeport-McMoRan, and Albemarle, rather than weaker theme stocks.
Netflix still not cheap enough
Netflix reported in-line revenue and EPS but Q1 guidance missed, with operating margin guidance below consensus; competition from traditional TV, YouTube, Amazon, and Instagram is intensifying, and the Warner Bros acquisition is uncertain and costly. Although the stock is down 35% and P/E has de-rated to 26x from over 40x, it is not cheap enough to buy.
Use B-wave rally to raise cash
Trump's Greenland and tariff threats resemble early last year's tariff shock; the stress may last until June. The US market may trace an A-B-C correction, so if a B-wave rally comes, investors should use it to raise cash rather than buy the dip.
Gigavis to benefit from FC-BGA capex
Gigavis is the top equipment supplier for the 2026 FC-BGA capex cycle; it supplies most major FC-BGA makers, so it benefits regardless of individual customer issues. As utilization rises and new investment becomes unavoidable, revenue could reach 90 billion KRW and operating profit 31.7 billion KRW in 2026, with operating leverage above 600 billion KRW sales. The stock has run up short-term, so real earnings delivery could be the next catalyst.
Buy Hyundai Rotem before orders
KB report top pick in defense with a 310,000 KRW target; 4Q results should meet consensus; Poland's second contract is already underway, and Iraq, Romania, and Peru orders are expected in 2026. If Iraq and Romania both materialize, that alone is 18 trillion KRW; Peru is about 3 trillion KRW. The stock trades at 21x P/E, about 30% discount to Hanwha Aerospace and LIG Nex1, so buy before the order news.
Copper foil upcycle favors Jiayuan
Jiayuan Technology is a Chinese copper foil maker with over 90% utilization, up from 37% in 2024. The copper foil processing fee cycle typically lasts 1.5-2 years, and fees could rise 10% or more. Net profit is expected to turn positive in 2027, with P/E 32x versus peers at 41x; if processing fees recover to 2022 levels, P/E could fall to 7x, implying significant upside.
Korean defense is structural growth
The US is stepping back from its global police role, forcing countries to strengthen self-defense. Korean defense companies are structural growth stocks, not cyclical declines, so investors should hold them or buy on corrections.
