Summary

Kwon Soon-woo, 3PRO TV news team leader, reviews three Korean market news items. He argues a new mandatory tender-offer rule for control transactions could shift control premium toward ordinary shareholders. He then traces AI server demand from Nvidia through MLB substrates, CCL, and copper foil, highlighting Doosan, Isu Petasys, and Lotte Energy Materials. He also discusses Hanwha Systems' UAE integrated air-defense agreement as a potential first L-SAM export catalyst.

  • Capital-markets bill would require a 50%+1 share tender offer when acquiring control.
  • Doosan plans about KRW 970bn of CCL capacity investment through 2028 on AI server demand.
  • Isu Petasys and Lotte Energy Materials are positioned in the AI server substrate and copper foil chain.
  • Lotte Energy Materials is shifting Iksan battery foil capacity to higher-margin circuit foil.
  • Hanwha Systems signed a key conditions agreement with UAE's Edge Group for integrated air defense.
  • UAE's repeated missile and drone attacks underpin urgent air-defense demand.
  • Macro discussion pushes back on simplistic Fed/BOK rate-hike and foreign-outflow narratives.
  • A Korean military drone demonstration failure is mentioned without a clear investment angle.

Doosan CCL capacity expands on AI demand.
Doosan is expanding copper-clad laminate capacity with about KRW 970bn of investment in Korea and China, following a Thailand plant, staged through 2028 because AI-server-driven substrate orders are exceeding capacity. CCL is the structural backbone of AI server substrates such as MLB, and the new lines should translate into revenue growth; the segment reportedly grew from KRW 1tn in 2024 to KRW 1.9tn in 2025.

Isu Petasys leads AI server substrate supply.
Isu Petasys is the world's best MLB substrate maker and a key supplier into Nvidia server substrates. Its substrate expansion would pull CCL demand from Doosan and copper foil from Lotte Energy Materials, making it a direct AI server substrate supply-chain beneficiary.

Lotte Energy Materials gains from circuit foil.
Lotte Energy Materials is shifting Iksan battery copper foil capacity toward higher-value circuit copper foil post-processing and moving battery foil production to lower-power-cost Malaysia. Circuit foil earns better margins because AI/Nvidia customers are profitable, and its battery foil utilization is also rising on ESS demand, so it is effectively expanding into the AI supply chain while improving plant utilization.

Hanwha Systems leads UAE air-defense export.
Hanwha Systems signed a key conditions agreement with UAE's Edge Group for an integrated air defense network, potentially enabling the first overseas deployment/export of L-SAM above the already proven Cheongung system. UAE's repeated missile and drone attacks create urgent demand, and local production with Edge would still require many Korean-made components; successful deployment could open integrated air defense export opportunities to other countries.
