AI power equipment ETF long-term bullish.
Korean AI power equipment stocks are in a long-term uptrend driven by AI data center demand for high-voltage transformers, efficiency upgrades, and grid infrastructure. Supply shortages, long lead times, and pricing power support strong profitability. Demand is expected to continue through at least 2030. The TIGER AI Power Equipment Top 3 Plus ETF offers diversified exposure to leading companies like HD Hyundai Electric, Hyosung Heavy Industries, and LS Electric, which benefit from U.S. AI capex and domestic policy support.

Optical fiber supercycle driven by AI.
The optical fiber market is entering a supercycle due to AI data centers requiring high-grade fiber for GPU interconnects. Global supply is constrained, prices surged 3-7x in one quarter. Korean companies such as Seongho Electronics (top pick), Daeyang Optical Communication, and RF Materials Solution are well-positioned.

Optical fiber supercycle, buy Korean stocks.
Optical fiber is entering a supercycle akin to semiconductors, driven by AI data centers requiring high-density, high-bandwidth connections inside GPU clusters. Demand for premium optical fiber is surging due to space constraints and bend sensitivity, creating a new market expected to grow 5x. Korean companies Seongho Electronics, DaeYang Optical Communication, and RF Materials Solution are cited as top picks or basket candidates by Eugene Investment & Securities, and the speaker endorses the view.
