Summary

Lee Kwon-hee, CEO of Wizwave, argues that the semiconductor sell-off is temporary and driven by exaggerated fears of AI capex cuts. He sees buying opportunities in Korean memory chips, US big tech, US biotech, and Korean earnings-driven sectors. He advises cautious partial buying in semiconductors and monitoring July earnings for confirmation.

  • Semiconductor sell-off is a temporary correction driven by overblown AI capex cut fears; hyperscalers cannot cut investment due to intense competition.
  • Physical AI and agentic AI will drive exponential memory demand, supporting long-term semiconductor growth.
  • Korean memory stocks Samsung and SK Hynix are a buy on dips with cautious partial buying.
  • US Philadelphia Semiconductor Index will resume uptrend after consolidation.
  • US big tech hyperscalers Amazon, Meta, Google, Microsoft are undervalued and benefit from rotation.
  • US biotech index hitting all-time highs signals that interest rates are peaking, making the sector attractive.
  • Korean earnings season could highlight rotation into undervalued cosmetics, banking, securities, and biotech stocks.
  • Investors should manage overweight semiconductor positions and raise cash to seize opportunities in other sectors.

SOX will resume uptrend after consolidation
The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index is consolidating within a range after a sharp rally and recent pullback, but the long-term uptrend will resume as AI demand remains intact. The current sideways move is healthy and will eventually break higher once fear of capex cuts subsides.

Rotate into US big tech hyperscalers
Money is rotating out of overbought semiconductors into undervalued US big tech hyperscalers such as Amazon, Meta, Google, and Microsoft. These companies have cheapened after recent pullbacks and will benefit from rotation flows and sustained AI investment.

US biotech rally signals peak rates; buy
The US biotechnology index is hitting all-time highs despite rising market interest rates. This rally suggests the market is pricing in a peak in rates, anticipating that rates will decline. Biotech breaking out acts as a leading signal for lower rates, making the sector attractive.

Buy Korean memory on dip; AI capex fears overblown
The sell-off in Korean memory semiconductors is a temporary correction driven by overblown fears that hyperscalers will cut AI capex. Hyperscalers are in intense competition and cannot afford to cut AI investment without risking extinction. Memory demand will surge as physical AI and agentic AI require exponentially more memory, and companies like Samsung and SK Hynix are expanding fabs based on confirmed demand beyond what media reports. The current dip offers a cautious partial buying opportunity.

Korean earnings sectors offer rotation opportunities
Amid the semiconductor correction, previously overlooked Korean earnings-driven stocks in cosmetics, banking, securities, and biotech are starting to rise. These sectors are showing relative strength and offer opportunities as money seeks undervalued names with solid earnings in July earnings season.
