Summary

CEO Lee Gwon-hui of Wizwave argues that Korean memory semiconductors are in a structural growth phase, not a cyclical peak, and investors should buy aggressively on dips. He also highlights Hyundai Motor as a leader in physical AI/humanoid robotics due to its factory automation, and emphasizes Samsung Electronics' unique position in CPO/advanced packaging technology.

  • Memory semiconductor selloff is temporary profit-taking; structural AI demand supports further upside.
  • Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix are core buys; EPS growth and potential PE expansion justify higher valuations.
  • Hyundai Motor's factory automation and robotics experience give it an edge in physical AI; stock has re-rating potential.
  • Samsung Electronics is the main beneficiary of CPO and advanced packaging, not small-cap optical stocks.
  • Interest rate concerns are overblown; US markets have not corrected meaningfully, indicating resilience.
  • Union issues at Samsung are likely to be resolved soon; buy on weakness.
  • NVIDIA earnings are less important than updates on networking (NVLink) and new technologies like CPO and quantum computing.
  • Korean market volatility is an opportunity to buy quality stocks at lower prices.

Buy memory semiconductors on structural growth.
The current pullback in Korean memory semiconductors is profit-taking, not fundamental deterioration. The industry is in a structural growth phase (not cyclical) driven by AI demand, with EPS rising rapidly and potential for PE expansion. Investors should buy aggressively on dips, especially Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix.

Hyundai Motor leads in physical AI.
Hyundai Motor has a unique competitive edge in physical AI and humanoid robotics due to its highly automated factories (labor cost dropped from 30% to ~10%), long experience with industrial robots, and ability to deploy robots quickly. The stock offers a long-term growth story with valuation multiple expansion potential, akin to a tech company.
