Summary

Lee Kwon-hee discusses the AI semiconductor supply chain, emphasizing that GPU inefficiency is driving demand for CPUs and memory. He recommends Samsung Electronics and SK hynix as undervalued buys on dips, while warning that Samsung Electro-Mechanics is overvalued. He also touches on other sectors like biotech, shipbuilding, and defense, but does not give clear trades for them.

  • AI hardware bottleneck: GPU utilization only 20-30% due to memory bandwidth; CPU demand rising.
  • Samsung Electronics (005930.KS) is cheap at 5.8x P/E; buy on dips to 5-day moving average.
  • SK hynix (000660.KS) also undervalued; hold or accumulate for AI memory growth.
  • Samsung Electro-Mechanics (009150.KS) is overvalued at 47x P/E; avoid.
  • Labor union risks at Samsung are seen as buying opportunities.
  • Biotech sector may rebound if interest rate expectations shift lower.
  • Korean defense and shipbuilding stocks have earnings momentum but are lagging the semiconductor rally.
  • Nvidia earnings upcoming are key for AI direction, but not a tradeable idea itself.
Trade Ideas

Cheap AI play, buy on dips.
Samsung Electronics is currently undervalued with a P/E around 5.8x, benefiting from AI-driven demand for memory and semiconductors. The labor union risk creates a buying opportunity, and technical analysis suggests buying on dips to the 5-day moving average or during time corrections. Existing holders should stay invested.
Lee Kwon-hee CEO, Economist 15:22
Also cheap, hold for AI memory.
SK hynix is similarly cheap on valuation relative to earnings estimates, positioned well in the AI memory cycle. The stock has strong long-term upward momentum and should be held or accumulated on pullbacks.
Lee Kwon-hee CEO, Economist 17:39
Overvalued, avoid relative to peers.
Samsung Electro-Mechanics is extremely overvalued at 47x P/E compared to Samsung Electronics' 5.8x. With earnings estimates declining and the stock still elevated, it is vulnerable to further downside and should be avoided.
