Ideas
Semiconductor selloff is overdone; buy dips.
The US AI hardware and semiconductor selloff looks derivative- and positioning-driven rather than a real AI demand slowdown; software rose while hardware was dumped, with rates, oil, and AI-speed narratives used as excuses, so another down day would be a buying opportunity.
Won weakness limits further USD/KRW decline.
The dollar-won rate is unlikely to fall further because large US-bound investment outflows are keeping the won weak, so USD/KRW should stabilize around the 1,340-1,350 area.
Won-sensitive cosmetics stocks may rebound.
If the won stabilizes or strengthens after the recent FX move, Korean cosmetics stocks that were hit by currency weakness could rebound as a short-term mean-reversion trade.
Clarity Act boosts Coinbase and Circle.
Clarity Act passage probability increased in the Senate, and although the House and a four-to-five-month process remain, the market is already rewarding crypto-related equities; he owns Coinbase and highlights Circle Internet's rally.
Add Broadcom after one more drop.
He owns Broadcom and was disappointed by its near-5% plunge; if semiconductors fall one more day, he wants to add to Broadcom as part of the washout.
Bought SK hynix on excessive drop.
He bought SK hynix after it broke 1.70 million won because the drop looked excessive, and the position is strategic because he is already overweight Samsung Electronics.
Alteogen gains from Keytruda SC growth.
Alteogen is underappreciated because Keytruda SC sales rose 12% through August, and foreigners are buying while institutions sell.
Biotech rotation supports Korean biotech stocks.
A US biotech rally is spilling into a Korean biotech rotation, with KOSDAQ bio names attracting interest even as broad biotech sentiment remains weighed by rates.
Shipbuilding orders benefit Korean big three.
Higher freight rates from Red Sea diversions lift shipowners' profits and encourage fleet replacement; LNG, LPG, and VLCC orders, engine demand, and floating data-center interest support the Korean shipbuilding big three.
Samsung Heavy gains from LNG orders.
Samsung Heavy Industries should benefit from LNG carrier and FLNG orders, rising FLNG demand, falling construction costs, and foreign/institutional buying.
Hanwha Ocean offers optionality; momentum weakened.
Hanwha Ocean has existing strengths in large crude carriers, naval shipbuilding, and potential floating data centers, with foreign buying, but its momentum has weakened, so it is a monitoring idea rather than the top pick.
HD Hyundai Heavy is most attractive.
Among the shipbuilding big three, HD Hyundai Heavy Industries looks most attractive due to its order visibility from LPG carriers, engine strength, and backlog momentum.
Samsung Electronics remains long-term overweight holding.
Samsung Electronics remains a long-term holding and he wanted to buy more after the US selloff, but he did not add because his position is already large.
G2G Bio underowned with good news.
G2G Bio rose sharply with little investor attention despite positive news on monthly dementia injection safety and its microsphere/sustained-release technology.
Peptron Lilly contract timing remains uncertain.
Peptron's Lilly technology evaluation contract expiration in October is not a fixed date and could be extended, making it an under-the-radar event-driven name.
Alzinomics technology recognized via circular RNA.
Alzinomics received positive attention after reporting a sevenfold improvement in circular RNA production efficiency and publishing academic work that validates its technology.
Hanmi Semiconductor makes higher lows.
Hanmi Semiconductor is making slightly higher lows and slowly rising after a dull range, and its history suggests it can spike after prolonged consolidation, so he wants it to move.
KOSPI range compression signals coming resolution.
KOSPI is trapped in a 6,400-7,500 range but moving averages are converging, raising the odds of an eventual directional resolution; he hopes it breaks upward.
Samsung SDI upside depends on ESS.
Samsung SDI is holding up well, and NH's re-rating report with a 730,000 won target supports the view that it can reach 650,000 won if it breaks 580,000 won, driven by ESS volume and a GM plant restart rather than all-solid-state batteries.
Avoid all-solid-state battery expectations for now.
All-solid-state batteries should not be expected as a near-term driver because production plans matter less than having a buyer, costs remain high, and analysts have stopped emphasizing the theme.
Hyundai Motor decline looks excessive.
Hyundai Motor has fallen too much because investors cut both its robotics value and its auto value; the decline looks excessive and needs management action or a value reassessment.
