Trade Ideas

PBR to PER shift for semicon stocks
Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix are undervalued on a PER basis because the semiconductor cycle has changed due to long-term contracts that stabilize earnings. The market will shift from PBR to PER valuation, supporting significantly higher target prices of 410,000 KRW for Samsung and 2,800,000 KRW for SK Hynix.

Oil to decline if war ends
If the Russia-Ukraine war ends, oil will decline because the pre-war oversupply condition will return, though infrastructure damage will slow the decline. WTI crude is expected to fall to the low $80s from near $100.

Robotics sector benefits from lower rates
Korean robotics stocks will benefit significantly from lower oil and interest rates, as they were hit hard by rate fears and will rebound when the macro environment improves.
Yeom Seung-hwan Director, LS Securities 17:01
Shipbuilding sector benefits from defense demand
The Korean shipbuilding sector is attractive due to strong earnings, US warship demand, potential Canadian submarine contracts, and Taiwan tension-driven defense spending.

Submarine cables strong on renewable shift
Submarine cables are a strong investment theme driven by offshore wind and global energy transition, with supply tightness supporting prices.
