Summary

Lee Gwon-hee discusses the May 20 market selloff driven by Samsung Electronics' labor strike failure and rising US Treasury yields. He advises buying SK hynix on the supply disruption, accumulating HD Hyundai Heavy Industries on weakness, and avoiding Korean biotech. He also recommends accumulating LS Corp if it falls below 50,000 won. The broader view is a box range with limited upside until yields decline.

  • Samsung Electronics' labor dispute spooked KOSDAQ and caused broad selling.
  • US Treasury yields near 4.7% are pressuring global equity markets.
  • SK hynix is a beneficiary of Samsung's strike due to tighter memory supply.
  • HD Hyundai Heavy Industries is a buy on weakness due to strong orders and defense business.
  • Korean biotech sector is to be avoided due to lack of fresh buying interest.
  • LS Corp is a long-term accumulation play below 50,000 won.
  • The market is in a correction with KOSDAQ testing the 7,000 level.
  • G7 coordination on yields could provide a catalyst for a rebound.
Trade Ideas
Lee Kwon-hee CEO, Economist 6:52
Samsung strike benefits SK hynix pricing.
Samsung Electronics' labor strike will reduce memory supply, benefiting SK hynix and Micron as they maintain full production. With supply constrained and demand steady, memory prices will rise, boosting SK hynix's earnings and stock price.
Lee Kwon-hee CEO, Economist 19:49
Avoid Korean biotech for now.
The Korean biotech sector currently lacks new buying interest and has lost its appeal. Despite claims of no issues, stocks continue to fall with low volume, indicating no catalyst for a rebound. Avoid until fresh money flows in.
Lee Kwon-hee CEO, Economist 20:17
Accumulate LS below 50,000.
LS Corp has risen too much and is now entering a corrective phase. If the stock breaks below 50,000 won, it becomes a good accumulation opportunity for long-term investors, as the underlying business remains sound.
Lee Kwon-hee CEO, Economist 22:56
Buy HD Hyundai on weakness.
HD Hyundai Heavy Industries has strong fundamentals from additional engine orders and defense contracts (e.g., frigates). Recent weakness due to labor issues is a buying opportunity; the stock should resume its uptrend once the labor overhang clears.
