Nomura Says Samsung Electronics Is 'Seriously Cheap', Sees 670,000 Won Samsung Electronics and 4.7 Million Won SK Hynix
670,000 Samsung Electronics, 4.7 million SK Hynix are coming, Nomura says Samsung Electronics is 'seriously cheap' | Chesley Investment Advisory Executive Director Park Se-ik [What a New Idea / 26.09.04.Fri]
Ideas
Buy KOSPI late September for October rally.
Park expects September's seasonal correction to be mild, with a lower tail but not a 10% decline, and sees a hammer-shaped bullish candle forming. He then expects a rally from late September into October-November that will test KOSPI 7,500, and advises waiting until late September to deploy rather than chasing immediately.
Stay invested in Korean equities.
Park tells a viewer not to convert investments to cash. He expects the market to improve from year-end into next year and says well-chosen sectors could produce 50-100% returns, so staying invested in equities and targeting around 15% annual returns is wiser than settling for low cash pension payouts.
Add to Korea-China-US Focus Fund.
Park says the Samsung Securities Korea-China-US Focus Fund is being managed conservatively across Korea, China, and US portfolios, so investors do not need to wait for a deeper pullback. He suggests the portfolio construction matters more than precise entry timing and that adding into it now is fine.
Buy US mega-cap tech for ten years.
Park argues Korean stocks often behave like cyclical first-tier subcontractors and are not ideal 10-year holds. In contrast, US mega-cap technology such as Apple, Microsoft, Meta, and Amazon can be bought now and held for 10 years because of durable global competitive positions.
Hold TSMC as ten-year compounder.
Park says that while many Korean stocks are too cyclical for 10-year holding, companies with monopolistic competitiveness such as TSMC can be held for 10 years despite volatility. He advises checking whether a holding has that kind of durable competitive quality before setting a long-term strategy.
Watch Korean robotics for third-wave entry.
The article's interviewees see robotics and physical AI as a potential tenbagger industry whose total market can eventually exceed semiconductors, with Korea holding manufacturing data advantages. Park personally says he avoids first-wave speculation and prefers to wait for the second-wave adjustment to finish, then buy the robotics value chain on third-wave momentum using CANSLIM, making this a watchlist theme rather than an immediate buy.
Korean department stores benefit from premium tourism.
Park reviews a column arguing foreign tourist spending is shifting from duty-free cosmetics purchases to premium and luxury spending at department stores. Shinsegae, Lotte, and Hyundai Department Store posted strong second-quarter results with sharply higher foreign sales, resembling the Japan department store re-rating, though won strength is flagged as a later risk.
Buy AI infrastructure software leaders.
Park relays the Samsung Active manager's view that the AI-led rally is not over, but leadership may broaden from hardware to software. Infrastructure software such as Palantir and Snowflake is seen as an under-owned 'empty house' because the market fears AI substitution, yet their Q2 results showed AI-driven growth as enterprises adopt AI. The manager's ETF has Palantir and Snowflake as its top two holdings.
Buy Samsung/SK Hynix memory supercycle.
Nomura expects memory supply shortages to last until 2028 because AI demand is overwhelming supply. Long-term contracts with premiums of up to 20% and strong penalty clauses give Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, and Micron unprecedented earnings visibility. The firm sees Samsung and SK Hynix as seriously cheap, with targets of 670,000 won and 4.7 million won respectively; won strength is a near-term risk but rising memory ASPs should offset it.
