Ideas
AMD selloff is overdone
AMD's post-earnings selloff looks overdone: revenue rose 34% and EPS beat consensus, while the guided gross-margin decline from 57% to 55% is largely a normal first-quarter semiconductor seasonal pattern. The comparison with Nvidia's 70% margin and delayed China export approvals are being used as selloff triggers, but they do not justify the magnitude of the decline.
Software selloff overdone on AI fears
The software selloff driven by fears that AI will replace software is being challenged as illogical. Jensen Huang argues AI is a tool that evolves software rather than kills it, and enterprise software for legal, financial, and tax work requires precision and accountability that AI cannot yet provide. Major investors say enterprise software remains defensible, even as AI-disrupted content, data analytics, and visualization software are more at risk.
Alt managers oversold on software fears
Alternative asset managers and private-credit firms sold off on fears that software exposure would damage their portfolios, but the disclosed exposure is limited. KKR says software is only about 7% of its portfolio and that the industry habitually overreacts to such fears, while Blue Owl says it monitors the situation and sees no special risk. The selloff despite in-line results creates an oversold setup.
Samsung benefits from HBM4 DRAM upcycle
Samsung Electronics is expanding its Pyeongtaek P4 DRAM line and shifting toward the 1c process for HBM4 because orders are outpacing available capacity. The plan targets 100k-120k wafers per month by early next year and would lift annual DRAM capacity about 18%. DRAM demand is unlikely to weaken through next year, and Q1 memory prices are forecast to rise 80-90% quarter-over-quarter, supporting Samsung's memory earnings.
Critical mineral price floors help refiners
The US-led critical minerals trade bloc, now called FOGI and covering 56 countries with Korea as chair, aims to create enforceable price floors and tariffs to protect non-China refining from cheap Chinese supply. The policy is designed to make refining and critical-mineral projects economically viable again and to encourage investment in rare earths and related minerals.
Korea Zinc gains from refining policy
Korea Zinc is cited as a direct beneficiary example because its Tennessee refinery investment of about KRW 11 trillion is in critical-mineral refining, an area where Korea retains eco-friendly refining technology. The FOGI price-floor and tariff support could improve refining economics and make the project more attractive.
E-Mart benefits from dawn delivery deregulation
Proposed deregulation to allow large marts to operate overnight for dawn delivery would let E-Mart use its nationwide store network as distributed logistics centers, sharply expanding its dawn-delivery reach and helping it compete with Coupang, which currently benefits from the restriction. E-Mart shares rose about 9% on the news, while Coupang's regulatory advantage could narrow if the rule changes.
