  • Sector analysis shows IT and Communication have best earnings momentum and reasonable PEG ratios.
  • SK hynix flagged as overvalued with risks from AI capex slowdown and rising costs.

CCL leader benefits from supply shortage.
Kingboard Laminates is the global #1 in CCL (copper-clad laminate), benefiting from a glass fiber supply shortage that is driving price increases. The company is expanding capacity and targets raising CCL prices by over 20% in the second half. Strong earnings momentum with GP margin expansion supports a bullish outlook.

IT and Communication have strong earnings momentum.
The US IT and Communication Services sectors have strong earnings growth (40% and 26% respectively) and attractive PEG ratios below 1 (IT 0.6, Communication 0.8), making them still reasonably valued despite elevated P/E. These sectors are likely to continue leading as earnings momentum remains robust, rather than mean-reversion plays.

Reduce SK hynix on rallies.
SK hynix is trading near the top of its P/B band (8x forward P/B), and risks are rising: AI capex momentum may slow in H2 as FCF deteriorates for hyperscalers, long-end yield curve flattening is a leading indicator for capex declines, and cost pressures are mounting. The analyst recommends reducing positions on each rally.
