Trade Ideas
Lee Kwon-hee CEO, Economist 56:22
Buy Korean semiconductors on structural AI growth.
South Korean semiconductor stocks, particularly Samsung Electronics and SK hynix, are in a structural growth phase driven by AI demand, not a cyclical upturn. The current pullback is a buying opportunity as earnings remain robust and the long-term AI infrastructure buildout supports continued demand. Government intervention in the Samsung strike limits downside risk.
Lee Kwon-hee CEO, Economist 56:40
Long Hyundai Motor for robotics transformation.
Hyundai Motor has significant upside potential due to its robotics and autonomous vehicle capabilities, including Boston Dynamics and its manufacturing automation edge. The stock is undervalued compared to global peers like Toyota, and the market underestimates its long-term transformation into a mobility and robotics company.
Lee Jong-won Team Lead, WM Center, Hana Securities 212:07
LIG Nex1 benefits from defense robotics boom.
LIG Nex1 is a direct beneficiary of the US defense budget surge for autonomous warfare systems. Its ownership of Ghost Robotics and the successful deployment of the Vision 60 robot in US special forces testing positions it for significant revenue growth as the Pentagon scales up unmanned combat systems from 2026 onward.
Cho Dong-hyun CEO, Undefined Labs 365:00
Buy Circle on dips for stablecoin growth.
Circle, the issuer of USDC, is a long-term investment in the secular growth of stablecoins and on-chain finance. The stock should be bought on sharp dips, particularly if the Clarity bill fails in the near term, as the eventual regulatory clarity will drive massive adoption. The company is diversifying revenue beyond Treasury interest into payment fees and tokenized money market funds.
