Summary

Park Se-ik and Choi Ho review a SK Hynix report that cuts HBM margin estimates and target price, warning investors not to blindly trust analyst targets. They then discuss long-term US equity upside from debt and inflation, buying US big tech and future leaders on weakness, and Korean index dip-buying setups. The conversation also covers a moving-average allocation rule and near-term employment-data-driven volatility.

  • SK Hynix consensus earnings are declining because HBM operating margin estimates were lowered from about 80% to about 60%.
  • The SK Hynix target price was cut from 3.3 million won to 2.4 million won.
  • Nvidia and other customers are responding to high memory costs by moving to HBM4 and reducing stack count and capacity.
  • US government debt resolution via inflation supports a long-term upward trend in S&P 500 and Nasdaq QQQ.
  • US big tech is viewed as market-leading generals worth buying on valuation dips.
  • Tesla and Tempus AI are cited as future leaders to accumulate on weakness.
  • A rule-based strategy suggests adding S&P 500 and KOSPI below long-term moving averages and trimming overheat.
  • The speakers see a potential early-week KOSPI dip and late-week rebound around September employment and FOMC volatility.
Ideas
Choi Ho Vice President 0:06
SK Hynix earnings cuts require monitoring
SK Hynix consensus earnings have been falling since July because its larger HBM exposure forced 2026 profit estimates to be cut. The report lowered 2027 HBM operating margin from about 80% to about 60%, similar to 2026, and cut the target price from 3.3 million won to 2.4 million won. Customers such as Nvidia are responding to high memory costs by shifting to HBM4 instead of HBM4E and reducing stack count and capacity. The stock can rebound only when earnings estimate cuts stop or next-generation HBM terms become clear, so investors should monitor this rather than blindly trust target prices.

US indices trend upward via inflation
US government debt can ultimately be resolved through inflation, which erodes real debt burdens. Therefore, regardless of short-term volatility, S&P 500 and Nasdaq QQQ are long-term upward-trending assets. The speaker argues that rate-driven volatility should be accepted and used as an opportunity to buy good stocks cheaper.
QQQ HIGH
Park Se-ik CEO, ex-Chief Strategist 13:13
US indices trend upward via inflation
Equities are volatile and can fall 50%, so investors should use long-term moving averages. When S&P 500 or KOSPI falls decisively below its long-term moving average, investors should increase allocation; when the market becomes overheated, they should trim. This is a rule-based way to handle rate-driven volatility and treat external shocks as buying opportunities for good stocks.
SPY HIGH
Park Se-ik CEO, ex-Chief Strategist 16:40
Buy US big tech when cheap
US big tech companies are the practical generals driving the US economy, maintaining US technological hegemony and dollar hegemony. When these names become cheap, such as Meta falling to around 15x earnings, the speaker says investors should simply buy them without worry. September seasonal weakness and rate-driven selloffs should be used to accumulate them at lower prices.
US Big Tech META HIGH

Accumulate future leaders like Tesla, Tempus AI
The next generation of market leaders includes companies like Tesla and Tempus AI that are building future franchises. Some of these companies are not yet profitable but their stock prices rise with revenue growth. Investors should identify these future leaders and use September seasonal weakness and interest-rate-driven volatility to accumulate them for patient, long-term positions.

Buy KOSPI dips for weekly rebound
The Korean market pre-reflected Jackson Hole caution, so a Monday gap-down should be used to buy good stocks. The speaker expects Friday's unemployment rate to tick higher because job quality was weak and the World Cup effect ended, which would reduce rate-hike pressure and support a late-week rebound. He expects the KOSPI to produce a weekly bullish candle after early-week adjustment.
EWY MED
Park Se-ik CEO, ex-Chief Strategist 20:34
Buy Korean indices in panic selloffs
During severe market panics, buying Korean benchmark indices has paid off. The speaker notes that when KOSPI 200 broke 5,500, KOSPI 200 and KOSDAQ subsequently rose about 30%. He proposes deploying into these indices only during true panic selloffs, targeting repeated recoveries of roughly 26%, with the idea that 26% ten times produces 10x.
