Summary

Han Jiyoung from Kiwoom Securities explains that KOSDAQ's underperformance is due to extreme concentration in semiconductor large caps, but expects a reversal rally in autumn driven by a new league system. She recommends accumulating department store stocks on dips due to strong earnings and favorable FX, while cautioning against heavy allocation to narrative-driven robotics stocks. Foreign selling is seen as tactical, not structural.

  • KOSDAQ underperformance is driven by liquidity concentrated in KOSPI semiconductor large caps.
  • A KOSDAQ reversal rally is expected in September/October after the league system implementation.
  • Department store stocks show strong earnings growth and are attractive on pullbacks.
  • Robotics stocks are purely narrative-driven and prone to sharp corrections; avoid heavy exposure.
  • Foreign selling in KOSPI is tactical profit-taking, not a structural exit.
  • SpaceX IPO is not expected to be a major liquidity drain for Korean markets.
  • Extreme market concentration may increase intraday volatility.
  • OpenAI/Anthropic IPOs could be more concerning for liquidity in the second half.

KOSDAQ to rally in autumn.
KOSDAQ will experience a significant reversal rally in September/October due to the introduction of a tiered league system (1st/2nd/3rd division), which will improve index quality, trigger passive ETF launches, and rotate liquidity away from KOSPI large caps. The current underperformance is driven by extreme concentration in semiconductor large caps, not fundamental weakness.

Avoid heavy robotics exposure.
Korean robotics stocks are purely narrative-driven without earnings backing, making them extremely volatile with sharp declines during corrections. Heavy allocations (like those in semiconductors) are not recommended; they should only be used for momentum trading with tight risk control.

Accumulate Korean department store stocks.
Korean department store stocks are attractive to accumulate on pullbacks because of strong sales data (20% year-over-year growth in April retail data), a favorable exchange rate boosting foreign tourist spending, and wealth effects from domestic investors who profited. Earnings support justifies holding through short-term volatility.
