Park Hyun-sang — Deputy Head

Summary

Park Hyun-sang, a manager at Yuanta Securities' Bucheon branch, reviews the January 6 session in which KOSPI rebounded on retail buying while foreign investors sold futures. He sees the index supported by semiconductor earnings upgrades and ample liquidity but warns the rally is too fast and the rotation is unhealthy. The discussion covers Samsung Electronics and SK hynix, Hyundai Motor, shipbuilding, power equipment, robotics, biotech, and lagging holding companies, with emphasis on position sizing and event risk.

  • KOSPI rebounded despite foreign futures selling, led by retail liquidity and semiconductor earnings upgrades.
  • Park views the index as supported but cautions against chasing the too-fast rally.
  • Samsung Electronics and SK hynix benefit from rising profit estimates, but supply and upcoming earnings need monitoring.
  • Hyundai Motor is seen as undervalued with tariff relief and robot optionality; buying on dips is preferred.
  • Shipbuilding is highlighted as a bottoming sector with intra-sector rotation.
  • Robotics and biotech are event-driven watches, while power equipment needs earnings confirmation.
  • Less-risen holding companies are favored for comfortable holding into late-January catalysts.
Ideas
Park Hyun-sang Deputy Head 3:12
Memory leaders strong but overheated near term
Samsung Electronics and SK hynix are supported by rapid earnings estimate upgrades: Samsung's 2025 operating profit estimates have moved from roughly KRW 100tn toward KRW 150tn, and combined 2026 estimates have risen toward KRW 300tn on AI/server DRAM demand. However, the stocks have already surged too fast, foreign futures selling suggests unhealthy short-term supply, and he advises not chasing aggressively but rather riding the trend with position-size discipline and watching the January 8 earnings.

KOSPI stays supported by earnings upgrades
The KOSPI is likely to remain stable rather than break down. Although the index quickly reached brokerage target levels, persistent EPS upgrades for Samsung Electronics and SK hynix, stronger foundry conditions, higher server DRAM prices, and ample retail liquidity should keep the market supported, with dips likely to be refilled.
Park Hyun-sang Deputy Head 9:22
Shipbuilding bottoming, attractive for rotation
Shipbuilding is one of the more accessible sectors: it corrected significantly, held above its lows, and has begun turning up with intra-sector rotation, making it attractive even though it has not fully run.
Park Hyun-sang Deputy Head 10:23
Buy Hyundai Motor on dips
Hyundai Motor is undervalued, with tariff concerns already negotiated down from 25% to 15% and therefore likely improving 2025 earnings estimates. Boston Dynamics' Atlas humanoid and potential deployment at Hyundai's U.S. Metaplant add robot optionality. He prefers staged buying on dips because today's candle was weak.
Park Hyun-sang Deputy Head 12:40
Wait for post-CES robot consolidation
CES-driven robot news and humanoid developments are event-driven. Korean January leaders often rest for about two to three weeks after the initial event before resuming, so he wants to wait for the post-CES consolidation and a second spark rather than chase now.
Park Hyun-sang Deputy Head 13:20
Biotech faces JPM event sell risk
Biotech was a favored sector through December, but the upcoming J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference is an event risk. If investors hold too long and one large seller appears, the sector could see a broad sell-the-news move, so he flags it as a setup to monitor.
Park Hyun-sang Deputy Head 13:49
Power equipment needs earnings confirmation
HD Hyundai Electric's guidance looked like a miss versus sell-side expectations, but management tends to be conservative and historically has exceeded guidance. Q4 power-equipment results are likely in line, though some companies could miss, and the chart has not completed its setup, so he wants earnings confirmation before buying.
Park Hyun-sang Deputy Head 25:35
Hold lagging Korean holding companies
He prefers less-risen sectors such as holding companies, where late-January momentum from the commercial law amendment and third-party buyback/cancellation themes could be positive. He is comfortable holding these laggards while technical trades continue in semiconductor equipment and batteries.
