Ideas
Reduce Samsung and SK hynix exposure.
Semiconductor stocks like Samsung Electronics and SK hynix may underperform in the second half. The market has shifted from a semiconductor-dominated rally in H1 to a stock-picking environment. Having too much exposure to these two stocks could feel left out. Recommendation is to reduce semiconductor weighting to 20-30%, with 40% maximum only if cost basis is low. The first bounce in semiconductors has already occurred, and a further pullback would be a buying opportunity, but if they fail to rebound next week, aggressively cut position.
KOSDAQ to reach 1000 outperforming KOSPI.
The KOSDAQ index will reach 1,000 points by year-end, outperforming KOSPI. The first bounce from oversold levels is over, but after a consolidation, KOSDAQ has more upside. KOSPI needs to break above its prior high to reach 10,000, while KOSDAQ already retraced from above 1,000, making the upside path faster. If KOSDAQ holds up for another month, the trend has changed and strength will continue into early next year.
Korean equities to outperform US equities.
Korean equities will outperform US equities. The US has outperformed for over 10 years, but since last year Korea has been stronger and this is not temporary. When social media interest in US stocks peaks, it often signals a top, and Korean market becomes much stronger.

Buy secondary batteries on oversold bounce.
Secondary battery stocks are a buy now because they have been extremely oversold and fundamentals are improving. Samsung SDI turned to profit after seven quarters, LG Energy Solution after three, and LNF reported solid earnings. Although valuations are not cheap (50x P/E for cells), stocks can rise on supply-demand flows as money rotates from semiconductors into other sectors. Samsung SDI has better stock momentum and is preferred over LG Energy Solution. US regulation against China further benefits Korean battery companies.
Robotis strong robotics play.
Robotics sector is the second most attractive after biotech. He specifically bought Robotis after selling Hyundai Motor, signaling strong conviction. Robotis is a pure-play robotics company that should benefit from the growing robot theme.
Naver and LG Electronics likely to rebound.
Naver and LG Electronics have pulled back sharply after the Jensen Huang visit like a decalcomania, but they are likely to receive growth revaluation and rally again. They are part of the broader rotation into beaten-down quality names.
Hyundai Motor attractive value-robot play.
Hyundai Motor Group is attractive as a value-plus-robot play. Hyundai Motor trades at about 11x P/B versus global automakers at 12x, so there is upside. The recent pullback after the Jensen Huang visit was excessive, and growth revaluation could come from the robot business as well, making the group a good rebound candidate among heavily-sold-off sectors.
Biotech stocks top pick for H2.
Korean biotech and pharmaceutical stocks are the top sector pick for the second half. Samsung Biologics and Celltrion are stable, large-cap options; Alteogen offers higher growth and volatility; DND Pharmatech presents a buying opportunity after a recent plunge that was not a real negative; Hanall Biopharma is a KOSPI-listed biotech worth watching. The sector benefits from rotation away from overbought semiconductors and from a market environment where many oversold names rebound.
