Summary

Baek In-jae presents a bullish case for Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, arguing they are undervalued despite strong global earnings. He also highlights the KOSDAQ index as deeply oversold and a buying opportunity, supported by semiconductor equipment/materials and biotech sectors. The speaker neutralizes fears of foreign selling, claiming it is a rebalancing rather than an exit, and identifies NVIDIA's earnings as a key near-term catalyst for market recovery.

  • Baek In-jae believes Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix are long-term buys based on top-tier global operating profits.
  • The KOSDAQ index is seen as oversold (ADR 59.9, RSI 35), signaling a bottom and potential rebound.
  • Semiconductor equipment and material companies are expected to benefit directly from Samsung and SK Hynix growth.
  • Foreign selling of Korean equities is interpreted as position rebalancing, not a structural exit.
  • NVIDIA's earnings and guidance are positioned as a decisive short-term market catalyst.
  • The speaker advises a long-term perspective and not to be swayed by daily volatility.
  • Government support for the KOSDAQ market is noted as a positive factor.
  • The Korean biotech sector is mentioned as improving but not a standalone strong call.

Samsung and Hynix are undervalued global leaders.
Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix are among the top global companies in operating profit (Samsung expected 2nd, SK Hynix 4th in 2026). Their stocks have not fully reflected this fundamental strength, with Samsung underperforming global peers due to labor union concerns. Once the union issue is resolved, the valuation gap should close, offering significant upside. Long-term, the trend points to a 500 trillion won market cap era for Samsung.

Semiconductor equipment/materials will rise.
As Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix expand sales and investment, domestic semiconductor equipment and material companies (소부장) will inevitably see increased demand and revenue, leading to stock price appreciation.

KOSDAQ is oversold, should rebound.
The KOSDAQ index is extremely oversold based on technical indicators (ADR at 59.9, RSI at 35), which historically signals a buying opportunity. The index contains semiconductor equipment/materials and biotech stocks that will benefit from the semiconductor uptrend and improving biotech fundamentals. Government support also adds conviction. Therefore, it is time to accumulate or hold KOSDAQ positions.
