Summary

Lee Kwon-hee, CEO of Wizwave, discusses why AI and memory semiconductors are the market's strongest earnings story despite macro noise. He argues Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix are undervalued, with HBM re-acceleration in 2027 underappreciated, and expects the KOSPI to regain 7,500. The conversation also covers US rates, the Clarity Act/stablecoin expansion, China's memory threat, and Iranian geopolitical risk.

  • US payroll data caused short-term selling, but AI hardware and memory semis still rallied.
  • OpenAI's model push and Nvidia's Blackwell deployment are driving memory demand.
  • Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix are seen as valuation/psychology victims, not fundamental breakdowns.
  • China's CXMT is judged as not yet a genuine HBM/DRAM threat.
  • The Clarity Act and stablecoin expansion may affect US Treasury demand and rates.
  • Iran/Hormuz risk is recognized but not yet fully priced by markets.
  • Lee maintains a bullish long-term KOSPI view, with 7,500 as a near-term target.

AI/memory semis are the strongest earnings trade.
Lee argues that the US market's employment-report-driven dip obscures the real signal: AI hardware and memory semiconductors rallied sharply. The catalyst was OpenAI's new model push and Jensen Huang's comment that Nvidia's current 100,000-unit Blackwell deployment could be followed by another 400,000 units, implying a massive additional need for memory. He says investors are recognizing that AI/memory is the only area where earnings growth outweighs even rising rates, making earlier memory demand and price worries meaningless.

Hold Samsung, SK Hynix; fundamentals strong.
Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix are trading at valuations that do not believe second-half or next-year earnings even though AI memory fundamentals have not deteriorated. The China CXMT threat is overblown because memory equipment is in short supply, CXMT cannot easily expand capacity, its HBM3 sample is not comparable to HBM4, and Korean suppliers still hold a wide technology gap. He advises investors to hold through the slow psychological recovery instead of taking profits, because there is no fundamental reason for a major new decline and the stocks should be higher six to twelve months out.

KOSPI can quickly regain 7,500.
Lee remains broadly bullish on the KOSPI. He notes he called 7,500 when it was much lower and says from around 6,800 the index can quickly return to 7,500. The rebound is slower because investor sentiment is damaged and overhead supply from trapped buyers must be absorbed, but the path remains upward and the current weak sentiment may be the last opportunity for long-term investors.
