Summary

  • Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) is a defense play with positive catalysts including KF21 program progress.
  • Cash allocation should be minimal; investors are encouraged to stay fully invested.

Trade Ideas
Lee Kwon-hee CEO, Economist 0:51
Buy Samsung and SK Hynix for upside
Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix are not overheated; their P/E ratios are at the bottom of their historical bands. With strong foreign buying, structural memory growth, and DRAM price rises, they should not be sold and have significant upside. The speaker has repeatedly called for 50% gains.
Lee Kwon-hee CEO, Economist 2:44
Pharma/biotech to rally on rate cuts.
The Korean pharma/biotech sector is underperforming but presents a long-term opportunity. When the new Fed chair (Kevin Warsh) signals rate cuts, the sector could rally quickly. PharmaResearch specifically is expected to move higher.
Lee Kwon-hee CEO, Economist 6:05
Samsung Securities gains from US access.
Samsung Securities is benefiting from the launch of services allowing US individual investors to directly buy Korean stocks via Samsung Securities, and from global securities partnerships, leading to strong performance.
Lee Kwon-hee CEO, Economist 6:20
Mirae Asset IPO catalyst drives upside.
Mirae Asset Securities has momentum from an asset management IPO catalyst, which should drive further upside.
Lee Kwon-hee CEO, Economist 6:59
Naver undervalued via Mirae Asset stake
Naver holds an 8.59% stake in Mirae Asset Securities, which is not yet reflected in its stock price. As Mirae Asset Securities benefits from brokerage momentum (e.g., Samsung Securities' global comparison), Naver's hidden asset value should eventually be recognized.
Lee Kwon-hee CEO, Economist 7:44
Hold Hyundai Motor for long-term value
Hyundai Motor remains a core holding at 10% portfolio weight. Though currently not a market leader, the speaker maintains conviction based on long-term value and past recommendation.
Lee Kwon-hee CEO, Economist 13:30
Buy LG Energy and Posco Holdings
Secondary battery stocks, including LG Energy Solution and Posco Holdings, are poised to rise. LG Energy Solution has a target near 500,000 KRW, and Posco Holdings should surpass 550,000 KRW. The sector benefits from AI data center ESS demand.
Lee Kwon-hee CEO, Economist 14:46
Buy SK and SK Square undervalued
Holding companies SK and SK Square are trading at very low valuations (P/B of ~4x) despite SK Hynix's surge. The discount is unjustified and should narrow as the market recognizes their underlying asset value.
Lee Kwon-hee CEO, Economist 15:15
Korea Aerospace has upside potential
Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) is a key defense stock benefiting from increasing stakes by Hanwha Aerospace and positive developments in the KF21 program. Recent rumors about export issues are unfounded; the stock should be monitored for upside.
