Ideas
Buy US equities during mid-term election volatility.
US equities remain attractive due to strong corporate earnings and optimism around AI adoption. Any market volatility caused by the upcoming mid-term elections should be viewed as a buying opportunity for a year-end rally.
Hold financials and telecoms for long-term stability.
Financial holding companies and telecom stocks are structurally stable and provide steady dividends. They are safe long-term holdings that can withstand current market volatility without significant downside risk.
Avoid aggressive buying in semiconductors amid uncertainty.
The semiconductor sector faces significant macro uncertainties, including inflation and concerns over AI capex sustainability. While long-term volume (Q) growth is expected, short-term price (P) drops could cause sharp corrections, making aggressive new purchases risky at this time.
Buy gold and silver as fiat alternatives.
Gold is highly attractive as trust in fiat currencies and government bonds declines, driven by rising national debt and geopolitical tensions. Silver is also a strong buy due to increasing industrial demand from sectors like solar and secondary batteries combined with limited supply.
Korean cosmetics momentum will continue through year-end.
Korean cosmetics companies, particularly OEM/ODM firms and indie brands, are seeing explosive export growth to Western markets. Despite Q3 traditionally being an off-season, strong earnings momentum is expected to continue through the end of the year.
Buy Samsung Electronics on the current overreaction.
The sharp drop in Samsung Electronics' stock due to disappointment over its dividend-focused shareholder return policy is an overreaction. The company still committed to a massive 110 trillion won return plan, making the current pullback a clear buying opportunity.
Buy secondary batteries and biotech in September.
Secondary batteries and biotech are the top sector picks for September. Biotech typically sees positive momentum from technology export deals in the fourth quarter, while secondary batteries are starting to reflect delayed positive earnings from Q2.
Buy construction stocks for data center buildouts.
Construction stocks are trading at very low PBRs and will benefit significantly from the upcoming cycle of building AI data centers and semiconductor fabs. They are an attractive play for next year regardless of interest rate movements.
Alteogen and ST Pharm benefit from mRNA/Keytruda.
Moderna's success with an mRNA cancer vaccine combined with Keytruda opens a new era of customized cancer treatments. Key Korean beneficiaries include Alteogen, which is developing a subcutaneous version of Keytruda, and ST Pharm, which supplies mRNA materials.
VC stocks attractive ahead of potential Kosdaq rally.
Venture capital investment in unlisted companies has surged recently, mirroring the pattern seen before the 2023 Kosdaq rally. This suggests a potential Kosdaq bull market next year, making VC stocks highly attractive as they benefit from successful exits.
Invest in revenue-generating crypto platforms over memecoins.
Instead of speculating on individual meme coins, investors should buy tokens of revenue-generating platforms like Pump.fun and Hyperliquid (HYPE), which directly link platform growth to token value through buybacks. Ethena (ENA) is also a strong beta play in bull markets due to high funding rates.
