Summary

Park Geun-hyung argues that the Astra-driven memory rally has legs, with Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix as dip-buy candidates supported by foreign inflows and structural AI memory demand. He also sees broad KOSPI upside with limited downside and would use FOMC or options-expiry volatility to add exposure. He highlights favorable setups in US September dip-buying, Korean nuclear power, Nvidia and Micron, Korean semis, and won-strength beneficiaries such as Korean Air, while warning that won strength pressures Korean exporters.

  • Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix are rallying as foreigners return after the Astra announcement.
  • KOSPI is back above 7,100; near-term resistance is 7,500 with a reduce zone around 8,100.
  • September US weakness is seen as a buy-the-dip setup, especially around the FOMC.
  • Korean nuclear power, fittings, valves, gas pipes and equipment are strengthening on US nuclear plant investment headlines.
  • Nvidia and Micron can recover if absolute operating margins hold, and GPU rental prices remain firm.
  • Korean semiconductors are historically cheap at about 4x P/B and should be held.
  • Won strength is boosting Korean Air but pressuring Korean exporters.
Ideas

Buy Samsung/SK Hynix on dips
After the Astra announcement, memory semiconductor sentiment improved strongly in US and European trading. Foreign investors returned with 2-3 trillion won of buying in Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, and AI memory demand is structurally rising because Astra/AGI-style models consume far more tokens and GPU clusters scale from 100,000 to 400,000 GPUs; China's domestic HBM effort is seen as only about 1% of Nvidia's total compute by 2028. Therefore dips in Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix should be bought rather than sold.

KOSPI upside to 8,100
KOSPI recovered above 7,100, Korean 12-month forward EPS is not rolling over, valuation is historically cheap, and downside looks limited to around 6,300-6,500. The speaker sees 7,500 as near resistance but would only reduce meaningfully near 8,100; FOMC or options-expiry shakeouts should be used as buy-the-dip opportunities.
EWY HIGH

Korean nuclear value chain strengthening
Reports of US investment and direction toward eight nuclear plants, even if not finalized, are fueling a concrete nuclear power equipment cycle. Korean nuclear power stocks, fitting valves, gas pipes, and related equipment are surging as sentiment improves.

Buy S&P 500 September dips
US September weakness is concentrated in the third and fourth weeks; historically, September dips have been buy-the-dip opportunities. This year the September 16 FOMC can be an inflection point, and if the Fed is interpreted positively the usual seasonality may not apply; any September pullback should be bought.
SPY MED
Park Geun-hyung Director 11:39
Nvidia, Micron recover if margins hold
KB Securities argues that the market's focus on decelerating profit growth is misplaced; historically Nvidia and Micron recovered and made new highs after large drawdowns as long as absolute operating margin was maintained. GPU rental prices are also holding firm, suggesting depreciation fears and AI bubble concerns are premature.
NVDA MU MED
Park Geun-hyung Director 13:02
Korean semis historically cheap; hold
The Korean semiconductor sector is trading around 4x P/B versus historical low valuations around 6x, suggesting it is at a low point even under a changing valuation paradigm. The speaker argues semis should be held through the boring period; semiconductor materials and equipment already moved first, so sentiment for the broader group should improve.

Won strength boosts Korean Air
Korean Air is making new highs because won strength is directly benefiting the airline; this is an example of a clear currency-driven winner even as other export-oriented names face estimate cuts.
003490.KS MED
Park Geun-hyung Director 20:39
Won strength pressures Korean exporters
Won strength is a negative for Korean exporters because dollar-converted earnings can be revised down; the speaker specifically says export and some consumer-related stocks are falling due to the currency headwind and investors need to consider sector-level estimate cuts.
