SK Hynix ADR Surges! Why is the Korean Main Stock Plummeting? How to View the Hormuz Strait Negative Factor? | CEO Lee Gwon-hee

Summary

CEO Lee Gwon-hee analyzes the SK hynix ADR listing, Hormuz Strait tensions, and their limited lasting impact on Korean equities. He identifies strong stock-specific opportunities in Samsung Securities and OCI Holdings, a powerful capex cycle in Korean semiconductor equipment, and oversold bounces in bio/battery names. PharmaResearch and Silicon2 round out his watchlist for fundamental and technical turnarounds.

• SK hynix ADR premium is normal; domestic selling is temporary and long-term convergence is expected.
• Samsung Securities offers 45% upside supported by high-net-worth growth, ETF strength, IMA license, and cheap 1x PBR.
• OCI Holdings is a deep-value play on polysilicon recovery, depleted Chinese module inventory, and a 550,000-won target.
• Korean semiconductor equipment stocks (PSK, Wonik IPS, Eugene Tech, TES, Jusung Engineering, EO Technics, Komico) are in an early mega-cycle with valuation discounts to US peers.
• Bio and secondary battery stocks (Alteogen, Samsung SDI, Peptron) are bouncing from supply-driven oversold levels without fundamental damage.
• PharmaResearch is consolidating and attempting to break 360,000 won on solid fundamentals.
• Silicon2 is reviving on earnings expectations but needs to break its descending tunnel to confirm a reversal.
• Hormuz Strait tensions give only a short-lived jolt to oil and bond yields.
