Ideas
Tariff relief and robots lift Hyundai Motor.
Hyundai Motor surged nearly 6% above KRW 500,000 as investors expect the US tariff dispute to be defused and the US investment special law to help; the group also has robot business expectations. The speaker expects the stock to keep rising and says investors should get on board.
Equipment/materials face more profit-taking near term.
Korean semiconductor equipment/materials and glass substrate shares were weak and may see more profit-taking because Samsung and SK hynix have not shown a clear capacity expansion roadmap; short-term, the group is unattractive.
LG Electronics is undervalued robot play.
LG Electronics jumped 22% on renewed robot business expectations; it is undervalued versus liquidation value with PBR below 1. A large-cap moving on heavy volume and a long bullish candle is a signal to follow, so he added it to his watchlist and sees it as actionable after a short pullback.
GLP-1 Mexico export lifts Hanmi Pharm.
Hanmi Pharm's GLP-1 diabetes drug Efpeglenatide has been exported to Mexico and supply/demand has improved; obesity treatment news adds a catalyst and the stock is pushing toward KRW 700,000.
Strong earnings rebound lifts Hugel shares.
Hugel reported strong earnings and rebounded sharply after a short-term selloff in aesthetic/cosmetic names; the speaker expects it to rise again.
PharmaResearch rebound, but overhead supply delays.
PharmaResearch fell with aesthetic names, but the speaker now thinks it is okay, bought it around KRW 190,000, and expects a rebound; however, overhead supply means the move may take about six months.
Hyundai GF is cheap earnings growth.
Hyundai Green Food merged with Hyundai Home Shopping and renamed Hyundai GF Holdings; earnings rose over 33% YoY and PBR is only 0.49, making it cheap. He recommends looking at it on pullbacks.
Hyundai Department Store benefits from asset revaluation.
Hyundai Department Store, a major shareholder of Hyundai GF, is also attractive now as an asset stock being revalued, helped by earnings and wealth-effect spending.
Watch US 10-year yield above 4.3%.
The speaker says the key macro risk gauge is the US 10-year Treasury yield: if it moves above 4.3%, the market will inevitably shake, so investors should monitor it as an exit-risk signal.
Hold Samsung and SK hynix; buy dips.
Samsung Electronics and SK hynix have strong earnings and should be held, not traded; if the market shakes on rates, they become buying opportunities. Investors should only adjust weight, not sell.
KOSDAQ policy support improves index outlook.
The government is expected to announce detailed KOSDAQ support policies by February or March; this should improve KOSDAQ sentiment and supply/demand, making KOSDAQ-related trading setups more attractive.
US nuclear seminar supports Hyundai E&C.
Hyundai E&C held a seminar with US nuclear companies and is positioned to benefit as US nuclear news continues; the speaker sees ongoing nuclear catalysts tied to US developments.
Main nuclear pick Doosan Enerbility starting cycle.
Doosan Enerbility is the speaker's main nuclear pick; the nuclear cycle is just starting and the stock may repeat the strong chart pattern seen in Woori Technology, so he wants to add more.
Shipbuilding, defense, nuclear revival still ahead.
Shipbuilding, defense, and nuclear have paused after earnings but should revive: shipbuilders await US orders, defense has a multi-year global rearmament cycle, and nuclear is just starting. Investors should not abandon the group and could see another spurt.
Biotech rebound continues; favored names stay strong.
Biotech names were broadly strong and the rebound may continue; the speaker remains positive on Korean biotech, naming Alteogen, ABL Bio, and T&D Pharmatech as favored names.
Semiconductors lead market into first-half 2026.
The speaker expects semiconductors to lead the market through at least the first half of 2026, with memory pricing and Samsung/SK hynix earnings the key driver.
Power equipment grinds higher steadily.
Power equipment was strong and should continue to grind higher steadily, even if slowly; it is one of the groups that can keep going.
Commercial Act revision favors financials and holdings.
The third Commercial Act revision is expected by February, not March, and today's moves in holding companies and financials suggest informed positioning. He advises holding financial and holding-company exposure ahead of the policy and waiting for the sector's turn.
Switch L&F to EcoPro for KOSDAQ supply.
In secondary battery, he switched from L&F to EcoPro because EcoPro is on KOSDAQ, where policy expectation and supply/demand are better, while L&F is on KOSPI and has weak supply; this is a trading call.
Switch L&F to EcoPro for KOSDAQ supply.
In secondary battery, he switched from L&F to EcoPro because EcoPro is on KOSDAQ, where policy expectation and supply/demand are better, while L&F is on KOSPI and has weak supply; this is a trading call.
HD Hyundai Heavy is shipbuilding main pick.
Within shipbuilding, HD Hyundai Heavy Industries is the main pick; the sector is waiting for US orders, and new orders could trigger another rally.
Advanced-node capex lifts Korean equipment names.
Hanmi Semiconductor remains his top pick, while HPSP, Park Systems, and Leeno Industrial benefit from advanced-node competition between TSMC and Samsung; HPSP and Park Systems have more TSMC exposure, so 2nm/3nm capex should lift them.
STI targets double from 30,000 won.
STI, a stock he had pushed alone, has turned profitable; he has bought it and believes it can double from KRW 30,000 to KRW 60,000, with KRW 50,000 a plausible level.
KB Financial is dividend leader, more upside.
KB Financial has already risen a lot but should go higher because it is the leading dividend payer among financials.
SK Inc. lags, treasury shares support upside.
SK Inc. has not yet risen and is worth watching as a holding company with a large treasury shareholding.
LS holding structure offers fund-like upside.
LS has more upside and is worth watching as a holding company whose businesses function like a fund.
Doosan copper foil and substrate strength.
Doosan is a holding company worth watching because its copper foil and substrate businesses are strong.
Aerospace names need 20-30% correction.
His top aerospace picks need another 20-30% correction; investors should not buy now and should take profits.
Silicon2 correction is over, rebound due.
Silicon2 and beauty-device names were pushed down again after he warned holders to sell, but he now thinks they are okay and due for a rebound.
HYBE is in profit-taking phase, avoid entry.
HYBE is a good company, but now is not an entry point because it is in a profit-taking phase; he wants to sell around KRW 400,000.
NAVER stability makes it easier to hold.
NAVER is heavy and stable, with no sharp drops, making it easier to hold and respond to; he prefers this kind of steady large-cap.
iTECH medical robot sales start this year.
iTECH is developing medical devices/medical robots through WSI; sales should begin in earnest this year, so he advises buying on pullbacks with a maximum 5% portfolio position.
