Summary

Park Se-ik reviews news on the weakening won, a bullish Samsung Electronics analyst call, and the complex effects of MSCI inclusion. He shares a rumor on Samsung foundry orders, plans to add contrarian shipbuilding and defense positions, and relays a sector rotation strategy to manage volatility. MSCI dynamics are highlighted as favoring IT over other Korean sectors.

  • Won weakness caused by structural factors like overseas reinvestment and foreign exchange hedging, damaging import-heavy sectors.
  • Samsung Electronics gets a bold target upgrade to 530,000 KRW on AI memory boom and HBM4 leadership.
  • Insider rumor suggests Samsung could win Google TPU foundry orders, challenging TSMC.
  • Park Se-ik considers adding beaten-down shipbuilding and defense stocks for contrarian gains.
  • Eugene Investment Research recommends lifting weights in IT appliances, power equipment, machinery, and shipbuilding to reduce concentration risk.
  • MSCI DM inclusion would favor Korean IT sector while causing passive outflows from consumer, industrial, and financial sectors.
