Summary

The morning brief covers global market updates, focusing on Chinese equities, US big tech capex trends, and the crypto stablecoin market. Domestically, the analysts discuss the recent sharp drop in Korean memory semiconductor stocks and evaluate the earnings and margin outlooks for defense and power equipment companies.

  • Huafon Chemical reported strong Q2 earnings driven by spandex price hikes and improved margins.
  • Circle is expanding its USDC circulation and preparing to launch a new chain to capture stablecoin market growth.
  • US hyperscalers' capex growth is projected to peak in 2026, with free cash flow bottoming in 2027.
  • Korean memory makers could see improved profitability by shifting wafer capacity from HBM to high-margin general DRAM.
  • HD Hyundai Electric faces limited margin expansion due to peaking US export premiums and a weaker product mix.
  • LIG Nex1's structural margin growth is secured by a massive order backlog and an increasing export portion.
  • Hyundai Rotem's future margins may be diluted by local joint venture requirements for overseas contracts.
Ideas
Wang Bujang China Market Analyst 9:07
Spandex price hikes and margin improvements drive upside.
Huafon Chemical's Q2 earnings beat expectations due to spandex price hikes and margin improvements. The spandex spread has recovered as oversupply was resolved by competitor bankruptcies, presenting further upside if demand improves.

Stablecoin market growth and new chain boost Circle.
Circle is showing strong growth in USDC circulation and improving RLDC margins. The stablecoin market is projected to grow massively by 2030, and Circle's new chain launch in September could further boost its revenue and market position.
USDC MED
Choi Ho Vice President 53:41
Big tech momentum returns when FCF bottoms.
Hyperscalers' capex growth is expected to peak in 2026, and their free cash flow will bottom out in 2027. The stock momentum for big tech companies will likely return around this inflection point when the narrative of declining FCF reverses.

Seon-gu Manager 75:44
Shifting capacity to general DRAM improves profitability.
Despite rumors of Nvidia lowering HBM4 specs and prices, shifting wafer capacity from HBM to general server DRAM (which currently has high margins around 80%) could actually improve overall profitability for memory makers.

Seon-gu Manager 94:42
Margin expansion is limited due to product mix.
HD Hyundai Electric's margin expansion is likely limited going forward. The premium for US exports is reaching its limit, and an increasing mix of lower-margin distribution transformers could dilute overall profitability.
267260.KS MED
Seon-gu Manager 99:14
Increasing export portion will structurally drive up margins.
LIG Nex1's recent 17% drop on a slight earnings miss is an overreaction. The company has a massive order backlog, and its export portion is set to increase from 25% to over 50%, which will structurally drive up profit margins through 2028-2029.
079550.KS HIGH
Seon-gu Manager 103:37
Local joint ventures will dilute future profit margins.
Hyundai Rotem's profit margins have likely peaked because future overseas contracts involve local joint ventures and assembly, which will dilute profitability compared to direct domestic production exports.
