Ideas
Memory cycle bottomed, 60% upside potential.
Morgan Stanley's Asia desk reversed from sell to buy on Korean memory, citing structural AI demand expansion, supply tightness, and attractive valuations after a 40% correction. City refuted bearish concerns (HBM spec cut, price collapse rumors) as supply issues not demand destruction, with memory supply-demand balance worsening (utilization falling to 60-80%). The speaker believes the memory sell-off is ending and sees 60% upside for Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, though suggests holding rather than over-concentrating.
KOSDAQ rotation rally, trend breakout.
KOSDAQ has broken its downtrend and rallied 20-25% from the low, with broad sector rotation and institutional inflows supporting further gains. The market structure shift away from only mega-cap semiconductor stocks signals a healthier, more investable small/mid-cap rebound.
KOSDAQ biotech still buyable before September.
KOSDAQ biotech/pharma sector remains strong without pulling back, offering a still-buyable entry. September brings a KOSDAQ upgrade mechanism catalyst, and biotech leadership is essential for KOSDAQ outperformance. Alteogen and ABL Bio are preferred for less volatility compared to high-beta names like Factron.
Optical communication buy dips, volatile theme.
Optical communication themed stocks are a high-volatility buy-on-dips opportunity. Institutional investors are now looking at around five companies, and near-term events like Lumentum and Cerebras earnings keep the theme active. Warning that chasing rallies is dangerous; only buy after pullbacks.
Data center stocks resilient, add on dips.
Data center theme stocks have been resilient, not giving back much of prior gains. A second mega-project inspection meeting on Monday and ongoing data center demand narrative support the sector. Watch for pullbacks to add exposure, with KOSPI names like SK Eternix, GS Construction, SGC Energy, and Naver tied to the theme.
Robotics dip buy, Chinese IPO catalyst.
Robotics stocks dipped, creating a buy-on-weakness opportunity. Chinese robotics company Unitree IPO provides a momentum catalyst, and the sector has seen institutional inflows. SPG faces trading restrictions, which could redirect demand to Robotis as the fastest revenue-growth name alongside Rainbow Robotics with the largest market cap.
Equipment stocks stronger than memory recently.
Semiconductor equipment/materials (소부장) stocks are likely to outperform memory names near-term, fueled by SK Hynix's 40 trillion KRW investment plan, strong US equipment performance, and upcoming mega project inspection meeting. The speaker recommends paying more attention to 소부장 than to Samsung/SK Hynix for the next week.
SK Group stocks get SMR cooperation catalyst.
Bill Gates' planned visit to discuss SMR cooperation with SK Group provides a short-term event catalyst for SK Group stocks. SK already holds a stake in TerraPower, and the cooperation talks could boost sentiment across the group's listed entities.
