Summary

Park Byung-chang, Director, reviews a volatile US session in which AMD and memory-related tech stocks fell sharply while Apple helped hold the index up. He argues the memory upcycle remains structurally intact because AI applications require ever more memory, even as short-term volatility and price burdens argue for risk management. The discussion also covers Korean sector rotations into solar/space solar, nuclear/power equipment, shipbuilding, and a positive proposed KOSDAQ market separation.

  • US tech saw sharp volatility, with AMD plunging after a headline beat and memory names like SanDisk and Micron selling off.
  • Google/Alphabet's doubled AI investment plan helped beaten-down AI semis rebound after hours, easing AI capex fears.
  • Park frames memory as a structural AI necessity, with shortage relief unlikely before 2028 and a longer upcycle.
  • SK hynix remains in a strong trend but faces near-term volatility after a large rally and is discussed through risk management.
  • Korean solar/space solar and nuclear/power equipment sectors rallied on policy and Musk-related news.
  • The speaker also highlights a positive KOSDAQ separation bill and a US think tank view favoring Korean shipbuilding.
Ideas

SK hynix trend intact; manage volatility.
SK hynix earns about twice Micron's profit while having a lower market cap, though simple US-Korea valuation comparisons are imperfect because of Micron's US halo. The chart remains very strong even after heavy foreign selling, and the overall trend is unchanged, but after a rally to about KRW 900,000 with sell-side targets near KRW 1.4-1.5M, near-term upside to a 1M target is limited, so volatility should be managed rather than a panic sale.

US software pressured by cloud-demand worries.
US software companies are under pressure from cloud-demand concerns and AI capex scrutiny, with persistent short selling; even a good earnings report like Palantir's can reverse sharply, while Oracle has continued to fall. The sector looks unattractive until those demand concerns clear.
Park Byeong-chang Director, MP Partners 7:21
Watch NVDA's 172 box support.
NVIDIA has fallen toward the 172-174 area, and 172 is the lower bound of its box. A decisive break would be a real warning for AI hardware, but the speaker expects volatility rather than a straight breakdown, followed by renewed differentiation and a resumption of NVIDIA's own trend.

Space solar theme has Korean momentum.
Elon Musk's team reportedly made secret visits to several Chinese solar companies amid SpaceX/xAI merger speculation and plans for space-based solar power for AI data centers. Space solar requires advanced equipment, wafers, battery modules, heterojunction and perovskite technology, and while China dominates solar, Korea may also benefit as the US contains China; Korean solar large caps surged on heavy volume, suggesting the theme has momentum.
Park Byeong-chang Director, MP Partners 19:03
Nuclear policy catalysts lift power equipment.
The US Department of Energy is exempting small nuclear reactor projects from environmental review, and Korea is prioritizing US nuclear investment. These policy catalysts lifted nuclear and power-equipment names such as Doosan Enerbility, KEPCO E&C, BHI, Woojin, LS Electric, and Sanil Electric, making the setup worth monitoring.
Park Byeong-chang Director, MP Partners 24:37
AMD overextended with weakening CPU demand.
AMD fell despite a headline beat because China revenue is uncertain and guidance was not strong; the speaker argues the bigger issues are that AMD overshot while NVIDIA was weak, and that rising memory prices may reduce PC and smartphone unit sales, hurting CPU makers. Forward growth therefore looks less secure, making AMD unattractive.
Park Byeong-chang Director, MP Partners 28:37
AI growth requires memory, upcycle intact.
AI agents, custom inference chips, and AI development at Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, and Tesla all require massive memory and data, so memory demand is unavoidable. The memory supply-demand upcycle may last longer than expected, with Intel's CEO saying shortage relief may not come until 2028 and with HBM evolving toward HBF. Despite sharp volatility after SanDisk and Micron spikes, the speaker sees the overall memory trend as intact and Samsung Electronics as a core Korean beneficiary.
Park Byeong-chang Director, MP Partners 38:16
Korean shipyards benefit from US capacity gap.
A US think tank argued that 'Made in US' shipbuilding is unrealistic because the US lacks the supply chain and components and costs about six times Korea; allied shipbuilding, especially Korea, is the only answer. This implies Korean shipyards should benefit from US naval and shipbuilding cooperation, and the speaker closes by noting shipbuilding is doing well.
Park Byeong-chang Director, MP Partners 39:03
KOSDAQ separation bill is structurally positive.
The Democratic Party proposed separating KOSDAQ from the Korea Exchange into a separate market with its own listing, disclosure, and delisting rules. The speaker views this positively because it could make it easier for innovative companies to list and for weak companies to be delisted faster, improving KOSDAQ's structure.
