Summary

Lee Kwon-hee reviewed the August 31 KOSPI/KOSDAQ session, where the market recovered to slight gains after a sharp morning drop. He argued foreign futures positioning and closing-auction buying suggest foreigners may push KOSPI toward 2,750 this week. He also highlighted secondary batteries, semiconductor substrates, SSD-related Fadu, Alteogen, Chuseok tourism names, Korea Aerospace, CMTX, HYBE, and Doosan Enerbility as key ideas or watch setups.

  • The market recovered to slight gains after a morning slump, and Lee maintains an upward bias.
  • Foreigners bought 400 billion won in the closing auction and accumulated about 3.5 trillion won in futures over four days.
  • Trading value was roughly halved, which Lee sees favoring small and mid caps.
  • Secondary battery stocks led on earnings-improvement expectations.
  • Alteogen was highlighted as a buy-on-break-of-300,000-won setup.
  • Chuseok and China Mid-Autumn Festival tourism watchlist names were flagged.
  • Korea Aerospace and CMTX were identified as technical setup and turnaround candidates.
  • HYBE and Doosan Enerbility were seen as basing or still-positive names.
Ideas
Lee Kwon-hee CEO, Economist 0:56
Secondary battery stocks remain positive.
Secondary battery stocks were the session's strongest group on earnings-improvement expectations; POSCO Future M and L&F led, SK Innovation and Samsung SDI showed strength, and LG Energy Solution is also viewed positively, supporting a continued sector uptrend.
Lee Kwon-hee CEO, Economist 4:34
Solder ball exports improving for Duksan.
Duksan Hi Metal makes solder balls, and its solder ball export data is coming in stronger than expected; after a related report the stock began moving, with the export-linked fundamental improvement supporting the move.
Lee Kwon-hee CEO, Economist 5:09
Socket demand lifts substrate/PCB names.
Simmtech and TLB have been strong on recent Mondays as increased socket demand is reflected, and Daeduck Electronics joined the move; semiconductor substrate/PCB names are benefiting from continuing demand.
Lee Kwon-hee CEO, Economist 8:18
SSD demand benefits Fadu.
Nvidia's Rubin Ultra may reduce HBM capacity, leading to more lower-spec HBM and larger racks; lower memory capacity could then shift demand toward SSD cache, and Fadu, as an SK-affiliated company, may be best positioned to benefit within SSD-related names.
Lee Kwon-hee CEO, Economist 9:48
Buy Alteogen below 300,000 won.
After its bonus issue, Alteogen has repeatedly defended the 300,000-won level; below that level buyers step in, so the strategy is to buy Alteogen on a break under 300,000.
Lee Kwon-hee CEO, Economist 18:24
Watch Samsung/SK hynix rebound persistence.
Samsung Electronics and SK hynix rebounded today; Lee says it is important to monitor whether that rebound continues, because their persistence would support the broader market.
Lee Kwon-hee CEO, Economist 18:52
Korean stocks still biased upward.
Foreigners sold spot equities but accumulated about 3.5 trillion won in futures over four days and bought 400 billion won in the closing auction; to make real profits on those futures they need to lift the market, and Lee expects KOSPI to be pushed toward 2,750 this week.
Lee Kwon-hee CEO, Economist 18:52
Korean stocks still biased upward.
With trading value roughly halved from peak levels, mid-cap and small-cap stocks are likely to strengthen; after September policy classifications are released, qualifying stocks may see strong concentration, and KOSDAQ may remain relatively resilient.
Lee Kwon-hee CEO, Economist 19:48
Watch Chinese tourism/Chuseok beneficiaries.
Chuseok and China's Mid-Autumn Festival are approaching and Chinese tourist inflows are visible; Hotel Shilla, Seobu T&D, and Lotte Tourism Development are trying to turn up and are worth putting on a watchlist for event-driven trades, though they are not clearly attractive yet.
Lee Kwon-hee CEO, Economist 21:41
Korean shipbuilders face unresolved uncertainty.
Korean shipbuilding names face uncertainty while US JV investment terms are being negotiated and legal disputes remain; Lee is waiting for the uncertainty to clear before getting directional on the sector.
Lee Kwon-hee CEO, Economist 22:06
Wait for Korea Aerospace technical turn.
Korea Aerospace is drawing attention as a stake is being increased, which could create a governance issue that would be positive for the stock; however the stock is still in a downtrend, so Lee wants to wait for it to move above the 60-day line and settle near 150,000 won before becoming constructive.
Lee Kwon-hee CEO, Economist 22:41
CMTX bottomed with cheap valuation.
CMTX is a recently listed small cap whose valuation has fallen to around 9x with improving earnings; lockup overhang is mostly cleared and the stock appears to have found a bottom, making it personally worth watching for a turn.
Lee Kwon-hee CEO, Economist 24:02
Doosan Enerbility still looks good.
Doosan Enerbility recently rebounded and, despite a small decline today, still looks good to Lee as a positive watch/hold candidate.
Lee Kwon-hee CEO, Economist 24:06
HYBE basing, may move next month.
HYBE has not risen even as BTS generates cash, and sentiment is weak; the chart looks to be basing, and once investor sentiment stabilizes after Chuseok, HYBE could move within the next month.
