Summary

Director Park Hyun-sang argues the extreme fear in Korean markets is overdone and a sharp rebound is brewing. He points to excessively sold semiconductor leaders, oversold names like Samchundang Pharm signaling a turn, and tactical entry points in shipbuilding, defense, and financials after pullbacks.

  • KOSPI tests 120-day moving average with double bottom potential amid COVID-era levels of investor panic, setting up a powerful bounce.
  • Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix have fallen far more than earnings reality warrants; SK Hynix down 43% from highs despite strong AI-driven memory demand.
  • Samchundang Pharm's limit-up after a ~90% crash shows deeply oversold stocks can surge on even modest catalysts.
  • Kimi K3's high GPU requirements reinforce the need for high-performance memory, a positive for semiconductor demand.
  • Korean shipbuilding charts show a constructive base, with solid earnings and positive backlog news yet to be priced in.
  • LIG Nex1 and defense stocks should be bought after a likely dip around Q2 results, with strong H2 earnings backlog.
  • Hyundai Mobis exhibits standout sideways resilience in a weak market, deserving attention.
  • KB Financial and bank stocks have already run up defensively; a pullback to box-range support offers a better entry.
Ideas

KOSPI poised to bounce from extremes
The KOSPI is testing the critical 120-day moving average and has formed a potential double bottom. Extreme fear and panic, with investors refusing to even check their accounts, mark historically reliable turning points. The market has priced in maximum pessimism and is set for a sharp bounce; breaking above 7,000 would end the downtrend.

Semiconductor oversold, strong rebound imminent
Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix have suffered an excessive sell-off despite ongoing AI-driven demand and strong supply-side shortages. SK Hynix collapsed 43% from highs, pricing in earnings that are far worse than realistic even with near-term softness. This extreme panic and oversold condition historically leads to a powerful rebound; the stocks have already discounted very negative outcomes and are poised for a sharp reversal.

Deeply oversold Samchundang rebounds on catalyst
Samchundang Pharm crashed from 1.28 million won to 170,000 won, losing nearly 90%. A positive FDA regulatory milestone (pre-NDA confirmation) triggered a limit-up move, demonstrating that deeply oversold stocks can bounce sharply on even minor good news. He believes this signals wider hope in beaten-down sectors like biotech.

Shipbuilding earnings strong, chart turning up
Korean shipbuilding stocks are showing constructive chart patterns (base-building, a potential clean rotation) and earnings are expected to remain strong. Despite good news on orders and backlog, the market has not yet recognized the momentum, creating an opportunity before the move gains traction. He highlights Samsung Heavy Industries and HD Hyundai Heavy Industries as plays.

Wait for KB Financial pullback to buy
Bank stocks like KB Financial have surged recently on defensive rotation and strong earnings, but now they are overbought and investors are already shifting out. A better entry would be after a pullback to the lower end of the recent box range (around 160,000 won for KB Financial). The current price is not a chase point.

Hyundai Mobis shows strong relative strength
Hyundai Mobis is showing exceptional relative strength in a difficult market, consolidating sideways rather than falling. This resilience suggests the stock should attract attention and outperform once sentiment improves.

Buy LIG Nex1 after Q2 earnings dip
Defense stocks (especially LIG Nex1) are fundamentally strong but may see short-term weakness into Q2 results. He advises waiting until after the Q2 earnings release to buy, as the order backlog and earnings will recover strongly from Q3 onward. LIG Nex1 has notably good consensus estimates.
