Korean memory semi leaders still cheap vs earnings.
Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix have experienced a 90% rise in consensus earnings over the past three months while their stock prices have risen only 70%, resulting in extremely low forward P/E ratios of 5.8x and 5.1x respectively. Earnings are growing faster than prices, making these memory semiconductor leaders still cheap relative to their growth profile. Massive fund inflows from conservative ETF products and aggressive leveraged products are further driving demand.
