Summary

Kim Kyung-hwan from Hana Securities discusses upcoming Chinese IPOs, particularly Changxin Memory, and their implications for Korean semiconductors. He views the CXMT IPO as removing uncertainty for Korean memory stocks and recommends focusing on Chinese tech indices like ChiNext and STAR 50. The host Vincent adds a bullish view on Korean memory semiconductor earnings for Q2.

  • Kim Kyung-hwan discusses three major Chinese IPOs: Changxin Memory (CXMT), YMTC, and Unitree Robotics.
  • CXMT's IPO is seen as reducing uncertainty for Korean semiconductor stocks rather than posing an immediate threat.
  • ChiNext Index is recommended for its high-ROE top holdings and expected new highs in H2 2024.
  • STAR 50 Index improves with CXMT and YMTC listings but carries high valuations.
  • Unitree's humanoid robot IPO is viewed as overhyped with weak fundamentals; better opportunities next year.

  • The US-China summit in September is considered a non-event for markets.
  • Overall, the discussion favors selective exposure to Chinese tech indices and Korean memory stocks.

STAR 50 improves, but high valuation.
The STAR 50 Index will be upgraded by the listings of Changxin Memory and YMTC, making it more representative of China's semiconductor future. Although valuations are extremely high, investors betting on China's future industries should consider the index as the composition improves and liquidity from the IPOs may support further upside.

ChiNext top 7 ROE strong, buy dips.
ChiNext Index's top 7 companies have average ROE over 30%, valuations are still 30% below 2021 highs, and the index is expected to make new all-time highs in the second half of 2024. Investors should buy on dips as the index offers exposure to high-quality Chinese capital goods, energy, and AI tech companies with strong fundamentals.

Korean memory semi Q2 surprise, buy dips.
