Summary

Director Lee Ju-yeon discusses market impact of Trump's Hormuz transit fee proposal, Meta's $50B AI data center expansion, Korean government's nuclear and power plans, Samsung Bioepis's SC technology and Alteogen, and record foreign tourist consumption benefiting consumer stocks.

  • Trump’s 20% fee on Hormuz shipments spooks oil markets but is seen as negotiation bluff; refining stocks gain from lubricant shortage
  • Meta expands Louisiana data center investment to $50B, boosting Korean AI infrastructure and semiconductor equipment stocks
  • Government reviews new nuclear reactors and SMRs to meet AI power demand; Vietnam nuclear order could provide momentum
  • Samsung Bioepis’s SC technology success rattles Alteogen but limited impact due to Alteogen’s distinct patent protection until 2040s
  • Foreign tourist spending hits record high; department stores, K-beauty ODM companies, and entertainment stocks like Hybe benefit
Ideas

Lubricant shortage boosts refining earnings.
Refining stocks S-Oil, GS, SK Innovation benefit from a global lubricant shortage caused by a Qatar Shell plant outage due to war, with lubricant prices doubling in H1. The recovery will take at least a year, so premium lubricant earnings can offset any weakening in crude oil refining margins, supporting further stock upside.

Nuclear power revival supports Korean nuclear stocks.
The Korean government’s 12th electricity basic plan will officially review building additional nuclear reactors and SMRs to secure stable power for AI megaprojects. Combined with a potential Vietnam nuclear power order by Team Korea in Q3, nuclear power stocks get a policy and order momentum catalyst while current prices are depressed.

Alteogen patent protects against SC competition.
Alteogen’s sell-off on Samsung Bioepis’s SC technology success is overdone because the two technologies are fundamentally different; Alteogen’s distinct active ingredient and manufacturing process are protected by US exclusivity patents until the early 2040s. The real competitive impact is very limited, making the dip a buying opportunity.
Lee Ju-hyeon Director, Xangle 21:51
Foreign tourist spending lifts consumer stocks.
Foreign tourist spending in Korea is hitting all-time highs, with H1 revenue surging 120% YoY and annual sales on track to exceed 1 trillion won for the first time. This directly benefits department stores like Shinsegae, K-beauty ODM leaders Kolmar and Cosmax, and undervalued entertainment stocks like Hybe, which are bottoming out despite unchanged earnings momentum.
