Summary

Hwang Yu-hyeon, PB Team Lead at Shinhan Investment & Securities, reviews the sharp Korean market selloff on February 6, 2026, including Samsung Electronics briefly hitting limit down. He argues the AI semiconductor cycle remains intact, favors memory leaders, semiconductor equipment/materials and related ETFs, and sees a likely short-term stabilization as foreign futures selling nears exhaustion. He also highlights space, robotics, rare earths, and autonomous driving as leading H1 themes while advising a smaller biotech weight.

  • Korean stocks plunged with Samsung Electronics hitting limit down, driven by foreign futures selling, margin calls, and risk-off sentiment.
  • Hwang expects semiconductor leadership to continue through at least Q2 earnings, favoring Samsung Electronics, SK hynix, and semiconductor equipment/materials.
  • NAND/HBF is viewed as a new memory demand driver, with Wonik IPS named as a NAND beneficiary.
  • Foreign futures selling is near a historical margin line, and pension/institutional inflows may stabilize the KOSPI next week.
  • Biotech should be underweighted until a major license-out catalyst, with profitable biopharma relatively better.
  • Aerospace/space, robotics/humanoid, rare earths/minerals, and autonomous driving are flagged as leading themes.
  • The market may shift to a stock-picking environment where individual themes outperform large-cap indices.
Ideas

Semiconductor cycle not over; memory leaders favored
AI hyperscaler capex remains intact because big tech must invest to survive, and Samsung Electronics and SK hynix are key beneficiaries. The KOSPI has risen on memory earnings growth rather than pure liquidity like in 2021, and earnings estimates are strong for 2026 with more growth expected next year. The semiconductor upcycle is not over; at minimum, investors should watch through Q2 earnings in May-July, though foreign supply/demand can slow the pace.

NAND/HBF adds new memory demand
The memory upcycle is moving from DRAM to HBM and now to NAND, with HBF creating a new demand source that adds to existing demand rather than replacing it. This creates new Q and P and a fresh momentum driver for memory makers and NAND equipment suppliers. Wonik IPS is named as a representative NAND beneficiary.

Buy semiconductor equipment and process ETFs
As memory makers expand capacity and the NAND/HBF story develops, Korean semiconductor equipment and materials companies should benefit. They already started outperforming from mid-January and were among the first to rebound from the selloff. For investors who find individual equipment stocks difficult, AI core equipment and semiconductor front-end/back-end process ETFs offer a simpler way to own the theme; today's bullish candles and long lower tails in these names signal continued interest.

Korean market likely stabilizes next week
The week's selloff was worsened by foreign futures selling and forced deleveraging, but foreign futures positioning has already moved near the historical margin line, limiting further selling. Institutional and pension fund buying is beginning to appear. With the index forming a long lower tail and panic sentiment extreme, the Korean market is likely to stabilize or rebound next week, especially if the US market calms.

Space theme remains a leading play
SpaceX/space is one of the leading global themes Musk highlighted, and the speaker expects it to remain a leading theme at least through H1. Today aerospace/space stocks were strong relative to the market, with several names posting lower tails, bullish candles, or limit-up moves. Named movers include Satrec Initiative, Kencoa Aerospace, Korea Aerospace Industries, Genohco, SPEAR, and SeAH Besteel Holdings, with SeAH Besteel possibly tied to SpaceX.

Autonomous driving among leading H1 themes
Musk highlighted autonomous driving as one of the global themes driving markets, and the speaker expects it to remain a leading theme at least through H1.

Underweight biotech; favor profitable biopharma names
The Korean bio sector's sentiment has been damaged by noise around Alteogen and ABL Bio/LigaChem, and unprofitable biotechs are now facing doubts about profitability. New money is unlikely to return until a major license-out event revives the sector, so investors should keep bio exposure small. Within bio, profitable companies like Celltrion and Hanmi Pharm are relatively better positioned.

Rare earth supply chain attractive
Robotics and humanoids will continue to require more rare earth and mineral inputs, and Korean value-chain companies such as Korea Zinc and POSCO International are attractive large-cap ways to play the rare earth/strategic minerals theme.
Hwang Yoo-hyun Private Banker Team Lead, NH Investment & Securities 22:51
Robotics rebound potential after heavy selling
Humanoid robots are among Musk's global leading themes likely to lead at least through H1. The Korean robot sector has already been heavily sold off, which creates rebound potential next week.
