Summary

Kim Dong-yeop, CEO of S1 Investment Research, analyzes the explosive KOSPI rally led by Samsung Electronics, SK hynix, and Samsung Electro-Mechanics, driven by FOMO and strong AI earnings expectations. He discusses the looming 50 trillion won NPS sell-off and potential rotation into their holding companies. He highlights US naval shipbuilding orders for the Korean shipbuilding sector, power infrastructure plays (LS Electric, Hyosung Heavy), and defensive bank/insurance stocks amid rate hikes. He also makes a contrarian bullish call on KOSDAQ via a leveraged ETF, seeing capitulation near a bottom.

  • KOSPI surge driven by extreme concentration in Samsung Electronics, SK hynix, and Samsung Electro-Mechanics.
  • National Pension Service may need to sell up to 50 trillion won in equities from July, especially the large-cap semiconductor stocks.
  • Rotation observed into Samsung C&T, Samsung Life, SK Inc., and SK Square as alternative plays holding semiconductor stakes.
  • Shipbuilding sector boosted by the US Investment Special Law and direct US Navy ship orders.
  • Power infrastructure companies LS Electric and Hyosung Heavy Industries to benefit from AI infrastructure demand and new ETF launches.
  • Rising interest rates support bank and insurance stocks as a defensive allocation.
  • KOSDAQ deep sell-off seen as capitulation; Kim suggests a contrarian long via KOSDAQ Leverage ETF (233740.KQ).
  • Middle East reconstruction theme could lift Korean construction and machinery stocks if the US-Iran nuclear deal is finalized.
Ideas
Kim Dong-yeop CEO, Decenter 1:39
Core semiconductor trio undervalued, strong growth momentum.
Samsung Electronics, SK hynix, and Samsung Electro-Mechanics form the core market leadership. Despite sharp price rises, they remain undervalued relative to explosive earnings growth forecasts – memory market reaching 100 trillion won, combined operating profit exceeding 600 trillion won, with Samsung alone projected to earn 620–670 trillion won in coming years. FOMO and foreign buying continue to push these three stocks, and the short-term momentum is expected to persist at least through the end of June, with the market likely to test higher levels.

Holding companies benefit if major semis correct.
When Samsung Electronics and SK hynix face selling pressure or correction, investors rotate into the holding companies that own large stakes in those semiconductor giants. Stocks such as Samsung C&T, Samsung Life, SK Inc., and SK Square have shown relative strength amid such flows, offering an alternative way to participate in the semiconductor value chain while the core stocks consolidate.

Hyundai Motor dip-buy on strike resolution.
Hyundai Motor faces a union strike vote on the 25th, creating uncertainty. However, past patterns show that even if a strike occurs, it eventually gets resolved, and the resulting dip presents a buying opportunity to target a rebound once the labor issue is settled.

Shipbuilding stocks surge on US Navy orders.
The US Investment Special Law has taken effect, and President Trump has directly asked Korea to rapidly build naval ships, creating a concrete catalyst for the shipbuilding sector. Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) business expansion further supports the outlook, and official project announcements may come as early as the following week.
Korean Shipbuilding Stocks HIGH

Power infrastructure stocks rise on AI, ETFs.
Power infrastructure equipment companies like LS Electric and Hyosung Heavy Industries are beneficiaries of expanding AI data center infrastructure. Additionally, new ETFs focusing on power equipment and battery-related stocks are set to launch, which should direct fresh inflows into these names and support their upward momentum.

Banks and insurance defensive amid rate hikes.
With the U.S. adopting a hawkish rate stance and the Bank of Korea highly likely to hike rates in July, the interest rate upcycle favors bank and insurance stocks. They serve as a defensive allocation in a market where narrow leadership may become exhausted.

Construction stocks gain from Middle East rebuild.
If the US-Iran nuclear deal is finalized and signed, a Middle East reconstruction market estimated at around 90 trillion won will open, providing significant opportunities for Korean construction and construction machinery companies to participate in rebuilding efforts.

KOSDAQ Leverage ETF contrarian bottom bet.
KOSDAQ has suffered frequent 3–4% daily drops, and sentiment has reached extreme pessimism with calls to abolish the market. Kim believes the market is near the climax of a severe sell-off, possibly marking a bottom around the 900–950 level, and that a bold contrarian position using a leveraged ETF could yield outsized returns as a reversal unfolds.
