Ideas

Samsung Epis Holdings is undervalued versus Celltrion
Samsung Epis Holdings looks undervalued relative to Celltrion on 2025-26 revenue and operating-profit estimates, and its holding structure includes not just biosimilars but also a new-drug development arm whose pipeline value is reflected by comparable KOSDAQ biotech valuations. The speaker remains positive from an investment perspective, citing the Samsung system/CEO premium and potential multiple re-rating, while warning that short-term index-inclusion trading may create volatility.

Gold structurally supported despite higher volatility
Gold and stocks are now rising together, breaking the traditional negative correlation; the gold/S&P 500 correlation rose to 0.77 last year from 0.02 in 2021. The speaker attributes this to global liquidity expansion, aggressive emerging-market central bank gold buying, gold ETF inflows, and Chinese retail demand, and notes experts see higher volatility and the start of a commodity supercycle.

Korean semiconductors benefit from AI capex
Big Tech's aggressive, partly debt-funded AI infrastructure spending is a positive for Korean semiconductors. The speaker highlights Alphabet's 100-year bond issue and more than $650bn of Big Tech capex, then points to semiconductor supercycle evidence: intensifying talent competition, record Korean exports led by chips, IT parts exports up 20%, and top-10 export concentration near 40%.

Korean banks remain undervalued and supported
Hana Securities maintains an overweight on Korean banks and raised target prices for all bank holding companies. Korean banks trade at only 0.69x PBR versus 1.6x for Japanese banks and above 2x for Taiwanese banks despite similar ROE, so the move is seen as valuation normalization rather than full re-rating. Policy momentum from the commercial law amendment and a bank-led won stablecoin consortium could help, while low valuation and dividends provide downside protection if the market becomes unstable.
