Has the bottom been confirmed? Rebound target is 6500! | Park Byeong-chang, MP Partners CEO [Market Inside]

Summary

Park Byeong-chang, CEO of MP Partners, argues that the KOSPI index has bottomed at 5,400 after a historic drop, pointing to a sharp rebound with a first target of 6,500. He stresses that Samsung Electronics and SK hynix must deliver double-digit gains to confirm the low and highlights extreme oversold conditions in semiconductor equipment stocks as a source of explosive upside. He also flags shipbuilding names rising on shareholder return talk, Hyundai Motor’s potential mean-reversion rally, and Samsung Electro-Mechanics benefiting from MLCC price hikes. The session focuses heavily on reading the snapback’s strength and breadth as signals for the recovery’s durability.

• KOSPI plunged to 5,400, which the speaker labels a potential bottom; the initial rebound target is 6,500, retracing to the broken support level.
• Samsung Electronics and SK hynix are expected to rebound strongly in double digits, driven by institutional buying, short-covering, and the signal effect of the SK Group chairman’s share purchase.
• Semiconductor equipment and materials names have fallen 50–60% and must skyrocket to restore confidence; a weak rebound would be a negative sign.
• Shipbuilding stocks (HD Hyundai Heavy, Hanwha Ocean, Samsung Heavy) are rallying on strengthened earnings recognition and corporate shareholder return initiatives.
• Hyundai Motor, down 55% from its peak, is positioned for a sharp snapback as the pattern of steep decliners rebounding first plays out.
• Samsung Electro-Mechanics received a positive catalyst with a 30% MLCC price increase and long-term supply agreements with top-tier semiconductor firms.
• The speaker emphasizes that the speed and breadth of the rebound are critical: an explosive rally in the most beaten-down names would lock in the bottom, whereas a sluggish bounce risks renewed selling.
