Summary

Director Lee Ju-yeon discusses Samsung Electronics' foundry orders from Meta and other tech giants, the strategy to buy Samsung on any post-earnings weakness, SK Hynix's ADR listing impact on the won, the capex boost for HBM equipment laggards like Hanmi Semiconductor and Techwing, the upcoming Canada submarine contract decision, and the US heatwave pushing power grid and renewable energy themes.

  • Samsung foundry is gaining major AI chip orders (Meta, Tesla, BYD, Anthropic) and may turn profitable soon.
  • If Samsung stock sells off after its earnings release, history suggests it will recover, making it a buying opportunity.
  • SK Hynix's Nasdaq ADR listing will trigger massive USD-to-KRW conversion, potentially sending the won sharply higher short term.
  • Memory makers' huge capex benefits HBM equipment stocks like Hanmi Semiconductor and Techwing, which have lagged front-end peers.
  • Canada's submarine award (sole or split) is a make-or-break event for Hanwha Ocean and HD Hyundai Heavy Industries.
  • A US heatwave and power emergency highlights the need for grid upgrades and renewables, setting up a second-half rotation trade.

Samsung foundry turnaround fueled by AI orders.
Samsung Electronics' foundry business is turning around as major tech firms including Meta, Tesla, BYD, and Anthropic adopt Samsung's 2nm process for AI accelerators, overcoming previous weakness. The order backlog is approaching 50 trillion won, and the division could swing to profit as early as Q3 2024, positioning Samsung as a key AI chip manufacturing hub.

Short USD/KRW on ADR conversion flows.
SK Hynix's massive ADR listing this week will raise about 45 trillion won, and a large portion will be converted from USD to KRW. The conversion amount likely exceeds daily spot turnover, potentially causing a sudden drop in USD/KRW. This short-term won appreciation is positive for Korea's external environment.

HBM equipment laggards to catch up.
Global memory makers are in a massive capex cycle, with Micron adding a 14 trillion won HBM plant in Hiroshima. Equipment orders will surge, but HBM-related equipment stocks like Hanmi Semiconductor and Techwing have not rallied as much as front-end equipment names, creating catch-up potential as supply tightness persists until 2028.
Lee Ju-hyeon Director, Xangle 18:41
Watch Canada submarine award for Hanwha Ocean.
Canada's 60 trillion won submarine contract decision is imminent (before NATO summit). If Korea wins all 12 vessels alone, it would be a major catalyst for Hanwha Ocean and HD Hyundai Heavy Industries. A split order would disappoint, but the outcome is a critical event to monitor given discounted shipbuilding stock prices.
Lee Ju-hyeon Director, Xangle 24:09
Long power grid and renewables on US heatwave.
A US heatwave triggered a power emergency with electricity prices spiking 60x and record demand. This highlights the urgent need for grid investment and additional energy sources. Rotations into power infrastructure, solar, and wind are expected to continue through the second half.
