Summary

In this urgent market update, CEO Kim Min-soo of Lemon Research analyzes the recent plunge that triggered massive retail selling. He argues the bottom has been confirmed and investors should hold. He warns against domestic leveraged ETFs, highlights SK hynix ADR as a better leveraged vehicle, and identifies semiconductor equipment, power equipment, shipbuilding, defense, and nuclear as oversold sectors to buy. He also recommends avoiding biotech and optical communication stocks.

  • Market bottom confirmed; KOSPI and KOSDAQ should be held for recovery.
  • Avoid domestic 2x leveraged ETFs due to volatility decay; hold spot shares instead.
  • SK hynix ADR offers a superior way to gain leveraged exposure.
  • Semiconductor equipment/materials is the leading sector for the rebound.
  • Korean biotech is untrustworthy and should be sold on rebounds, including HLB.
  • Power equipment (LS Electric, HD Hyundai Electric, Gaon Cable) is a strong long-term buy on oversold levels.
  • Shipbuilding (HD Hyundai Heavy Industries), defense (Hanwha Aerospace), and nuclear (Doosan Enerbility) are all oversold opportunities.
  • Optical communication plays in Korea are unattractive; Daehan Gwangtongsin should be trimmed at resistance.
Ideas
Market bottom confirmed, hold Korean equities.
The market has confirmed a bottom after an excessive and unjustified drop, especially in KOSDAQ. Supply and demand are improving as foreigners buy back and individual investors will return. The recovery is starting, with KOSDAQ likely to rebound to 850, 900, and eventually 975–1000 points. Investors should hold positions.
Avoid domestic leveraged ETFs, hold spot.
In a non-V-shaped recovery, domestic 2x leveraged ETFs suffer from negative compounding and volatility decay, eroding returns. It is better to hold the underlying spot shares directly than to try to recover losses with leverage. Avoid using domestic leveraged ETFs.
Use SK hynix ADR for leverage.
If an investor insists on using leverage, the newly listed SK hynix ADR (and its coming leveraged product) in the US provides a better vehicle than domestic leveraged ETFs, offering better return potential and less decay.
Semiconductor equipment leads the rebound.
The semiconductor equipment and materials (소부장) sector is the key leader that will drive the market rebound. It has suffered but is now turning and should be the focus for positioning.
Avoid Korean biotech, sell on rebounds.
The Korean biotech sector has lost market credibility due to repeated FDA setbacks (e.g., HLB's third rejection, Peptron's uncertainty). High uncertainty and low reward mean the sector is not participating in this rebound; sell on strength.
Exit HLB on any rebound.
HLB faces its third FDA rejection, creating deep uncertainty and little hope for approval. The stock should be sold on any bounce.
Avoid Korean optical communication stocks.
Korean optical communication stocks lack meaningful exposure to the key NVIDIA silicon photonics theme. For this sector, investing in US-listed plays is a better choice, so avoid Korean ones.
Sell Daehan Gwangtongsin at resistance.
Daehan Gwangtongsin has led the optical communication rally but faces strong resistance around 15,000–16,000 won. Holdings should be reduced into strength.
Power equipment oversold, buy opportunity.
Power equipment stocks like LS Electric, HD Hyundai Electric, and Gaon Cable were oversold amid panic. Long-term demand is strong from AI data center buildouts and massive replacement cycles, making current prices a clear buying opportunity.
Buy HD Hyundai Heavy, foreigners accumulating.
HD Hyundai Heavy Industries has fallen sharply, but foreigners have been consistently buying the dips. The stock should recover to previous levels as supply/demand normalizes.
Buy Hanwha Aerospace on dip.
Hanwha Aerospace declined after delaying earnings recognition due to a one-time accident cost at its Daejeon plant. This is a temporary setback; the stock will recover as the underlying business remains strong.
Buy Doosan Enerbility, oversold with SMR.
Doosan Enerbility was unjustly oversold. Nuclear energy is reviving, SMR projects are gaining momentum, and global orders are expected. The stock should rebound strongly.
