Summary

The market is currently experiencing rapid sector rotation rather than broad expansion, making it dangerous to chase surging stocks. Investors are advised to buy strong stocks on pullbacks and monitor battered sectors with emerging catalysts. Key areas of interest include Korean semiconductor equipment stocks showing resilience and robotics stocks receiving momentum from government procurement plans.

  • SK hynix is benefiting from its indirect stake in Kioxia and the resumption of Solidigm's Dalian plant.
  • Korean semiconductor equipment stocks have undergone significant corrections and are poised for a rebound.
  • Chasing strong stocks is risky in a rotating market; buying on pullbacks is recommended.
  • Government plans to purchase humanoid and quadruped robots provide crucial momentum for the robotics sector.
  • The US SEC's exemption for data center ABS issuance highlights strong regulatory support for the AI hypercycle.
  • Diverging target prices for major stocks like SK hynix reflect differing views on the memory cycle.

NAND market improvements strengthen SK hynix's business position.
SK hynix is seeing positive momentum from the NAND market, driven by its special purpose company securing a 14.19% stake in Kioxia and the resumption of Solidigm's Dalian plant operations. These developments strengthen its strategic position in the NAND business and justify its recent ADR strength.

Buy strong stocks on pullbacks during rotations.
The current market environment is characterized by rapid sector rotation rather than broad market expansion. In this regime, chasing stocks that are already surging often leads to losses. Investors should instead identify strong stocks and wait to buy them during pullbacks.

US regulatory support sustains AI infrastructure investments.
Concerns over massive AI capital expenditures triggering a financial system crisis are mitigated by US regulatory actions. The SEC's decision to exempt data center ABS issuance from risk retention rules demonstrates a strong commitment to supporting the AI hypercycle, prioritizing AI industry competitiveness over traditional financial system stability.
