Summary

Park Se-ik reviews August 25 market news and viewer comments, covering Samsung Electronics' disappointing shareholder return, China memory threats, LG Household & Health Care's Avon sale, Hanmi Pharm's obesity-drug licensing deal, and Samsung SDI's stake sale. He argues for a Korean market correction followed by a year-end bull market, and highlights specific positive setups in LG H&H, Hanmi Pharm, Samsung Electronics, and Samsung SDI. He also outlines a systematic panic-buying strategy for Korean index ETFs.

  • Korean market seen correcting into mid-September before a new bull market from year-end or early next year.
  • Panic-selloff strategy: buy KODEX 200 and KOSDAQ 150 only during extreme fear and exit after 26% gains.
  • LG Household & Health Care's Avon sale viewed as clearing a loss-making unit, with a constructive chart setup.
  • Hanmi Pharm's muscle-preserving obesity candidate validated by Genentech licensing deal.
  • Samsung Electronics near-term disappointment but potential fourfold buyback expansion seen supporting the stock.
  • Samsung SDI's Samsung Display stake sale viewed as positive funding for North America ESS growth.
  • Jackson Hole and China memory supply risks noted as sentiment and volatility items.
Ideas

Correction then year-end Korean bull market
After the June-July 2025 entry points trapped late buyers, the Korean market may need to shake out those weak hands into mid-September; Park expects a new strong bull market to begin around year-end or early next year once that correction finishes.

Buy Korean index ETFs in panics
Park describes a systematic panic-buying strategy, modeled on a proposed Chesley stabilization fund: stay out of Korean equities normally, deploy into KODEX 200 and KOSDAQ 150 only during panic selloffs such as tariff shocks, war, or KOSPI 5,500 breaks, and exit when the position gains 26%; he says similar panic entries have produced 30%+ returns.

LG H&H turnaround setup looks attractive
LG Household & Health Care's Avon sale at about 5% of the acquisition cost removes a loss-making non-core business and lets management focus on fast-growing own brands in North America; Park adds that the chart has turned constructive, with the monthly 20-month moving average broken for the first time since 2021, a weekly cup-handle pattern, and decent foreign flows, so it is worth holding.

Hanmi muscle-preserving obesity drug positive
Hanmi Pharm's HM17321 is a differentiated obesity candidate using the UCN2/CRF2 pathway to reduce fat while preserving or increasing muscle, and Genentech's license deal of up to $2.3 billion validates the mechanism; Park notes the drug could be especially meaningful for elderly and sarcopenic patients and calls it a major milestone for Hanmi Pharm.

Samsung buyback expansion supports higher stock
Despite the near-term shareholder-return disappointment, Park interprets analyst Kim Dong-won's calculation that the next three-year plan could expand buybacks more than fourfold versus 2024-2026; if the prior stock price was fair around 70,000 won, that implies roughly 280,000 won, so Samsung Electronics should be supported as the January three-year plan announcement approaches.

Samsung SDI stake sale funds growth
Samsung SDI's sale of a 5% Samsung Display stake for about 4.45 trillion won provides funding for North American battery and ESS capacity expansion; Park says selling a non-core holding to raise investment capital is a significantly positive catalyst for shareholders, with ESS positioned as a new growth axis from AI data-center power demand.
