Summary

The video reviews US and Korean markets, focusing on memory semiconductor cycle risks (SpaceX IPO, leveraged ETF listing, CXMT listing). Detailed analysis of ARM, Astera Labs, Jeju Semiconductor, and Samsung Electro-Mechanics is presented. A quant strategy discussion proposes long-term holding of top monthly picks. The session ends with weekly stock picks from multiple analysts.

  • US markets reached new highs with broadening beyond M7 into industrials, financials, and semiconductors.
  • Three 'New Kids on the Block' (SpaceX IPO, leveraged ETF, CXMT listing) are analyzed as risks to memory cycle but deemed manageable.
  • ARM and Astera Labs are highlighted as strong AI infrastructure plays with solid earnings and expansion.
  • Jeju Semiconductor and Samsung Electro-Mechanics are identified as Korean beneficiaries of semiconductor shortages and AI hardware demand.
  • A guest presents a quant strategy based on Jo Jae-han's monthly picks, suggesting long-term holding of top stocks for superior returns.
  • Analysts provide their weekly top picks including Intel, Lumentum, LS, LG Electronics, and SK Square.
Trade Ideas
CPU expansion into AI data centers.
ARM's CPU architecture is expanding from mobile into data centers and AI servers, driven by AI agentic AI requiring more CPU coordination, NVIDIA's Grace and Vera CPUs being ARM-based, and ARM's own AI CPU strategy targeting $15B revenue by 2031.
AI server connectivity chip demand rising.
Astera Labs benefits from increasing AI server internal connectivity demand: PCIe retimers, CXL switches, and the new Scorpio X-series fabric switch for GPU clusters, with strong earnings guidance and early sampling.
Hamburger Analyst 105:16
LPDR monopoly amid HBM shift.
Jeju Semiconductor has a near-monopoly in LPDDR memory as Samsung and SK Hynix focus on HBM and AI infrastructure, creating a supply shortage in mobile/IoT/automotive, and its Cancellim scores show strong earnings momentum.
Hamburger Analyst 107:51
MLCC and FCBGA growth story.
Samsung Electro-Mechanics benefits from AI hardware expansion via MLCC price hikes, FCBGA substrate demand doubling with NVIDIA's Rubin transition, and new silicon capacitor business, with strong Cancellim scores.
Yuri Pro Analyst 158:59
CPU key in AI infrastructure.
Intel is a key CPU player in AI infrastructure as AI servers require more CPU cores, and the stock rose 10% last week without specific news, suggesting further upside potential.
Rest week suggests rebound.
Lumentum rested last week and may rebound this week, continuing its previous momentum.
Imgamdok Analyst 162:11
Next week pick, momentum.
LS (likely LS Electric) is a short-term momentum pick for the coming week.
Taebok Analyst 168:57
Breakout pullback, rebound expected.
LG Electronics broke its annual high, then pulled back with the market, but staged a strong rebound to an upper limit, and the chart pattern (doji after limit-up) is favored by traders for further upside.
Shinbujang Analyst 171:51
Proxy for Hynix, ETF event.
SK Square is a proxy for SK Hynix and may benefit from the upcoming leveraged ETF listing for Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, as institutions are buying the proxy.
