Summary

Kwon Soon-woo, 3PRO TV reporting team leader, reviews the latest market news. He argues Nvidia and Korean memory names are undervalued or supported by custom AI chip demand, Hyundai Motor's investor day supports a strong autonomous vehicle and production story, and Korean renewable and industrial names such as Hanwha Solutions and LS Electric have company-specific upside. He also discusses OpenAI's custom chip as a positive for HBM suppliers and downplays Chinese memory competition as noise.

  • Nvidia earnings beat strongly but the market reaction was muted; the speaker calls Nvidia still cheap.
  • Korean memory semiconductor companies could follow Nvidia's pattern and may not need to rest yet.
  • OpenAI's custom chip Jalapeno likely uses Samsung HBM4, boosting Korean HBM demand and pricing power.
  • Hyundai Motor's investor day highlighted 2030 targets, Nvidia-based autonomous driving, production expansion, and shareholder return.
  • YMTC's NAND market-share target is dismissed as IPO valuation noise.
  • Regional electricity rate reform and Korea's renewable capacity expansion plan were discussed as backdrops.
  • Hanwha Solutions' US solar plant is now producing, supporting fundamental valuation.
  • LS Electric's HVDC collaboration with GE Vernova signals Korean industrial leadership.
Ideas

Nvidia remains cheap despite strong earnings
Nvidia's earnings rose roughly 100% YoY versus a 96% expected increase, and the stock is still very cheap because high future expectations are not being fully reflected in its valuation. The market is not cheering as much as the results warrant, but Nvidia can continue higher or consolidate at higher levels.

Hyundai's targets and autonomy support upside
Hyundai Motor's investor day outlined aggressive 2030 goals: 100 new models, 5.55 million global sales, a 9%+ operating margin, expanded local production in North America, India, and Korea, and Nvidia-based Level 2+ autonomous vehicles by 2028. Its large vehicle fleet can collect more autonomous driving data than Tesla by 2033, and Hyundai announced 35% shareholder return, a 10,000-won dividend, and an 800 billion won treasury share cancellation.

Custom AI chip competition boosts Korean HBM
OpenAI's custom chip Jalapeno likely uses Samsung HBM4, and the widening custom AI chip push by OpenAI, Amazon, Broadcom, and Google means more customers need HBM. Since Samsung and SK hynix are among the only suppliers, this strengthens Korean memory makers' pricing power and supports HBM sales.

Hanwha US solar output now supports valuation
Hanwha's US solar panel plant has resolved production delays and is now running at nearly full capacity. US panel prices are diverging from Chinese prices, and with actual US production and earnings now visible, investors can value the company on fundamentals rather than expectations, supporting a sturdier stock after import crackdowns.

LS Electric now leads in HVDC
LS Electric's HVDC business is now collaborating with GE Vernova, a company that previously would not partner with it. This is framed as evidence that Korean industrial and electrical equipment companies are transitioning from order-takers to leaders, and it is named as one of the good corporate news items supporting Korean equities.
