Summary

CEO Jo Jin-pyo discusses the recent Korean market crash, attributing it to supply and demand issues like leverage unwinding rather than fundamental economic weakness. He advises investors to avoid leverage, maintain cash reserves, and use fractional buying to acquire fundamentally strong, undervalued stocks. Furthermore, he highlights a shift in market leadership from semiconductors to sectors like secondary batteries, biotech, and financials.

  • The recent market crash was driven by leverage and AI fund liquidations, not poor corporate fundamentals.
  • KOSPI's forward P/E is historically low at around 5.5x, presenting a strong buying opportunity.
  • Investors are advised to avoid leverage and single-stock leverage ETFs to survive market volatility.
  • Market leadership is rotating from semiconductors into secondary batteries, biotech, and financials.
  • Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix need time to consolidate after pricing in long-term expectations too quickly.
  • Good stocks can be identified by low price-to-sales, low price-to-earnings, and low price-to-book ratios.
Ideas
KOSPI is historically cheap and will recover.
The KOSPI is trading at historically low valuations with a forward P/E of around 5.5x, which is cheaper than during the 2008 financial crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic. The recent market crash was driven by supply and demand factors, such as leverage unwinding and AI fund issues, rather than fundamental weakness. The index is expected to consolidate and then follow a step-by-step upward trend, likely reaching its previous highs within a year.
Capital rotating into batteries, biotech, and financials.
Market leadership is shifting away from the heavy concentration in the semiconductor sector. Foreign capital is now rotating into secondary batteries, pharmaceuticals and biotechnology, and the financial sector. This trend of liquidity moving into high-quality stocks across these alternative sectors is expected to continue.
Semiconductor stocks need time to consolidate gains.
Although long-term profit forecasts for Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix are being upgraded for 2027 and 2028, their recent stock price surges priced in these future expectations too rapidly. These semiconductor stocks now require a period of cooling down and consolidation to digest the overly high short-term expectations before they can resume a gradual upward trajectory.
