  • Hyundai Motor is cited for a potential physical AI leadership boost from an AI talent hire.
  • Korean Air and ABL Bio are noted for earnings and pipeline positives.
  • Entertainment and cosmetics stocks lag despite some positive earnings and comeback news, raising rotation questions.
  • The speaker favors ETFs for fast rotation and says USD/KRW is unlikely to stabilize easily.
Ideas

Nuclear demand supports Doosan Enerbility.
Doosan Enerbility is rising as Korea faces electricity shortages and growing calls to build new nuclear plants, supporting the nuclear power equipment theme even without company-specific news.

AI chip demand remains strong.
AI semiconductor demand remains solid, as confirmed by TSMC's strong results and more than $50 billion capex plan; high-end chip demand is strong enough that TSMC can raise prices without damaging profits. The speaker also expects SK hynix's upcoming earnings and sees money flowing into Samsung Electronics, supporting Korean memory semis.

Hyundai Motor gains physical AI leader.
Hyundai Motor Group hired a former Tesla AI expert who led humanoid robot and camera-vision autonomous driving work, which could help Hyundai Motor leap forward as a physical AI leader by expanding from vehicle AI into robot AI.

Korean Air earnings surprise despite oil.
Korean Air reported an earnings surprise and defended well despite high oil prices, which are normally a negative for airline stocks, suggesting stronger-than-expected earnings resilience.

Nuclear margin recovery lifts KEPCO E&C.
KEPCO E&C is expected to continue its earnings recovery because its high-margin nuclear business is structurally recovering after a weak first half last year; third-quarter results were strong and the fourth-quarter outlook remains positive.

ABL Bio pipeline gets FDA fast track.
ABL Bio has positive pipeline news: its biliary tract cancer treatment ABL00 is being commercialized, royalties are expected next year, and the FDA designated it for fast-track review, raising the chance of faster approval.

BTS concert catalyst not priced in.
HYBE's BTS comeback and large concert, reportedly worth over KRW 1 trillion if sold out, have not been fully reflected in the share price, giving the stock a potential catalyst from strong ticket power.

Korean equities are not too late.
KOSPI is near 5,000 but is not as overextended as past multi-year bull markets; bank deposits are moving into equities due to low deposit rates and FOMO, and value-up-driven share cancellations are turning net share supply negative, so entering Korean equities is not too late.

Use ETFs in fast rotation.
Because sector rotation is so fast that themes can change within a day, using ETFs is a reasonable way to avoid single-stock timing risk; among non-leveraged one-year performers, TIGER K Defense/Space and other easy-to-understand defense, shipbuilding, and materials ETFs ranked highest.

USD/KRW likely stays elevated.
The dollar-won exchange rate is unlikely to stabilize easily; the speaker notes it is already elevated around 1,473.70 and rising, implying continued pressure on the Korean won.
