Summary

CEO Lee Hyeong-su argues that the AI bubble is just beginning, not ending, and that investors should focus on memory semiconductor leaders like Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, and Micron. He provides specific signals to watch for the bubble peak, including hyperscaler capex declines and memory spot price drops below contract levels. He advises against trying to time the top and recommends staying invested until those signals appear.

  • AI bubble compared to early dot-com era (1997-1998), with 1-2 years remaining.
  • Memory semiconductor demand has no ceiling due to expanding AI use cases (video, agentic, physical AI).
  • Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, and Micron are the core investment vehicles.
  • Key peak signals: hyperscaler capex turning down and spot memory prices falling below contract prices.
  • Micron stock acts as a canary for memory price declines.
  • Power shortages for data centers will likely be resolved by US deregulation.
  • The speaker rejects the idea that other sectors will take over if semiconductors falter.
  • Investors should rebalance rather than try to time the exact top.

AI memory bubble is just beginning
The AI bubble has just begun and is in its early stage, comparable to 1997-1998 before the dot-com peak. Memory semiconductor demand has no ceiling due to expanding use cases (video, agentic AI, physical AI) and unlike the internet, AI costs scale proportionally with usage. Therefore, investing in leading memory semiconductor stocks is the core play, and any pullback in the sector would be a buying opportunity until clear peak signals appear.
