Summary

In a market correction driven by foreign selling and leverage unwinding, CEO Yu Chang-hee advises holding SK Hynix and Korean semiconductor equipment stocks. He believes the selloff is not fundamentally driven; financials are stable, and external conditions are improving, so KOSPI could recover to new highs. He also discusses new leveraged ETF regulations and their potential impact.

  • KOSPI fell 6% with heavy foreign and institutional selling while retail buying surged.
  • Yu maintains his buy-on-dips stance on SK Hynix and a 50% allocation to semiconductor materials/parts/equipment stocks.
  • He views the selloff as liquidity-driven, not systemic, because bank and insurance stocks remain resilient.
  • External conditions are improving: the won is stabilizing, the U.S. Federal Reserve is likely to pause rate hikes, and oil prices are manageable.
  • He expects KOSPI to eventually retest all-time highs, possibly by year-end or early next year.
  • New regulations on leveraged ETFs – higher margin requirements and a larger minimum trading unit – may reduce speculative volatility but will take time to take effect.
  • Yu cautions that sector rotation might occur, but no new market leadership has clearly emerged yet.
Ideas
Hold Korean semiconductor equipment stocks.
Yu retains a 50% allocation to Korean semiconductor materials, parts, and equipment stocks (소부장). He notes that this segment has outperformed during the recent market decline, confirming its relative strength, and believes it continues to benefit from the ongoing global semiconductor capital expenditure cycle.
Buy SK Hynix on dips, hold.
Yu maintains a buy-on-dips stance on SK Hynix. He argues the recent 20% drop is broad market-driven, not company-specific, and that foreign rebalancing-led selling should ease as prices have fallen back to levels where the initial overweight triggered outflows. He sees the memory semiconductor cycle intact, external conditions improving (won stabilizing, U.S. rate pause likely), and is willing to add further on weakness.
KOSPI will recover to all-time highs.
Yu argues the KOSPI selloff is driven by short-term supply/demand distortions – foreign forced rebalancing and leveraged ETF unwinding – rather than systemic or fundamental deterioration. Financial stocks (banks, insurers) are resilient, external conditions are improving (stable won, likely Fed pause, manageable oil), and historical analogues such as the 2018 trade war selloff suggest markets can recover to new highs. He expects KOSPI to return to 8,000–9,000 and potentially reach its prior all-time high later this year or early next.
