Ideas
Joon-hyuk Analyst 21:02
Negative funding signals Bitcoin upside.
Negative funding rates have persisted for over 70 days on Bitcoin perpetual futures, indicating extreme bearish positioning. Historically, such prolonged negative funding has preceded significant upward moves when liquidity conditions improve. The current macro backdrop of AI capex expansion and potential liquidity injection could act as a trigger. This contrarian setup suggests a long entry when funding is negative.
Choi Ho Vice President 29:06
S&P 500 to reach 8300.
Morgan Stanley's S&P 500 target of 8300 is based on forward EPS of $404 and a P/E of 20.5x. The bull market is driven by strong earnings momentum from AI capex and operational leverage, not multiple expansion. Earnings revisions have accelerated, with 2025 EPS growth expected above 20%. The speaker endorses this relatively conservative but constructive view.
Choi Ho Vice President 35:13
AMAT earnings acceleration, strong guidance.
Applied Materials reported a strong earnings beat and guidance well above consensus, with next-quarter revenue growth guided to 22.6% and EPS growth to 35.5% YoY. Operating leverage is improving as semiconductor equipment demand accelerates in H2. The company holds leadership in advanced logic, DRAM, and advanced packaging, underpinned by long-term AI infrastructure buildout.
Park Se-ik CEO, ex-Chief Strategist 86:58
Samyang Foods undervalued, strong export growth.
Samyang Foods has a powerful global brand (Buldak noodles), expanding capacity at Miryang and China plants, and strong export growth. Revenue is projected to increase from 1.7tn to 3.5tn. At 17x forward earnings, valuation is cheap relative to growth. The speaker believes the stock is undervalued and offers long-term compounding opportunity similar to global consumer staples.
