Trade Ideas
Lee Kwon-hee CEO, Economist 1:56
Buy LS Electric on pullback
Lee initially underestimated LS Electric but now sees the switchboard business for data centers is much larger than expected. He recommends buying on the current pullback as a good entry point, and also notes the potential for a stock split catalyst similar to LS Corp.
Lee Kwon-hee CEO, Economist 2:06
LS Corp is proxy for subsidiaries
LS Corp benefits from strong subsidiaries like LS Cable and Daehan Cable. If Daehan Cable is too expensive, buying LS Corp is a good proxy. The stock is accumulating momentum.
Lee Kwon-hee CEO, Economist 2:29
Sanil Electric oversold rebound play
Sanil Electric makes specialized transformers for renewable energy (solar, fuel cells, wind) and data centers. The stock has pulled back and is oversold, but the company's unique product positioning and strong end-market demand make it a good rebound candidate.
Lee Kwon-hee CEO, Economist 6:10
Power equipment sector structural shortage
Korean power equipment stocks are in a structural shortage driven by data center demand and grid modernization. The sector will continue to see demand, and investors should accumulate on pullbacks and use rebalancing strategies.
Lee Kwon-hee CEO, Economist 7:33
Hyosung Heavy strong US play, split catalyst
Hyosung Heavy Industries has the best US market response for ultra-high voltage transformers (765kV) and is likely to benefit from a stock split catalyst, similar to what LS Electric experienced. It is a core holding for the power equipment theme.
Lee Kwon-hee CEO, Economist 15:47
OCI Holdings undervalued solar play
OCI Holdings is undervalued (PBR 1.3x, forward PE 18x) despite strong growth from solar installations and China exclusion. The stock is a buy on the current pullback given its positioning in the renewable energy supply chain.
Lee Kwon-hee CEO, Economist 20:54
Doosan Enerbility oversold SMR rebound
Doosan Enerbility is oversold and poised for a rebound as SMR projects accelerate late 2026 or early 2027. SMR is the optimal power source for data centers, and Doosan is a key beneficiary.
