Korean semis deeply undervalued vs peers.
Korean semiconductor stocks (Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix) are deeply undervalued compared to global peers like NVIDIA (24x) and TSMC (25x), trading at only 6-7x forward earnings. AI memory demand from HBM and agentic AI is surging, while foreign selling has been mechanical due to MSCI weight limits rather than fundamental deterioration. This valuation gap and structural demand create a compelling buying opportunity.
