Trade Ideas
Park Se-ik 24:10
ARM pricing in growth; monitor execution.
ARM Holdings trades at a very high valuation (100x forward P/E) reflecting substantial expectations for its data center CPU growth. The actual revenue and royalty outturn needs to be monitored to justify the price; execution risk is high.
ARM MED
Choi Ho 75:00
Lithium price trend drives LNF upside.
LNF is a beneficiary of rising lithium prices, with strong sales to Tesla, high-nickel cathode mix, and supply constraints. Direction over valuation is key; the stock offers upside as the lithium price trend continues upward.
LNF MED
Park Se-ik 80:00
Watch CATL for battery sector direction.
CATL as the global leader in batteries sets the trend for the secondary battery sector; its price action signals the broader direction and should be watched as a bellwether.
CATL LOW
Choi Ho 95:00
Samsung preferred over SK Hynix.
Memory semiconductors (Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix) are undervalued relative to their structural earnings power due to AI-driven demand transformation. Low P/E ratios are not a value trap but reflect a re-rating opportunity that should continue.

Samsung preferred over SK Hynix.
Memory semiconductors (Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix) are undervalued relative to their structural earnings power due to AI-driven demand transformation. Low P/E ratios are not a value trap but reflect a re-rating opportunity that should continue.
