Summary

CEO Lee Ju-hyun analyzes a sharp KOSDAQ surge led by the KOSDAQ 150 index and healthcare names. Alteogen breaks resistance on licensing momentum, lifting biotech sentiment broadly. The uptrend is confirmed after three months of decline, and he recommends buying dips in leading growth sectors while cautioning against chasing extended moves. Large-cap semiconductor names remain heavy and need more time to base.

  • KOSDAQ 150 rallies 8%, breaking out of a three-month downtrend and turning moving averages upward.
  • Alteogen surges 14-15% on a third licensing deal, breaking prior resistance around 350,000 KRW.
  • Biotech sentiment improves broadly as Alteogen's success creates positive spillover to other pipeline stories.
  • Samsung Electronics and SK hynix remain weak, still forming a bottom that may take months.
  • Growth sectors such as robots, rechargeable batteries, and semiconductor equipment participate in the recovery but lack strong standalone catalysts.
  • Easing interest-rate hike fears remove a headwind for growth stocks, but chasing extended rallies is cautioned.
  • Strategy: buy KOSDAQ leaders on pullbacks near moving averages rather than at current stretched levels.

KOSDAQ 150 uptrend confirmed, buy dips
KOSDAQ 150 is leading a powerful uptrend after breaking a three-month downtrend. The 20-day moving average has been cleared while KOSPI is still below, confirming relative strength. Short-term moving averages are aligning bullishly, and dips should be used for buying as the trend has turned upward. Fading interest-rate hike fears and a rotation into beaten-down growth stocks support the move.

Alteogen breaks resistance, buy on pullbacks
Alteogen has broken through a key resistance around 350,000 KRW after digesting profit-taking, and the trend has turned upward. Strong licensing momentum and sharply rising sales estimates (from 100 billion to 250 billion KRW) are shifting market conviction. However, current valuation is demanding and requires continued earnings surprises. New buying at the resistance area is tricky; pullbacks near moving averages offer better entry for a long position.

Biotech sector rallies on Alteogen catalyst
Korean biotech/healthcare stocks are turning positive, driven by Alteogen's third licensing deal and rising royalty expectations, which improve sentiment for the whole sector. Other biotech names with pipeline catalysts—such as upcoming Phase 3 results or ongoing licensing discussions—are likely to benefit from the same optimism. The sector trades on sentiment and large-cap leaders setting direction, and now Alteogen's breakout can spread warmth to smaller biotech companies.
