Trade Ideas

Sanhua benefits from Tesla and data centers
Sanhua Intelligent Controls (a Chinese thermal management and cooling company) is a long-term growth story driven by Tesla auto parts (15–20% revenue), data-center cooling expansion (already seeing orders), and a new robot-component business (Tesla Optimus supply). Its SOTP valuation supports a target price of 695 yuan, 34% above the current price, with high margins from the robot segment.

Korean defense stocks have capacity advantage
Korean defense stocks have a capacity edge over European peers. European defense companies (e.g., Rheinmetall) are struggling with delivery due to capacity bottlenecks, whereas Korean companies have spare capacity and are meeting schedules. This discrepancy could lead to multiple expansion for Korean defense names as they capture incremental orders.

Korean shipbuilding attractive with engine demand
Korean shipbuilding stocks are strongly attractive due to accelerating earnings, margin improvement, and a new growth driver in data-center engine demand. The engine business, which is easy to expand capacity, can command a 40x PE multiple, while the current valuation of HD Hyundai Heavy Industries is under 15x PE. HD Korea Shipbuilding also has strong cash holdings. The combination of rising newbuilding prices, already visible earnings growth, and the engine catalyst makes shipbuilding a compelling investment.

Korean securities benefit from foreign inflows
Korean securities firms are poised to benefit from the foreign integrated account system and partnerships with global online brokers (Samsung with IBKR, Kiwoom with Webull, Mirae Asset with others). This opens a new 'export' channel for domestic brokerage services, bringing in long-term foreign individual investors. Higher trading volumes and low Korean brokerage valuations (PBR ~0.8–1.2 historically, now rising) support multiple expansion.
