Summary

CEO Kim Min-soo of Lemon Research discusses extreme market concentration in Korean equities, arguing that only leading stocks like Samsung Electronics, SK hynix, and MLCC makers will continue to rise. He advises against chasing beaten-down small caps and recommends reducing positions in Naver after its recent rally. He also highlights Hyundai AutoEver as a promising software-driven SI play for the long term.

  • Extreme concentration favoring a few large-cap stocks like Samsung Electronics and SK hynix.
  • Memory cycle is structural, not cyclical, supporting further upside for Samsung and SK hynix.
  • Passive component shortage benefits Samsung Electro-Mechanics and LG Innotek.
  • Naver's surge is unsustainable; reduce positions on strength.
  • Hyundai AutoEver is a high-margin software play in autonomous driving and robotics.
  • KOSDAQ remains weak and needs policy support before a sustained recovery.
  • Broad AI hardware theme is dominant but not easily tradeable via named ETF.
  • SI stocks like Samsung SDS and Lotte Innovate are cheap but lack near-term catalysts.
Trade Ideas
Samsung/SK hynix still cheap with structural cycle
Samsung Electronics and SK hynix are still cheap despite recent price gains. Forward P/E is around 5.5x for next year, and the current EPS growth is driving the stock, not multiple expansion. The memory cycle is structural, with troughs rising over time, and multiple expansion to 10-20x is plausible, unlike past cycles that only reached 5-10x. Therefore, these stocks have further upside.
MLCC shortage drives Samsung Electro-Mechanics, LG Innotek
Samsung Electro-Mechanics and LG Innotek are benefiting from a global shortage of passive components (MLCC, RLC). Global peers trade at 40-45x P/E, while these Korean stocks have room to catch up. Shortages will drive ASP and volume (P and Q) up simultaneously, and valuation multiple expansion will add further upside.
Reduce Naver on overbought, no real catalyst
Naver's recent surge is driven by expectations around Jensen Huang's visit and short covering, but the meeting is likely just a check on GPU usage, not a strategic partnership. Naver is still in the learning phase and AI software monetization is far off. The stock faces strong resistance around 240,000-250,000 won. Investors should reduce positions on strength.
Hyundai AutoEver as high-margin software play
Hyundai AutoEver is well-positioned as a system integration (SI) company with software characteristics. It will benefit from autonomous driving and robotics, where it handles system integration and control. When software monetization starts, margins could explode to 60-70% due to operating leverage, leading to explosive stock price appreciation. The current PBR of 1.1x and forward P/E of 86x reflect early-stage growth expectations.
