Yeom Seung-hwan — Director, LS Securities

Summary

Director Yeom Seung-hwan of LS Securities discusses KOSDAQ's outlook driven by government activation policies, renewable energy (especially offshore wind), shipbuilding, and ESS/battery sectors. He advises not to give up on KOSDAQ and highlights specific stocks and themes for the second half. The US-China summit and geopolitical risks are seen as manageable near-term.

  • KOSDAQ should benefit from government activation policies and a national growth fund.
  • Offshore wind power in Korea is a laggard with strong policy backing.
  • Shipbuilding stocks are undervalued with LNG and defense catalysts.
  • ESS and Korean battery makers gain from data center demand and US policy shift away from Chinese batteries.
  • The US-China summit is not expected to have a large market impact.
  • Geopolitical and oil price risks are deferred for now.
  • Investors should not give up on KOSDAQ and consider active ETFs or select healthcare names.
  • Market leadership remains with AI infrastructure and energy themes.
Trade Ideas

Government-backed KOSDAQ activation catalyst ahead
KOSDAQ will rally as the Korean government pushes activation policies including the introduction of a 1st/2nd/3rd division league and the national participation growth fund in May. Despite current underperformance due to strong KOSPI and weak bios, the government's commitment is credible and KOSDAQ should not be given up.

ETF play on government KOSDAQ rally
Instead of picking individual KOSDAQ stocks, investors can accumulate a KOSDAQ Active ETF to benefit from the government-driven KOSDAQ rally without stock-specific risk.

Solid earnings KOSDAQ stock to buy
Pharma Research is a large-cap KOSDAQ healthcare company with solid earnings, making it a safe way to play the KOSDAQ rally since it offers earnings visibility unlike many speculative KOSDAQ names. It should benefit from eventual inflows.
Yeom Seung-hwan Director, LS Securities 9:53
Korean offshore wind beneficiary policy push
Offshore wind power in South Korea is under-owned relative to solar and other renewable energy, but the Korean government is highly committed to increasing renewable energy share from 10% to 21% by 2030, requiring massive wind installations. This will benefit wind power-related companies despite Trump's dislike of wind.
Yeom Seung-hwan Director, LS Securities 12:28
Undervalued shipbuilders with LNG catalyst
Korean shipbuilding stocks are undervalued relative to other energy/shipbuilding sectors and have catalysts from potential US LNG exports to China requiring Korean LNG carriers, plus US demand for naval vessels due to Taiwan strait tensions. The sector has been range-bound and offers upside.
Yeom Seung-hwan Director, LS Securities 13:42
Korean battery ESS demand from data centers
ESS (Energy Storage Systems) and domestic battery manufacturers will benefit from growing data center demand for backup power and voltage stabilization. US policy restricting Chinese batteries (CATL) pushes Fluence and others to switch to Korean batteries, benefiting Samsung SDI, LG Energy Solution, and Hanjung NCS (which is restructuring to pure ESS).
