US refiners benefit from elevated crack spreads

The 321 crack spread has surged to new highs due to geopolitical disruptions (Ukraine drone attacks on Russian refineries, Middle East supply issues) and strong seasonal demand shifting to US refiners. US gasoline inventories are at 5-year lows and diesel margins are spiking. Valero (VLO) has higher sensitivity to refining margins (89% of EBIT from refining), making it a leveraged play on elevated crack spreads. Marathon Petroleum (MPC) has a more balanced mix with midstream (53% of EBIT), offering downside protection if margins turn. Both benefit from the current environment, but Valero offers stronger upside while Marathon is a more defensive alternative.

Buy KOSPI at oversold levels

KOSPI is oversold with PBR below 2x and the index breaking below the 5-month moving average, but bottoming around 6,450 based on earnings-based band calculations. Earnings remain intact and no recession is expected. Historically, after such drawdowns the market rebounds within 1-6 months. He is actively buying KOSPI via KODEX 200 ETF and KOSDAQ 150 ETF, expecting a recovery toward 7,800-8,000.

SK Telecom re-rating as AI data center play

SK Telecom is spearheading a 15GW AI data center mega-project through its subsidiary SK Hyper, integrating group assets (SK Hynix HBM, SK Ecoplant fuel cells, SK Telecom cloud) into a full-stack AI infrastructure provider. This transformation could re-rate the stock from a telecom multiple (8-10x P/E) to an AI infra multiple (20-25x P/E), offering 50-100% upside to target prices of 200,000 KRW. The company's strong cash flow provides downside support, and catalysts include first data center operation in H2 2026 and 5GW scale by 2029.

Korean shipbuilders leverage naval demand

US-Korea naval cooperation (new Washington office, cooperation agreement) and a potential large submarine order from Saudi Arabia create a new military shipbuilding cycle for Korean shipyards. HD Hyundai Heavy Industries, Hanwha Ocean, and Samsung Heavy Industries are attractively valued on forward basis (PER ~13-14, ROE >20%), and military ship momentum adds to existing strong orderbooks. These stocks are recommended as beneficiaries of defense spending and tight shipyard capacity.
