Summary

The video discusses the market impact of renewed geopolitical tensions between the US and Iran, noting that while it caused a brief panic, the semiconductor sector quickly rebounded. Experts analyze the implications of SK Hynix's ADR listing, expecting a valuation rerating as it closes the gap with Micron. The panel highlights the ongoing strength of AI infrastructure investments by big tech companies like Meta and Apple, dismissing concerns about an AI bubble. Market strategies are shared, emphasizing a focus on semiconductor equipment, design houses, and large-cap KOSDAQ stocks ahead of the implementation of the Premium Promotion System.

  • Geopolitical noise from US-Iran tensions caused temporary market volatility but did not derail the tech rally.
  • SK Hynix's ADR listing is expected to trigger a valuation rerating by narrowing the gap with US peers.
  • Big tech companies continue aggressive AI infrastructure investments, supporting semiconductor demand.
  • The Broadcom-Apple deal brings attention to design houses and substrate manufacturers.
  • Investors are advised to rebalance KOSDAQ portfolios towards top 70 large-cap stocks due to upcoming passive fund flows.
  • Power equipment stocks may face short-term valuation pressure compared to US peers until upcoming earnings reports.
Ideas
Less damaged PCB charts will rebound faster.
Broadcom's $30 billion deal with Apple brings attention to the substrate and PCB sector. When the sector rebounds, stocks that have fallen less and have less damaged charts, such as Simmtech and Gigavis, will face less resistance and rise faster than heavily damaged ones like Isu Petasys or Korea Circuit.
Lee Ju-hyeon Director, Xangle 53:47
China's H200 import consideration boosts AI demand.
China is considering allowing limited imports of Nvidia's H200 chips for companies like Alibaba and ByteDance due to computing power shortages. This creates new demand and revenue sources for Nvidia, which is also a positive catalyst for HBM suppliers like Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix.
Lee Ju-hyeon Director, Xangle 58:18
Apple's RF chip deal offers no direct benefit.
Apple's $30 billion RF chip deal with Broadcom is psychologically positive for the tech sector, but Korean PCB makers like Isu Petasys and Korea Circuit supply AI accelerator and network chips to Broadcom, not RF chips, so there is no direct fundamental benefit for them from this specific deal.
Lee Ju-hyeon Director, Xangle 67:12
Tight hotel supply and rising tourists drive growth.
Foreign tourist arrivals are at record highs, but new hotel supply is severely constrained due to a lack of permits in recent years. Room rates are rising structurally, making currently depressed hotel stocks attractive once the broader market stabilizes.
Kim Hyeong-cheol CEO, Kim Hyung-chul Research Institute 95:10
Robotics value provides upward momentum during corrections.
Kia is holding up much better than Hyundai Motor during the recent market correction, and its potential value in the robotics sector is not yet reflected in the stock price, providing upward momentum.
Lee Kwon-hee CEO, Economist 104:02
Blackwell delay resolved, prompting foreign buying of substrates.
The delay concerns regarding Nvidia's Blackwell chips have been resolved, prompting foreign investors to aggressively buy FC-BGA and substrate-related stocks like Samsung Electro-Mechanics, LG Innotek, and Daeduck Electronics that had dropped excessively.
Lee Kwon-hee CEO, Economist 105:43
Secured enterprise SSD mass production with SK Hynix.
The massive Broadcom-Apple deal is drawing market attention to ASIC and design house companies like Gaonchips, ASICLAND, and ADTechnology, which act as crucial intermediaries between fabless designers and foundries.
Lee Kwon-hee CEO, Economist 134:45
Breaking out on strong earnings and shareholder returns.
Bank stocks are expected to report strong Q2 earnings, offer solid dividends, and execute share buybacks and cancellations. KB Financial Group is breaking out of a long-term box pattern, signaling a structural level-up.
Lee Kwon-hee CEO, Economist 135:40
Submarine order failure caused an excessive stock discount.
Hanwha Ocean has plummeted 48% from its peak due to the failure to win a Canadian submarine order, which is an excessive discount. The stock is currently forming a bottom and presents a strong buying opportunity.
Kim Tae-seong Division Head, Xangle 141:42
Front-end equipment with intact trends rebound stronger.
In the semiconductor front-end equipment sector, stocks like Eugene Technology, TES, and TCK that maintained their technical trends and fell less during the recent index drop are showing the strongest rebound momentum.
Kim Tae-seong Division Head, Xangle 142:43
Successful 60-day moving average correction signals strong rebound.
Among semiconductor back-end equipment stocks, KCTech successfully completed its correction above the 60-day moving average, positioning it for a strong rebound compared to peers with broken charts.
Kim Tae-seong Division Head, Xangle 143:29
Broadcom-Apple deal highlights the importance of design houses.
The massive Broadcom-Apple deal is drawing market attention to ASIC and design house companies like Gaonchips, ASICLAND, and ADTechnology, which act as crucial intermediaries between fabless designers and foundries.
Kim Tae-seong Division Head, Xangle 148:31
Value-up index will concentrate passive funds in large-caps.
The upcoming Premium Promotion System (Value-up index) will concentrate passive fund inflows into the top 70 KOSDAQ stocks, leaving the rest of the 1,400+ stocks as liquidity donors. Investors should rebalance towards large-cap KOSDAQ names.
Kim Tae-seong Division Head, Xangle 151:31
Samsung's earnings surprise shifts focus to foundry suppliers.
Samsung's massive Q2 earnings surprise likely includes improvements in its foundry business. As memory gets priced in, the market will shift focus to foundry materials and equipment stocks like Nepes Ark that have fallen on low volume.
Kim Tae-seong Division Head, Xangle 162:45
Wait for US peers' earnings to lower relative valuations.
Korean power equipment stocks currently trade at higher P/E multiples than US peers like Eaton and GE Vernova, limiting foreign buying. Investors should wait until early August when US peers report earnings, which could lower their multiples and make Korean stocks look relatively cheaper.
