Urgent Market Conditions: SK Hynix 2030 Shipments Explode 2x.. 'This Stock' to Preempt When Stock Price Plummets / Will Exchange Rate Risk and Foreign Selling Continue? l CEO Kim Min-soo

Summary

Kim Min-soo (CEO, Lemon Research) analyzes the sharp semiconductor sell-off, attributing it to sentiment and misinterpreted news, and advises buying AI memory leaders on dips. He highlights front-end semiconductor equipment stocks as key beneficiaries of scheduled capacity expansion, and sees KOSDAQ recovery concentrated in semiconductor materials/equipment. He gives tactical long views on KB Financial and certain securities stocks, while cautioning against leverage and recommending cash reserves amid volatility.

• Morning sell-off in semiconductors attributed to fatigue and exaggerated bearish narratives (Vera socket, Micron CEO selling).
• KOSPI 8000 expected to act as support with a quick rebound, but 8400 likely to cap the day.
• Front-end equipment stocks (Tes, Wonik IPS, Eugene Tech, PSK) have orders tied to Samsung P4 and SK Hynix expansion from 2026 H2.
• KOSDAQ recovery will be narrow, led only by semiconductor materials/equipment, not other sectors.
• Foreign selling is driven partly by won weakness and Space X IPO preparation, seen as temporary.
• KB Financial offers a tactical long with upside to 180,000 won due to rising interest rates and low year-to-date gains.
• Securities stocks (MBS, Kiwoom, Korea Investment) have price merit but should not be increased aggressively.
• Maintaining at least 10% cash is recommended to navigate volatility and buy dips.
