Summary

CEO Kang Gwan-woo argues that AI capex growth will eventually lift memory stocks, which are now at extremely low valuations. He recommends a barbell portfolio with 60% growth (Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, NAVER, robotics) and 40% cyclicals/defensives (shipbuilding, financials, oil decline beneficiaries), while deeming US equities unattractive due to high bond yields. He also highlights S-Oil's Shaheen project catalyst and the potential of robotics as the next leadership sector.

  • AI capex to reach $1 trillion; memory cycle benefits will return, but market over-discounts cycle risk.
  • Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix forward P/Es of 4.0 and 3.8 are extremely cheap; normalized valuations also low.
  • NAVER benefits from domestic data center theme and foreign investment.
  • Hyundai Motor offers robot upside at depressed price.
  • Robotics sector poised for leadership, though full deployment two years out; allocate.
  • S-Oil's Shaheen project completion to drive earnings.
  • Korean shipbuilding and financial holdings attractive cyclicals/defensives.
  • US equities unattractive vs 4.7% 10-year yield; avoid.
Ideas
Kang Gwan-woo CEO 4:56
Samsung Electronics deeply undervalued, normalized cheap.
Samsung Electronics is trading at a forward P/E of 4.0, extremely low even after normalizing earnings over 2028-2030 to smooth the cycle. The market is over-discounting cycle risk, and the implied sustainable ROE of 20-25% supports a much higher valuation. If shareholder return rises to 50%, dividend yield could reach 6-7%, making it a compelling buy.

SK Hynix extremely cheap, sustainable ROE.
SK Hynix trades at a forward P/E of 3.8, even cheaper than Samsung, and despite the recent ADR-driven volatility and an earnings miss, the long-term sustainable ROE is 15-20%. The stock is deeply undervalued and should be a core holding as the memory cycle eventually turns.
000660.KS HIGH
Kang Gwan-woo CEO 13:48
US stocks unattractive vs bonds.
With the S&P 500 forward P/E around 21-22, the equity expected return is below 0.5%, while the 10-year Treasury yield is at 4.7%. This makes US equities unattractive relative to bonds, and the market is not attractive until rates stabilize.
SPY HIGH
Kang Gwan-woo CEO 15:07
Oil decline beneficiaries worth watching.
Falling oil prices are easing inflation and can reduce the equity discount rate. Korean oil price decline beneficiaries are worth monitoring as a thematic opportunity; they could perform well as oil stabilizes or declines further.

NAVER benefits from data center boom.
NAVER is attracting attention because of its data center expansion and foreign capital inflows, moving up alongside the US hyperscalers. It belongs to the AI core allocation as a domestic beneficiary of the AI data center build-out.
035420.KS MED
Kang Gwan-woo CEO 17:50
Robotics sector set to lead.
The robotics sector is set to be the next market leader. Full deployment of humanoid robots like Atlas is still about two years away, but the market tends to front-run such secular themes. Allocating a portion to Korean robotics stocks now makes sense within the growth sleeve.
Korean robotics stocks MED
Kang Gwan-woo CEO 17:59
Hyundai Motor cheap robot play.
Hyundai Motor has fallen a lot and is a cheap way to play the robotics theme, which could be the next market leadership. It provides exposure to the robotics upcycle while being already depressed.
005380.KS MED
Kang Gwan-woo CEO 19:37
S-Oil Shaheen project to boost earnings.
S-Oil's Shaheen project is nearing completion, which will drive a significant earnings increase. Despite the stock having already risen, it is not the only beneficiary of the oil price decline theme, and the project catalyst supports further upside.
010950.KS MED
Kang Gwan-woo CEO 19:51
Korean shipbuilders cheap, earnings rebound.
Korean shipbuilding stocks are expected to deliver strong earnings even though their valuations are not low. Prices have fallen substantially, creating an attractive cyclical/defensive entry point for a barbell portfolio.
Korean Shipbuilding Stocks MED
Kang Gwan-woo CEO 20:05
Korean financials cheap defensive value.
Financial holding companies have been beaten down alongside the market, offering value and defensive characteristics. Including them in the defensive portion of a barbell portfolio is sensible.
Korean Financial Holding Companies LOW
