Undervalued Samsung proxy with turnaround.
Samsung C&T holds about 5% of Samsung Electronics shares, worth roughly 85 trillion won based on Samsung Electronics' market cap, yet the company's own market cap is under 70 trillion won — implying it trades below tangible book value. Additionally, its core business is turning around with SMR, hydrogen, and other energy themes. It serves as a safer proxy with downside protection.

High leverage to SK hynix.
SK Square holds a 20% stake in SK hynix, giving it direct leverage to SK hynix's performance. Its share price has risen more sharply than that of Samsung C&T because of this higher proportional holding. It is another proxy for investors who missed the direct run in SK hynix.

Earnings-backed rally, hold for upside.
The launch of single-stock 2x leveraged ETFs for Samsung Electronics and SK hynix on May 27 is expected to cause ETF providers to buy the underlying shares in advance, providing short-term upward momentum. Additionally, some investors may sell the underlying stocks to switch into the leveraged products, but the net effect could support prices until the launch date.
