Ideas
Semiconductors lead on AI capex
Semiconductors are the clear leading sector. AI capex concerns are overdone; hyperscaler capex is expected to rise 70-100% to roughly $610-660B in 2026, and Nvidia CEO says demand exceeds supply and computing power demand will structurally explode. This benefits AI chips, semiconductor equipment, and hardware.
Buy KOSPI dips below 5,000
Expects a strong Korean market rebound on Monday after U.S. and crypto stabilization, with KOSPI night futures up 4.3% and a Korean index ETF up 3.7% pointing to a higher open. However, she warns against chasing the gap-up and expects range-bound trade ahead of Lunar New Year and option expiry. Below 5,000, KOSPI PER falls below 9x, making it an attractive accumulation zone; above 5,000, she prefers waiting for pullbacks.
Nvidia demand exceeds supply
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang dismissed AI investment excess concerns, saying current capex is necessary and that supply, not demand, is the constraint. He said doubling GPU supply would double revenue, and the shift from tools to AI agents will structurally explode computing power demand. Nvidia remains a key beneficiary.
Samsung, SK hynix memory beneficiaries
Korea is a hardware nation, and Samsung Electronics and SK hynix lead the market. Hyper-scaler capex and HBM demand support them; a rumor says next-gen Rubin HBM will be mostly Samsung and SK hynix with Micron near 0%. Samsung also benefits as Tesla's AI5 foundry chip enters production. Memory shortage is more severe than logic.
Aerospace remains leading Musk theme
Aerospace is a leading sector and a core Elon Musk momentum theme. Musk's focus on space data centers and orbital shifts points to space solar, lightweight materials, launch vehicle value chain, and special materials. Related names like SeAH Besteel Holdings have maintained strong trends.
SpaceX IPO lifts Korean brokers
SpaceX listing expectations are drawing attention to Korean venture and investment-bank beneficiaries. Mirae Asset Venture Investment, Aju IB Investment, and Mirae Asset Securities are highlighted, with strong price trends despite market volatility.
Power infrastructure benefits from AI
Elon Musk says power is a bigger problem than AI chips, with gas turbine and transformer shortages. When semiconductor and AI infrastructure sentiment recovers, beaten-down power infrastructure should rebound. Beneficiaries include nuclear-related Doosan Enerbility, Korea Electric Power, Hyundai E&C, and power equipment makers HD Hyundai Electric and Hyosung Heavy Industries.
LS Electric supplies Tesla and xAI
LS Electric is the most advanced power equipment company and directly supplies Tesla and xAI, making it the most representative Korean beneficiary of Musk's AI infrastructure buildout.
Robotics poised for rebound
Robotics is a core Elon Musk theme through Tesla Optimus. After a tech-led correction, some robot stocks rebounded on Friday, and she expects potential rotation and rebound. Keep watching Korean robotics names.
Tesla solar plan boosts Korean suppliers
Space requires next-generation perovskite solar cells instead of silicon, and Musk's space data center goal supports this theme. Hanwha Solutions is most representative in cell/module; Unitest is researching perovskite with U.S. DOE efficiency recognition; HD Hyundai Energy Solutions and Mecaro are also involved; Kolon Industries makes CPI film material; HS Hyosung Advanced Materials has momentum but weak fundamentals; equipment makers Sunic System and Jusung Engineering supply deposition tools.

China tourism recovery lifts inbound stocks
Chinese tourist expectations are high; January Chinese route passengers hit their highest since 2018 due to visa-free entry for Chinese groups and eased restrictions on Korean content in China. Beneficiaries span hotels/leisure, K-beauty, travel agencies, retail, and entertainment. Names include Seobu T&D and GS PNL in hotels/leisure, undervalued JS Corporation, Lotte Tour Development in casinos, APR and D'Alba Global in K-beauty, Amorepacific on solid top-line growth, Hans Biomed and L&C Bio on skin booster data, Modetour for travel momentum, Hyundai Department Store, E-Mart and Shinsegae in retail, and DearU and HYBE in entertainment.
