Summary

Kim Hyun-soo from Hana Securities recommends buying Korean battery cell makers LG Energy Solution and Samsung SDI, citing temporary margin issues and the expansion of ESS business to data center customers as key catalysts. He believes the recent pullback offers attractive entry points with 30-50% upside based on 2028 valuations. He advises avoiding battery material stocks.

  • Recent decline in battery cell stocks due to temporary margin issues and US-China summit concerns.
  • ESS, especially for data centers, is the main growth driver for Korean battery cell makers.
  • US EV demand remains weak, but European EV growth is strong.
  • Cell makers are strongly preferred over material companies.
  • LG Energy Solution and Samsung SDI are both recommended as buys.
  • Valuation based on 2028 earnings shows meaningful upside.

Long LG Energy Solution and Samsung SDI.
The recent decline in Korean battery cell maker stocks (LG Energy Solution, Samsung SDI) is due to temporary margin issues and US-China summit headlines, not structural. Fundamentals remain intact. The business model is expanding into data center ESS customers (e.g., Oracle), providing a new growth catalyst. Based on 2028 valuation, current prices offer 30% upside in 3 months and over 50% long-term. Cell makers are strongly preferred over material companies.
