LG Electronics benefits from Jensen Huang meeting
LG Electronics is surging due to anticipation of management meeting Jensen Huang at Computex. The macro environment is rewarding tech risk-taking, and retail investors in Korea are deeply understanding the AI supply chain, driving further gains. The stock rose 25% on Friday and another 25% today, reflecting this powerful self-reinforcing dynamic.

Lenovo AI PC growth upgrades continue
Lenovo is benefiting from the AI PC and AI agent growth narrative. Management guidance has been very bullish, and the street is catching up with earnings estimates, as seen by multiple banks raising price targets (e.g., Goldman Sachs by 15%). The stock has doubled in May, and the cycle of management guidance driving analyst upgrades is likely to continue.
Akeso will dominate lung cancer treatment
Akeso's lung cancer drug ivonescimab (AK112) showed superior efficacy in a Phase 3 trial, reducing risk of death by 34% compared to standard of care. The company has a commanding lead in the bispecific antibody class for lung cancer, with over 70,000 patients already treated in China. They are confident of becoming the dominant player globally, displacing current therapies like Keytruda. The data is transferable to Western populations, and partner Summit is on track for global trials.
