Obvious KOSPI Suppression: The Secret of How Foreign Investors Profit from Futures by Selling Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix | CEO Lee Kwon-hee

Summary

CEO Lee Kwon-hee explains the sharp KOSDAQ rally as catch-up with KOSPI, driven by sector-wide participation and imminent policy catalysts. He reveals that KOSPI is being suppressed by foreign investors selling Samsung Electronics and SK hynix to profit from short futures positions, delaying any sustained rebound. Investment opportunities are highlighted in power equipment, secondary batteries, biotech, and deeply undervalued Naver and Hyundai Motor, while advising near-term caution on the broader KOSPI.

• KOSDAQ surged over 6% with all sectors rising; Lee sees more upside toward 900, favoring large-cap KOSDAQ 150 stocks.
• Foreign investors are using heavy selling of Samsung Electronics and SK hynix to depress KOSPI while holding massive short futures, capping index upside.
• He expects Samsung Electronics and SK hynix to rebound once foreign futures positions are sufficiently reduced, potentially within this week.
• Power equipment firms like Sanil Electric are enjoying super-cycle margins near 40% and rising orders, and he remains bullish.
• Secondary battery stocks have entered a trading buy zone with up to 20% upside after a trend reversal.
• Biotech is rebounding on short covering and positive news such as Blackrock's stake in Alteogen; he suggests focusing within the sector.
• Naver and Hyundai Motor are deeply undervalued long-term buys, similar to Hyundai's past re-rating opportunity.
• Securities stocks are worth monitoring as they have corrected sharply and Q3 earnings may improve.
