Summary

The video discusses the recent sharp decline in Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, attributing it to complex supply-demand dynamics and macro pressures rather than fundamental issues. CEO Park Byeong-chang advises investors to hold their semiconductor positions while looking for opportunities in sectors showing independent strength, such as cosmetics ODMs and financials. He also highlights the potential of stocks forming higher lows and upcoming themes like fintech and stablecoins.

  • Samsung Electronics' drop is driven by trapped foreign capital and political noise, not deteriorating fundamentals.
  • DRAM prices continue to rise, indicating that semiconductor fundamentals remain intact.
  • Investors are advised to wait for supply-demand tangles to resolve rather than panic selling large-cap tech.
  • Cosmetics ODM companies and financial holding stocks are showing strong independent upward trends.
  • NAVER is forming a pattern of higher lows and could strengthen significantly upon breaking resistance.
  • KEPCO has fallen back to historical bottom levels, presenting a potential long-term value opportunity.
  • Upcoming US stablecoin legislation could force Korean regulatory easing, benefiting domestic fintech stocks.

Hold and buy semiconductors on extreme dips.
The recent sharp drop in Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix is driven by complex supply-demand tangles, trapped foreign capital, and macro/political pressures rather than fundamental deterioration, as DRAM prices continue to rise. Investors should hold their positions, wait for the supply-demand issues to untangle, and consider buying if the price drops to absolute undervalued levels.

Cosmetics ODMs show strong independent upward trends.
Cosmetics ODM companies like Cosmax and Kolmar Korea are exhibiting strong, independent upward trends, completely decoupling from the broader market weakness and semiconductor volatility.

Financial stocks are showing independent market strength.
Financial holding companies are maintaining their own solid upward trajectory, remaining unaffected by the broader market's struggles with large-cap tech stocks.

NAVER will strengthen significantly if breaking resistance.
NAVER is forming a technical pattern of higher lows. If it manages to break through its current resistance level, the stock's upward momentum will become significantly stronger, making it a key setup to monitor.
Park Byeong-chang Director, MP Partners 37:53
KEPCO is a cheap buy at historical bottoms.
Looking at the long-term weekly chart, KEPCO has returned to its historical absolute bottom levels. At these prices, the downside is extremely limited, making it a compelling cheap buy for long-term investors if it drops slightly more.

Easing stablecoin regulations will boost fintech stocks.
As the US accelerates stablecoin legislation, Korea will eventually have to ease financial regulations to allow tech companies to participate and prevent a 'dollar attack.' This regulatory progression will benefit related domestic fintech and stablecoin theme stocks.
