Summary

The KOSPI surged 5.2% on ceasefire hopes between the US and Iran, with broad gains across semiconductors, shipbuilding, defense, nuclear power, and secondary batteries. Panelists Kim Jang-yeol and Lee Kwon-hee detailed bullish catalysts for Samsung Electronics/SK Hynix, Samsung Electro-Mechanics, HPSP, defense, shipbuilding, power equipment, battery names, and Iran reconstruction beneficiaries, while advising caution on overvalued equipment stocks.

• KOSPI closes up 5.2% at 8,545 as ceasefire expectations reduce oil and macro risk.
• Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix remain core holds; Nomura targets 590,000 won and 500,000 won respectively.
• Samsung Electro-Mechanics jumps 16% on structural MLCC/FCBGA demand, analysts see further upside to 240k-300k.
• HPSP surges on SSD/NAND expansion and potential DRAM adoption of its monopoly annealing equipment.
• Defense, shipbuilding, and nuclear power (조방원) rebound on low valuations and US investment policy catalysts.
• Power equipment (LS Electric, Hyosung Heavy) finally rebounds after supply overhang; seen as easier than semi equipment.
• Secondary batteries (LG Energy Solution) show bottoming signals with price merit after steep correction.
• Iran reconstruction plays (DL E&C, Samsung E&A) move on ceasefire; DL E&C seen as best positioned if sanctions lift.
• Semiconductor equipment rotation continues; highly valued names take a breather while cheaper catch-up plays (Nepes Ark) rally.
