Summary

CEO Lee Kwan-hee discusses market conditions, emphasizing that Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix remain core buys on dips due to strong AI-driven earnings and low valuation. He highlights LG Group stocks revaluing from its AI research lab, NAVER as a key domestic AI platform, and NCsoft's turnaround. The KOSPI index's low PER suggests 20% upside.

  • Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix are recommended as core holdings; buy on sharp dips.
  • LG Group stocks (LG Elec, LG CNS, LG Innotek, LG Corp) are rising due to LG AI Research Institute valuation.
  • NAVER is positioned as a key domestic AI platform benefiting from partnerships and government projects.
  • NCsoft shows a successful turnaround with new games and stable growth.
  • KOSPI PER at 8.4x vs historical 10x implies 20% index upside.
  • Hanmi Pharmaceutical's large tech export deal failed to lift stock as it wasn't the expected obesity drug.
  • Forex liberalization and potential MSCI inclusion could bring foreign inflows.
  • Market concentration in AI/semiconductor stocks is acknowledged as justified by earnings.
Trade Ideas
Lee Kwon-hee CEO, Economist 9:02
NAVER is core domestic AI play
NAVER is a key domestic AI platform player, alongside Samsung SDS and LG CNS. It is essential for deploying AI to SMEs and large groups, and its partnership with Palantir and involvement in the government's military AI platform create positive catalysts. The stock still has upside to reach levels where criticism fades.

Buy Samsung/Hynix on sharp dips
Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix are core positions driven by AI semiconductor demand, contributing ~64% of KOSPI operating profit growth. Despite strong gains, their valuation (PER) remains low, and any sharp 3-4% drop is a buying opportunity. Goldman Sachs forecasts massive 2028 profits. Investors should not sell and should accumulate on dips.

KOSPI has 20% upside from PER
The KOSPI index is trading at a PER of ~8.4x, well below its historical average of ~10x (20-year average). Given earnings growth, the index should rerate to at least 10x, implying roughly 20% upside. The low valuation provides a margin of safety even with current market volatility.
Lee Kwon-hee CEO, Economist 14:08
LG Group benefits from AI lab
LG Group stocks are being revalued because the market is recognizing the value of LG AI Research Institute, which is a subsidiary of LG Corp. This has led to sharp rallies in LG Electronics, LG CNS, LG Innotek, and LG Corp. The AI research center is seen as a key asset for creating xAI-type value.
Lee Kwon-hee CEO, Economist 15:18
NCsoft turnaround is gaining traction
NCsoft has successfully turned around in Q1 2026 with new game releases (Lineage W, casual games) showing stable growth and margins. The stock has risen ~50% YTD but the uptrend may continue as earnings confirm the recovery. The company is showing signs of revival after a long slump.
