Investment Strategy Report Summary — 2026-07-28
Large-Cap and Key Holding Report
Increased Volatility in Semiconductors
On the 27th, the domestic market showed volatility as concerns grew over rising competition in memory chips from Chinese semiconductor companies. Foreign investors have been aggressively selling semiconductor stocks for two consecutive days, increasing the likelihood of a correction for major memory chip players like Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix.
Realignment of Interest in Tech Stocks
The U.S. market is showing volatility following signs of easing tensions between the U.S. and Iran, which is also impacting investor sentiment in domestic tech stocks. Global tech giants including Micron Technology, NVIDIA, Intel, and Apple remain the focus of investor attention.
Analysis of Biotech and Tech Growth Stocks
Re-evaluation of the Biotech Sector
Investment liquidity is flowing back into the biotech and pharmaceutical sectors. Global biotech companies such as Danaher, Vertex Pharmaceuticals, Moderna, and Krystal Biotech are re-emerging as strong candidates for investment portfolios. Expectations for gains are rising, particularly for mid-cap biotech firms that hold promising clinical-stage pipelines.
Gaming Industry Strengthens Showcases
Krafton is set to participate in 'Gamescom 2026' in Cologne, Germany, starting August 26, where they will provide hands-on experience for five titles, including unreleased new games. This is a strategic move intended to strengthen their position in the global gaming market and is expected to boost expectations for earnings improvement following the release of new titles.
Industrial and Energy Sector Strategy
A Wait-and-See Approach for Hanwha Ocean
For Hanwha Ocean, the recommended investment strategy is to consider buying at or below the mid-70,000 KRW range, while keeping a close eye on potential further adjustments. It is necessary to closely monitor order intake for shipbuilding and offshore plants, as well as shifts in global shipping market demand.
Comprehensive Investment Direction
While the spot market received a positive signal from the announcement of the Korea-U.S. AI cooperation project, uncertainty driven by Chinese semiconductor technological gains and intensified memory chip competition remains dominant. As long as the foreign sell-off of semiconductor stocks continues, it is judged that selective buying of mid-cap stocks with differentiated growth drivers—such as biotech, gaming, and entertainment—is more appropriate than maintaining a large-cap-heavy position.
In the short term, to manage volatility, it is recommended to realize gains on existing semiconductor holdings and reorganize portfolios toward undervalued biotech and gaming stocks.
