Large-Cap & Core Holdings Report
Kakao: Investor Sentiment Dips Over Pay Dispute
Despite reporting record-high Q1 results (1.9421 trillion KRW in revenue, up 11% YoY), Kakao is facing significant cooling in investor sentiment. Daol Investment Securities has slashed its price target from 70,000 KRW to 60,000 KRW, with analysts noting that "monetizing AI will take time." Crucially, the threat of a strike by the company's labor union—sparked by grievances over performance bonuses—has become a real risk. With the second round of labor-management mediation falling through, the union has signaled a potential strike for next month.
Kakao has also swapped its entire stake in AXZ for new shares in Upstage, securing approximately a 10% interest. This is projected to be worth around 500 billion KRW if the company goes public at a 5 trillion KRW valuation. However, for now, short-term pressures from the labor situation and delays in AI profitability are driving the stock lower.
Hanon System: Targeting 14.7 Trillion KRW Revenue by 2030
At the 2026 Global Management Strategy Innovation Conference, Hanon System announced its goal to hit 14.7 trillion KRW in revenue and a 9% operating margin by 2030. The company is doubling down on its core business of electric vehicle thermal management to bolster its global competitiveness.

Hanwha Ocean: Shares Surge on Strong Institutional and Foreign Inflows
Hanwha Ocean rose 11.95% to close at 136,800 KRW on the 26th, driven by net buying of 764,000 shares from foreigners and 17,000 shares from institutional investors. Despite recent profit-taking pressure across the shipbuilding sector, Hanwha Ocean is enjoying a positive inflow of capital and maintaining stronger momentum than its peers.
Overall Investment Outlook
Current Market Environment: The KOSPI has surpassed the 7,000-point mark to hit an all-time high, fueled by the return of foreign investors and expectations for AI cooperation following the visit of Jensen Huang (NVIDIA CEO) to Korea.
Holding Strategy:
- Kakao: Short-term weakness expected due to strike risks and a lowered price target; the consensus remains "hold."
- Hanon System: Long-term growth potential is confirmed with the 2030 strategy announcement, but keep an eye on short-term volatility.
- Hanwha Ocean: Institutional interest is rising thanks to synchronized foreign and institutional buying; it shows strong relative strength within the shipbuilding sector.
