The status of the Antibody-Drug Conjugate (ADC) market is rising rapidly. Including new drugs from MSD, it is emerging as a key player in next-generation cancer treatment, quickly expanding its influence in the global market.
IT/Gaming/Content Sector Strategy

Krafton is expanding its business from being a gaming-centric company into a comprehensive digital content powerhouse covering advertising, content, AI, and robotics. Advertising accounted for over 20% of total revenue in Q1.

Industrial & Energy Sector Strategy
Hanwha Solutions — Expectations for solar and ESS expansion
Hanwha Solutions’ Q-Cells division is receiving positive evaluations for its strategy to expand its solar and ESS businesses in the United States. Strengthening an integrated energy business model that covers not just solar module supply but also ESS, centered on North America, has been a key driver for its stock price.
Comprehensive Investment Outlook
Foreign net selling in the spot market has continued for 19 consecutive trading days, with 7 trillion KRW dumped in a single day on the 4th. This signals increased market volatility, which may lead to short-term fluctuations in current holdings.
Positive Factors: Krafton's multi-platform expansion, Seegene’s margin recovery, Hanwha Solutions’ strengthened renewable energy business, and Studio Dragon’s content competitiveness provide medium-term growth momentum.
Negative Factors: Kakao’s target price cut and strike risks, intensified foreign selling across the market, and dampened sentiment from the surging exchange rate could lead to short-term weakness.
Investment Direction: Given the strong selling pressure in the spot market, we recommend a conservative approach (hold). It is time to wait for individual earnings announcements and the stabilization of macroeconomic indicators before re-evaluating your positions.
