It is worth noting that JP Morgan has raised its target for the South Korean stock market for the second time in less than a month, reflecting improvements in the semiconductor cycle, corporate governance reforms, and growth in the industrial sector. As of May 11, the South Korean KOSPI index surged by over 4% to a historical high, with SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics reaching new highs.
JP Morgan stated that in the short term, from a technical perspective, the stock market has risen excessively, but key fundamentals are still in good shape. With the push from average selling prices and sales volumes over the next two years, the storage chip market may continue to enter a period of sustained growth. Therefore, investors should continue to hold positions to capture further upside potential and avoid prematurely anticipating the end of the cycle.
