[Daily Market Insights] 'Fact-Checked' Growth: A Tightrope Walk in a Misguided Market

At 4 PM on July 25, 2026, a disappointing end to the workday is beginning outside the windows of Seoul's financial district. On this day, the South Korean stock market collapsed to the 6,600-point range as the KOSPI plummeted over 5% under a barrage of foreign selling. Amid a 'panic'-like atmosphere fueled by extreme exchange rate volatility and global tensions, our focus remains on the 'AI Value Investment Portfolio,' centered around US semiconductors and tech growth stocks. Despite the shaky market conditions, this portfolio has recorded a rise of 55.05% against the initial investment principal, proving 'growth at a reasonable price' based on strict valuation criteria.

Extreme Polarization: Growth Stocks Become a 'Shield' Amid the Crash

Looking at the day's market indicators, a stark difference is visible between the collapse of the Korean market and the US market. While KOSPI and KOSDAQ fell in unison by -5.72% and -5.32% respectively, the S&P 500 and Dow Jones showed defensive moves. Interestingly, the NASDAQ weakened and the Semiconductor Index (SOX) plunged (-4.25%). Yet, even as semiconductor stocks corrected more severely than big tech, this portfolio maintained its downside rigidity, using the solid earnings (EPS) of its holdings and undervalued PEG ratios relative to the past as a shield. The asset trend over the last 5 days shows a consistent upward trajectory despite the volatility. The differentiator of this strategy is that these gains were not merely from rising stock prices, but from capturing 'undervalued growth.'

Holding Diagnosis: The Story Hidden in PER and PEG

Examining the valuations of key holdings makes the current price movement persuasive. Micron (MU) is forming an unbelievably undervalued zone with a PER of 22.4x and a PEG of 0.14. This suggests the current price is ridiculously cheap compared to its immense growth potential. NVIDIA (NVDA) also maintains a price level that remains attractive relative to profitability with a PER of 32x and a PEG of 0.57, reinforcing the view that temporary adjustments are 'buying opportunities.'

Conversely, AMD has formed a somewhat high valuation premium with a PER of 185.5x and a PEG of 1.28. AMD's defensive posture, even amidst the recent semiconductor slump, is interpreted as a reflection of market expectations for future AI-related profit realization. Broadcom (AVGO) and Amazon (AMZN) have PERs of 66.2 and 29.3 respectively, but with PEGs below 1.3, they guarantee stable growth and serve as the central pillars balancing the portfolio. Notably, the aggressive use of volatility through a mix of leveraged ETFs like TQQQ and SOXL stands out.

The Art of Sector Rotation: From 'Tech' to 'Semiconductors'

An analysis of recent trading history reveals that the portfolio manager is agilely adjusting sector weights according to market sentiment. On July 10, TQQQ was aggressively bought anticipating a tech large-cap rally, but as the flow shifted to semiconductor specialties, this was partially liquidated on July 24 and capital redeployed into SOXL.

Of particular note is the action regarding META. Sell orders were executed consecutively on July 17 and 24. The position was reduced citing concerns over intensifying competition in the ad market and delays in AI monetization. Conversely, on the same day (24th), SOXL was bought, demonstrating a will to continuously target the semiconductor sector strength. This is interpreted as a leverage return maximization strategy based on the judgment that the PEG (0.81) of the underlying asset SOXX is significantly below fair value (1.46). This shows it is a sophisticated 'sector switch' utilizing valuation gaps, going beyond simple profit-taking.

Market Outlook: Opportunity in Fear, Buy Below PEG

Despite the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index (SOX) falling over 4% near the close, this portfolio is holding firm without significant turbulence. This proves that the intrinsic value of the held assets is more robust than market psychological factors. The current USD/KRW exchange rate finding stability at 1,462 won and the slight drop in US 10-year yields to 4.679% suggest that tightening concerns may be easing somewhat.

For the time being, the market will react sensitively to 'bad news,' but stocks that have passed strict value indicators will turn this volatility into opportunity. The current low PEG levels of Micron and NVIDIA provide attractive entry points for fearful investors. However, a conservative approach seems necessary for sectors where the competitive landscape is shifting, like Meta. Ultimately, the market will realize its short-term emotions and return to fundamental values of 'profit' and 'growth,' with AI and semiconductors at the center of that flow.
