I see Jensen Huang’s Korea trip as a strong signal that $NVIDIA(NVDA)$ growth is increasingly tied to Korean memory suppliers $CSOP Samsung Electronics Daily (2x) Leveraged Product(07747)$ $CSOP Samsung Electronics Daily (2x) Leveraged Product(07747)$ . His focus on next-gen systems like Vera Rubin & robotics platforms reinforces that AI scaling is now fundamentally constrained by HBM & advanced memory, putting Korea at the center of the supply chain.

Between, I view SK hynix as the higher-risk, higher-reward pure play on AI memory demand, while Samsung is the more diversified & resilient option. SK hynix benefits more directly from Nvidia-driven HBM demand but is also more exposed if AI capex slows or pricing weakens.

On the bubble question, I don’t see a full top yet, but I do see a late-cycle phase with elevated FOMO and volatility. The fundamentals are still strong, but selectivity matters more as sharp corrections become more common.

Korean Memory Trade: Samsung & SK Hynix Continue to Lead?
A "Memory Doomsday" in 2026 has triggered a massive supply vacuum in the DRAM market, propelling South Korean equities into a historic super-cycle. For the first time, the combined market capitalization of Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix has surpassed US$1.1 trillion. Driven by an insatiable demand for High Bandwidth Memory (HBM), both Korean giants have seen year-to-date (YTD) gains exceeding 50%. Can Samsung and SK Hynix maintain their dominance as HBM supply remains bottlenecked through 2026?
