Exit TDI manufacturing & sales — face ₩117.9bn = 5.87% of 2025 consol sales; effective ~18 Dec; marginal-business cleanup; halt 10:58–11:28
2026-09-29 10:58 KST: OCI (OCI 주식회사, 456040, KOSPI) filed a material report — business suspension (주요사항보고서/영업정지). Suspended field: TDI manufacturing and sales business (TDI 제조 및 판매 사업). Suspension amount (영업정지금액): ₩117,947,181,460 (=₩117.95bn / 1,179.5억). Recent sales total (2025 consolidated): ₩2,009,429,144,163 (=₩2,009.43bn) → 5.87% of sales. Large-corporation filer: yes. Exchange mandatory disclosure: yes. Content: discontinue TDI manufacturing and sales business. Reason: exit of a marginal/unprofitable business (한계사업 정리). Future measures (company): improve profitability / corporate and shareholder value. Stated impact (company): profitability improvement from exiting the marginal business. Suspension effective date: 2026-12-18 (may move with progress). Board resolution: 2026-09-29 (4 independent directors present / 0 absent; auditor present). Notes: suspension amount and recent sales are YE2025 consolidated figures. Companion halt filing rcpNo 20260929800185 / dcmNo 11593365: material-disclosure trading halt 2026-09-29 10:58 → 11:28 KST (~30 min); reason important-disclosure (영업정지); KRX Disclosure Reg.

What: Mid-session OCI board resolved to discontinue its TDI manufacturing and sales line, booking a ₩117.95bn suspension face (5.87% of 2025 consolidated sales / ~17.2% of live mcap) with an effective date around 18 Dec 2026, framed as exiting a marginal business for profitability; KRX halted the stock 10:58–11:28 for the material disclosure. Why mixed: Management's own reason is cleanup of an unprofitable line (restructuring / margin positive), but the form permanently removes ~5.9% of consol sales with no disclosed exit gain, charge, or residual P&L — and the tape already printed −4.0% into the halt (first vote is sales-loss fear, not a celebration). This is not a regulator-forced company-wide ban (Daeyang class). Why 3-8%: 5.87% of sales plus a KRX material halt on a ~₩685bn KOSPI name is mid-band; refuse 8%+ because it is a selective product-line exit dated Dec, not a same-day credit hole or whole-firm stop; refuse 1-3% because the halt + live mid-single move show more than noise. Sales-% is disclosure materiality, not the price band (sales%≠band rule). Why p≈32%: The 11:28 resume single-price auction is the real leftover window (SNT Motive halt class); live already −4.02% at the session low into the halt spends part of a 3-8% band, so leftover is two-way resume risk (~32%), not a clean unused short.
Memory semiconductor supply PO to Alliance Memory (US) — face ₩19.24bn ($14.15m) = 35.8% of 2025 sales / ~7.9% mcap; due-on-receipt; thru 28 Feb 2027
2026-09-29 10:34 KST: Fidelix (피델릭스, 032580, KOSDAQ) filed a single sales·supply contract (단일판매ㆍ공급계약체결). Content: memory semiconductor supply (메모리반도체 공급). Conditional contract: no. Contract amount: ₩19,244,000,000 (=₩19.244bn / 192.44억) — form FX note: USD 14,150,000.00 at first mid ₩1,360.00/USD on 2026-09-29. Recent sales (YE2025 standalone): ₩53,615,518,212 (=₩53.62bn) → 35.8% of sales. Counterparty: Alliance Memory, Inc. — unlisted; main business semiconductor sales; relation "-"; same-type contracts performed in last 3 years: yes. Region: overseas (US). Period: 2026-09-29 → 2027-02-28 (end may move by mutual agreement). Advance/down payment: none (무). Payment: Due on receipt (cash at delivery). Production: outsourced (fabless; 자체생산 미해당 / 외주생산 해당). Contract/award date: 2026-09-29 (= PO receipt date). Disclosure reserve: none. rcpNo 20260929900153 / dcmNo 11593282 confirmed on DART HTML viewer (피델릭스 matches).

What: Mid-session Fidelix disclosed a US memory-semiconductor supply purchase order from Alliance Memory for ₩19.24bn ($14.15m at ₩1,360), equal to 35.8% of 2025 standalone sales and ~7.9% of live mcap, with due-on-receipt cash and delivery through 28 Feb 2027; the company is fabless (outsourced) and has done same-type deals with this counterparty in the last three years. Why up: A named US memory distributor PO at more than a third of last-year sales is real near-term revenue visibility on a thin KOSDAQ fabless name — not an affiliate restatement and not a soft IR. Why 3-8%: Face/mcap ~8% plus 35.8% of sales clears mid-band, but there is zero advance and cash only on delivery over ~5 months, so refuse 8%+ (Eco&Dream / materials-PO no-advance class). Refuse 1-3%: sales- and mcap-material on a ~₩244bn name. Why p≈16%: Session high already +9.70% (top of the 3-8% band) with live +5.14% ~4 min after the 10:34 stamp — leftover is autopsy / don't-chase, not unused alpha.
Cancel 8.33m treasury shares (25.0% of OS) ~13 Oct — face ₩248.4bn at prior close; capital unchanged; halt 10:28–10:58 for ≥10% cancel
2026-09-29 10:28 KST: SNT Dynamics (SNT다이내믹스, 003570, KOSPI) filed a stock-cancellation decision (주식소각결정). Cancel common shares: 8,334,579; preferred: 0. Pre-cancel issued common: 33,252,697 (preferred 0). Par listed ₩2,500/sh. Cancel face (소각예정금액): ₩248,370,454,200 (=₩248.37bn / 2,483.7억) — form says prior-business-day close basis (₩29,800/sh → 8,334,579×₩29,800). Acquisition method: already-held treasury (기취득 자기주식); no new buyback window (start/end "-"). Cancel scheduled date: 2026-10-13 (may slip with admin). Board resolution: 2026-09-29 (1 outside director present; auditor present). FTC filing: not applicable. Notes: Commercial Act Art. 343(1) board cancel of held treasury — issued share count falls but capital stock does not; post-cancel common will be 24,918,118; this filing also stands in for a treasury-disposal disclosure. Companion halt filing rcpNo 20260929800141 / dcmNo 11593314: material-disclosure trading halt 2026-09-29 10:28 → 10:58 KST; reason "stock cancel ≥10%"; KRX Disclosure Reg.

Mon 28 cash closed ₩29,500 (+13.24%).
What: Mid-session SNT Dynamics board resolved to cancel 8.33m already-held treasury shares (25.0% of the 33.25m outstanding) on ~13 Oct for a ₩248.4bn face at the ₩29,800 prior close, leaving capital stock unchanged and cutting post-cancel common to 24.92m; KRX halted the name 10:28–10:58 for a ≥10% cancel. Why up: Destroying a quarter of the share count without issuing new equity is mechanically EPS- and BPS-accretive and tightens free float — the exchange halt threshold itself marks this as a size event, not an IR notice. Why 3-8%: Face is ~25% of mcap / 25% of OS, which would clear 8%+ on a fresh buyback, but call-rules treat treasury cancel of already-held shares as an admin stamp with no new cash return (move often already on the first buyback print); Mon already ran +13.24%, so refuse 8%+. Refuse 1-3%: a ≥10% exchange halt on a 25% OS cancel is too large for a 1-3% band. Why p≈35%: Halt lift at 10:58 still leaves an unused post-halt cash window today, but haircut hard for (1) treasury/admin class, (2) Mon +13% front-run risk, and (3) live already −3.4% into the halt (opposite-side tape vs a clean UP leftover).
MFDS Phase-3 plan APPROVAL for Lu-177 DGUL (Pocuvotide) in mCRPC — 150 pts; applied 30 Jun, approved 28 Sep
2026-09-29 07:38 KST: Cellbion (셀비온, 308430, KOSDAQ) filed an ad-hoc fair disclosure — investment-judgment major matter (clinical-trial plan approval etc.). Title: multicenter, open-label, randomized Phase-3 clinical-trial plan APPROVAL evaluating efficacy and safety of Lutetium(177Lu) DGUL (Pocuvotide tetraxetan) in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Stage: Phase 3. Approving authority: MFDS (식품의약품안전처). Country: Korea. Sites: multicenter (Seoul National University Hospital etc.). Indication: mCRPC. Application date: 2026-06-30. Approval/decision date: 2026-09-28. Registration No.: 20260131137. Primary objective: rPFS of BSC/SoC + Lu-177 DGUL vs BSC/SoC alone (BICR, PCWG3 modified RECIST v1.1). Design: 150 subjects 1:1 randomized; Lu-177 DGUL q6w ×4 (up to +2 = max 6); cross-over allowed after radiographic progression in control arm. Trial period: ~36 months from IRB approval; expected end 2030-01-31. Fact date / confirmation: 2026-09-28 (= MFDS approval notice date). Risk notes on form: ~10% historical drug-approval odds; commercial plans may change. Related prior: 2026-06-30 Phase-3 plan APPLICATION filing. rcpNo 20260929900003 / dcmNo 11593074 confirmed on DART HTML viewer (셀비온 matches). Live at enrich (Naver 308430 @2026-09-29 ~08:10 KST, PREOPEN): last/prev-close ₩14,790 (Mon 28 close); shares 12,905,251; mcap ≈ ₩1,909억 (₩190.9bn).
What: Overnight Cellbion disclosed MFDS approval of its Korea Phase-3 plan for Lu-177 DGUL (Pocuvotide) in mCRPC — 150-patient multicenter open randomized add-on vs BSC/SoC, applied 30 Jun and approved 28 Sep, with ~36-month run to a 2030-01-31 expected end. Why up: Phase-3 CTA/plan approval is real pipeline progression for a radiopharma name whose lead asset just cleared the regulatory gate to start pivotal dosing — not an affiliate restatement and not a soft IR guide. Why 3-8%: This is plan approval to start Phase 3, not a CSR/efficacy win (Inventera class is hotter); Jun-30 application already telegraphed the calendar, and the form itself cites ~10% historical approval odds — refuse 8%+ binary-shock. Refuse 1-3%: on a ~₩191bn KOSDAQ biotech into a clean pre-open window the tape can still clear mid-band. Why p≈40%: Stamp 07:38 KST into the 09:00 auction is unused leftover (pre-open rule); haircut for telegraphed Jun application and for biotech gap two-way risk.
Align Partners court petition to appoint EGM inspector for 8 Oct meeting — control-fight process stamp
2026-09-29 07:32 KST: Gabia (가비아, 079940, KOSDAQ) filed litigation etc. raised/applied (경영권 분쟁 소송). Case name: appointment of inspector (검사인 선임). Case No.: 2026비합10052. Court: Suwon District Court Anyang Branch (수원지방법원 안양지원). Applicant/plaintiff: Align Partners Asset Management Co., Ltd. (얼라인파트너스자산운용주식회사) + 1 other. Respondent: Gabia, Inc. Relief sought: court-appointed inspector to investigate legality of convening procedures and resolution methods for the extraordinary general meeting scheduled 2026-10-08 11:00 (incl. adjourned/continued/changed meetings), covering board convening resolution, notice content, shareholder access, proxy review, voting (incl. confirmation of voting-rights restrictions under Suwon Anyang 2026카합10156), ballot handling, and minutes — inspector fees to be borne by Gabia. Company response: will respond under legal procedures. Application/confirmation dates: 2026-09-28. Related prior: 2026-09-23 EGM convening notice; 2026-08-28 record-date / EGM convening resolution. rcpNo 20260929900001 / dcmNo 11593053 confirmed on DART HTML viewer (가비아 matches). Live at enrich (Naver 079940 @2026-09-29 ~08:10 KST, PREOPEN): last/prev-close ₩40,350 (Mon 28 close); shares 13,420,684; mcap ≈ ₩5,415억 (₩541.5bn).
What: Overnight Gabia disclosed that Align Partners (+1) petitioned the Anyang court (2026비합10052) to appoint an inspector over the 8 Oct EGM’s convening/voting legality — sequel to the Aug-28 EGM resolution and Sep-23 convening notice, and tied to an existing voting-rights restriction case (2026카합10156). Why mixed: A control-fight process stamp that can still whip governance premium or short-covering, but petition ≠ inspector granted ≠ board flip (Mobile Appliance / Gabia-DCK class) — not a clean directional event. Why 1-3%: On a ~₩542bn KOSDAQ name this is incremental process inside a known fight, not a new tender or SPA; refuse mid-single inventing a significant move. Why p≈28%: Pre-open leftover into 09:00 is unused; haircut because the Oct-8 EGM path was already telegraphed since late August.
₩4.0bn third-party placement 4.0m sh @ ₩1,000 (~40% mcap / +19% shares) — Med Investment becomes new largest shareholder
2026-09-29 07:30 KST: MOA Life Plus (모아라이프플러스, 142760, KOSDAQ) filed a material report — decision on paid-in capital increase (유상증자결정). New common shares: 4,000,000; par ₩1,000. Pre-deal issued common: 21,083,490. Method: third-party allotment (제3자배정증자). Purpose: operating funds ₩4,000,000,000 (=₩4.0bn / 40억). Issue price: ₩1,000/sh. Reference price: ₩478 (min of 1m/1w/latest WASP simple avg vs latest WASP). Premium vs reference: form lists 할증율 209.2% (issue = 209.2% of ₩478 reference; Commercial Act Art. 330 par floor when discounted calc < par). Allottee: Med Investment Partnership (메드투자조합) 4,000,000 sh — relationship "-"; GP/100% LP Choi Jae-in (최재인); partnership property ₩10,000,000; funding via capital + borrowings. Pay-in: 2026-10-14. Dividend start: 2026-01-01. Listing scheduled: 2026-11-04. Board: 2026-09-28 (outside directors blank; auditor absent). Securities registration statement: exempt (1-year mandatory holding on all new shares). Notes: on pay-in completion the largest shareholder will change to Med Investment Partnership; schedule may slip with regulators. Use of proceeds: operating funds ₩2.0bn in 2026 + ₩2.0bn in 2027. rcpNo 20260928000396 / dcmNo 11593008 confirmed on DART HTML viewer (주식회사 모아라이프플러스 matches).

What: Overnight MOA Life Plus board-approved a ₩4.0bn third-party placement of 4.0m common @ ₩1,000 (par floor; ~19% of 21.08m shares / ~40% of the ~₩9.9bn mcap) to Med Investment Partnership, with pay-in 14 Oct / list 4 Nov, 1-year lockup, and explicit largest-shareholder flip to Med on pay-in. Why mixed: Control-bid cash at a large premium to the ₩471 last is real (Artist Studio / Nexa / K3I class), but +19% share count + opaque ₩10m-property partnership buyer + listing overhang is the other leg — not a clean UP. Why 8%+: Face is ~40% of a ₩10bn microcap with a stated control change — overnight gap/volatility class, not a 1-3% grind. "8%+" here is volatility band, not one-way drift. Why p≈42%: Pre-open 07:30→09:00 leftover is unused; haircut for thin-name two-way whip and for a possible prior Sep-16 2m-share raise path already in the narrative.
₩150bn funding-support guarantee for M-Park SPC (17% equity / ~43% mcap) — affiliate liquidity path TBD
2026-09-28 16:00 KST: Dongwha Enterprise (동화기업, 025900, KOSDAQ) filed a decision on debt guarantee for others (타인에대한채무보증결정). Debtor: Park DB First Co., Ltd. (파크디비제일차 주식회사) — relationship: none (SPC set up for this loan ABL/securitization). Creditor: DB Securities Co., Ltd. (디비증권). Debt (borrowed) amount: ₩150,000,000,000 (=₩150.0bn / 1,500억). Guarantee amount: ₩150,000,000,000 (=₩150.0bn) — funding-support (자금보충) obligation; on default, conditional assumption of SPC loan principal/interest to lenders. Equity on the form (2025 YE consolidated): ₩880,173,716,773 (=₩880.17bn) → guarantee/equity 17.04%. Large-corporation filer: yes. Guarantee period: 2026-09-30 → 2028-09-30 (may move with amortization). Total guarantee balance: ₩612,386,171,400 (=₩612.39bn). Board / decision date: 2026-09-28 (1 outside director present; auditor present). Notes: loan funds Park-DB-First so it can on-lend to affiliate M-Park (엠파크); M-Park proceeds are intended as Dongwha parent liquidity, but method/size not yet decided; FX for foreign guarantees uses Hana first mid on 2026-09-28; debtor is new SPC so summary financials blank. rcpNo 20260928900439 / dcmNo 11592343 confirmed on DART HTML viewer (동화기업 matches).

After-hours over ≈ ₩6,900 (+2.53%).
What: After the cash close Dongwha Enterprise approved a ₩150bn (=17% of YE2025 equity / ~43% of ~₩347bn mcap) funding-support guarantee so SPC Park DB First can finance affiliate M-Park, with proceeds notionally earmarked for Dongwha parent liquidity (structure/size still unset), lifting total guarantees to ₩612bn. Why mixed: Credit/guarantee stamps are stronger than backlog, and a path to parent liquidity is real — but this is contingent funding-support plus conditional debt assumption on a related-party loop, not new booked cash. Why 1-3%: Face/mcap is large (EcoPlastic/Namkwang class), yet contingent ≠ same-session cash hole; cut the band vs a clean equity raise. Why p≈25%: After-close so overnight is the product; tape only +2.1%/high +4.6% leaves most of a 1-3% band unused, haircut for shrug-risk on affiliate guarantee optics.

Live at enrich (Naver 069260 @2026-09-28 ~16:06 KST, after cash close): close ₩17,740 (+1,540 / +9.51% vs prev ₩16,200); open ₩16,170; high ₩19,310 (+19.20%); low ₩16,120; vol 294,926; mcap ≈ ₩7,203억 (₩720.3bn); face/mcap ≈ 46.9%. After-hours over ≈ ₩17,760 (+9.63%).
What: After the cash close TKG Huchems disclosed a ₩337.8bn (=30% of YE2025 sales / ~47% of ~₩720bn mcap) nitric-acid offtake for BKP’s Kalimantan ammonium-nitrate plant, sized off 180kt/y × Aug-2026 feedstock, running 31 Mar 2029 → 30 Mar 2039, with zero advance and L/C payment — board dated 23 Sep and held under secrecy until today. Why up: Named multi-year chemical offtake into a new regional AN train is real volume visibility the tape can capitalize, not an affiliate restatement. Why 1-3%: Face clears every size bar, but first cash is ~2.5y out with no down payment — HMM/long-duration class, not an 8%+ near-term fuel print (sales % ≠ price band). Why p≈20%: After-close so overnight→09:00 is the product, but same-day cash already +9.5%/high +19.2% before the stamp (leak-or-unrelated) cuts unused leftover hard.
₩16.5bn 100% buy of Green Pack (cosmetics PE-tube maker) — ~78% of mcap / ~41% equity; deposit today, ₩12.5bn cash by 28 Oct, ₩4bn earnout
2026-09-28 15:42 KST: Digi.I (디지아이, 043360, KOSDAQ) filed a material report — decision to acquire shares/equity of another corporation (타법인주식및출자증권양수결정). Target: Green Pack Co., Ltd. (그린팩); nationality Korea; CEO Cheon Hyo-man (천효만); capital ₩700,000,000; issued shares 70,000; main business: cosmetics plastic/tube molding equipment manufacture. Relation on form: largest shareholder (of target). No 3rd-party new-share buy in prior 6 months. Acquire: 70,000 shares (100%) for ₩16,500,000,000 (=₩16.5bn / 165억). Digi.I total assets (YE2025 K-IFRS): ₩43,764,106,692 → face/assets 37.70%. Digi.I equity: ₩40,303,244,481 → face/equity 40.94%. Post-deal ownership: 70,000 shares / 100.00%. Purpose: enter cosmetics PE-tube manufacturing via control. Share-transfer scheduled date: 2026-09-28. Sellers: Cheon Hyo-man 60,300 sh / ₩14,936,250,000; Lee Myeong-ju (이명주) 9,500 / ₩1,530,000,000; Cheon A-reum (천아름) 200 / ₩33,750,000.

Funding: own cash and bank borrowings. External fairness opinion: Hanmi Accounting (2026-08-24→09-23); DCF equity value ₩14,203m–₩18,706m; deal ₩16,500m inside range — not found unfair.

What: After the cash close Digi.I (043360) board-approved buying 100% of Green Pack (cosmetics PE-tube maker) for ₩16.5bn (= ~78% of ~₩21.1bn mcap / ~41% of YE2025 equity / ~77% of Digi YE2025 sales), with ₩1.25bn deposit today, ₩11.25bn on 28 Oct, and ₩4bn contingent 2027–2031 earnout; share transfer dated 28 Sep; funded by cash+bank debt; Hanmi DCF ₩14.2–18.7bn brackets the price. Why mixed: Real control + new vertical at a fairness-bracketed price, but transformative cash/debt outlay vs a still-lossy Digi balance sheet, target prior qualified audit, and multi-year earnout — not a clean bullish order print. Why 8%+: Face ≫ mcap on a ₩21bn / 15k-ADV name is overnight shock class, not mid-single-digit. Why p≈40%: After-close with tape unused (−0.43%) so next open is the window; haircut for funding/earnout/Silla ignore-risk on debt-funded microcap M&A.

MiniMax launches M3.1-Flash-Preview text/coding model into public testing
Mon 28 Sep: MiniMax began public testing of M3.1-Flash-Preview — native multimodal, ~1M-token context, aimed at bug-fix through full feature work; some developers linked it to the anonymous “Space Bunny” model that topped OpenRouter/OpenCode usage over Mid-Autumn.
Why it matters: Hard rank-a China AI ship print inside Tue age-cut — keeps MiniMax in the ship-often race vs DeepSeek/Kimi/Zhipu/Qwen; supportive HK/China AI beta, not a same-session 000660 earnings catalyst.
DeepSeek publishes DSec agent-training sandbox paper (Liang Wenfeng on author list)
Mon 28 Sep: DeepSeek + Tsinghua released DeepSeek Elastic Compute (DSec) tech report — production sandbox infra behind V3.2→V4.1 agent training; ~3M sandboxes/day, peak concurrency >380k, create >5k/s; Liang ranked last among 130+ authors.
Why it matters: Hard rank-a DeepSeek infra/agent-stack signal — constructive China frontier-lab tape; reinforces AI-compute demand narrative that still coexists with Mon KR chip risk-off.
ByteDance grabs about one-fifth of China’s data-centre capacity as AI drives infra boom
Mon 28 Sep SCMP: ByteDance estimated to control ~20% of mainland data-centre capacity amid AI training/inference buildout — largest single-tenant color in China DC scramble.
Why it matters: Hard rank-a China AI infra demand — supportive HSI AI/data-centre beta and NVDA-China adjacency; pairs with Mon KR selloff narrative on AI-capex timing risk (two-way).
Chinese chip foundry CanSemi’s IPO oversubscribed 2,360× as investors chase AI boom
Mon 28 Sep SCMP: CanSemi (China domestic foundry) IPO books oversubscribed ~2,360 times — retail/institutional chase of AI-linked semiconductor capacity names on the mainland listing calendar.
Why it matters: Soft-hard China chip/AI listing froth — supportive China semi beta; contrast with Mon KRX foreign dump of Samsung/Hynix (risk appetite split Asia vs KR large-cap memory).
KOSPI −2.70% to 6,889.74 as foreigners dump ~₩3tn Samsung + SK hynix
Mon 28 Sep first cash after Chuseok: KOSPI 6,889.74 (−191.18 / −2.70%); KOSDAQ 846.58 (+0.25%). Samsung ₩270,000 (−5.43%); SK hynix ₩1,768,000 (−5.05%). Foreigners net sold ₩3.24tn on KOSPI incl. ₩1.73tn Hynix + ₩1.38tn Samsung. Drivers cited: US long yields (10y >5.2% / 30y >5.5%), AI data-centre delay concerns, Solidigm IPO dilution talk.
Why it matters: Hard session print for 000660/005930/KOSPI into Tue open — foreign flow + rates/AI-capex narrative set the overnight leftover; Tue PREOPEN Hynix flat-ish (+0.06% over) vs Samsung soft (−0.93% over).

Tue 29 Sep Yonhap (event Mon NY): Jensen Huang awarded Korea Society Van Fleet Award for Korea–US AI/semi partnership; Samsung Chairman Lee Jae-yong and SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won attended the gala.
Why it matters: Soft NVDA–Korea diplomatic/industrial color — supportive narrative adjacency for 000660/005930/NVDA, not a same-session cash catalyst into Tue auction.
Strong AI demand prompts Hong Kong trade body to raise export growth forecast
Mon 28 Sep SCMP: HK trade body lifts export growth outlook citing strong AI-related demand — rare upward revision color for HK goods trade into AI cycle.
Why it matters: Soft constructive HSI/HK trade-AI beta — pairs with Mon HSI +0.54% while KRX chip large-caps sold off.
BOK: September business sentiment slips from nearly four-year high on rising costs
Tue 29 Sep: BOK Composite Business Sentiment Index 99.1 in Sep (−0.5pt m/m) after Aug 102 peak since Sep 2022; manufacturers 99.5 (from 103.8); non-manufacturing improved. Reading <100 = pessimists > optimists.
Why it matters: Soft Korea macro color into Tue cash — mild headwind vs chip-beta, not a direct Hynix filing; contrasts Sun KCCI Q4 BSI improvement story (outside age-cut).

2026-09-29 07:48 HKT / 2026-09-29 08:48 KST · Home unavailable. Sentiment mixed, medium. Morning since 22:00 HKT: n_new=3. Showing NEW + key PRIOR (eve/AM demoted).
Samsung Foundry 2nm (SF2) yield reportedly ~60% (from mid-50s); focus shifting to performance-per-watt / SF2P; Tesla 2nm supply framed as springboard for more big-tech wins. TSMC still ~72.5% foundry share vs Samsung ~5.9%.
Implication: Constructive 005930 Foundry narrative into Tue KR — yield/maturity color vs Mon cash −5.43%; not a volume/earnings print but soft support for foundry optionality (pairs with prior QCOM–Samsung 2nm).
ANTHROPIC TO SPEND $518B ON CLOUD, INFRASTRUCTURE IN 2027.
Implication: Very large constructive AI-capex / cloud demand signal into Asia morning — extends evening Anthropic contracted-value >$180bn print; supportive NVDA/TSM/000660 complex, against Mon KR “AI DC delay” sell narrative.
AJ: Nvidia increased share buyback by $150bn — now by far the largest buyback in the market; claim that a prior “unlock largest buyback” call came true; NVDA +30% since that subscriber note.
Implication: Constructive NVDA capital-return / confidence signal on Y-list NVDA — US-hours confirmation color; not KR cash alpha into 09:00.
Samsung Electro-Mechanics (009150) to invest ₩4.27tn (~$4.4bn / 43.6% equity) in FC-BGA package-substrate capacity through May 2028; Vietnam sub factory expansion ₩2.51tn.
Implication: Constructive SEMCO/advanced packaging tape — pairs with afternoon MLCC tightness; KR components capacity build still the evening lead.
NVIDIA: Anthropic’s reported contracted value exceeds $180bn.
Implication: Large constructive NVDA AI-demand/backlog signal into US hours — reinforces foundry/HBM pull (TSM/000660 complex) alongside afternoon SKHY Japan fab.
$TSM affiliate VIS inaugurated Singapore advanced chip plant (sold out); power/analog/auto-industrial; also supports TSMC interposers; second fab eyed.
Implication: Soft constructive TSM ecosystem / specialty-foundry capacity (legacy+interposer) — not HBM core but supports AI packaging chain.
Meta launching Meta Enterprise Platform as next major AI business pillar (superintelligence framing).
Implication: META AI monetization narrative — constructive optionality on Y-list META; execution/spend vs margin still open.
AJ: Xpeng FSD already looks better than Tesla FSD v12.5; Xpeng could reach today’s Tesla FSD level in <2 years if pace holds.
Implication: Adds to TSLA caution stack (with EU share ATL PRIOR) — FSD competitive gap vs China OEM narrative.
PRIOR (aft): Korean media — SK Hynix begun foundation work for Japan fab ($SKHY).
Implication: 000660/SKHY capacity narrative still intact into Tue KR open.
PRIOR (aft): MLCC supply situation worsening.
Implication: Pairs with evening SEMCO FC-BGA capex — components tightness/build theme.
PRIOR (AM): TSMC 2nm bookings up 10–20%; wafer capacity pull-forward to ~120k/mo by YE26.
Implication: Still lead constructive TSM/AI foundry signal; pairs with evening VIS Singapore fab.
Xinhua Amsterdam road test: XPENG and Tesla intellig driving both smooth on canals/trams/bikes ($XPEV).
