AI summary
Commentator Yoon Ji-ho believes that volatility in AI-related companies from quarter 4 of 2026 through the first half of 2027 can provide an opportunity to prepare for the broadening of demand in 2028, but emphasizes that actual cash generation must support this outlook. If AI services make money and hyperscalers’ free cash flow improves, investment opportunities could broaden into memory, power, nuclear power, and physical AI. Conversely, he also raises the risk that if data center investment costs and borrowing rates keep rising while monetization is delayed, some companies could face funding difficulties and the cycle could be interrupted. His view is that rather than concentrating a portfolio solely in AI-related stocks, investors should also hold financial stocks that pay stable dividends and high-quality companies with strong cash generation, check quarter 3 earnings and listing and refinancing schedules, and approach purchases in stages during corrections.
