025560.KS has recently become unfrozen for foreign investment. Just made it my largest position by far. Still trades at like 1/4th the valuation of its nearest comp TechWing. Mirae is now 1/3rd of my IBKR allocation, 1/6th of my liquid allocation and 1/10th of my total NW.

China Memory Capex go brrr Another 15B won order on June 1 for $025560.KS Mirae Corp Test handlers Q2 Started March 31st Since then they have announced 37B KRW in contracts so far in Q2 06/01 15.4B KRW (Yiling) 5/27/26 3.6B KRW (direct order from YMTC) 5/20/26 2.6B KRW (SK hynix) 5/20/26 4B KRW (SK hynix) 5/13/26 8B KRW (Unimos) 4/29/26 3.8B KRW (Yiling) *Unimos is assembly and test arm for YMTC *Yiling inferred to be a trading intermediary for YMTC and CXMT To put this into context - Full Year 2025 revenue was 50B KRW they have almost met that in one quarter Q126 - revenues were 21B KRW - EBIT was 4.9B KRW ~24% ebit margins They are about to hit 100% QoQ revenue growth Applying a 25% ebit margin to the 37B KRW in orders so far gets us 9.25B KRW in ebit in Q2 alone You are getting all of this profitability and growth for only ~160B KRW market cap with the current share price at 36,000 KRW If we take Q1 ebit 5B KRW + Q2 ebit 9.25B KRW + Assume Q3 and Q4 ebit stays the same as Q2 (18.5B KRW) = 33B KRW EBIT 5x forward ebit multiple for a company whose Q2 revenue growth was 100% QoQ Is this cycle peak profitability or durable revenue/earnings growth? Everything related to memory is cyclical we know this. But is the market pricing the reality of the current cycle. I don't think so. CXMT CXMT recently filed for an IPO in December last year, seeking to raise 29.5 billion yuan (approx. $4.2 billion) CXMT is expanding its Shanghai fab, aiming for two to three times the capacity of Hefei headquarters. With equipment installation in late 2026 and mass production starting in 2027. Longer term, the company plans to expand capacity to 300,000 wafers/month by year-end and beyond 400,000 thereafter using IPO proceeds. + YMTC investing in expanding NAND manufacturing Its Wuhan campus plans include a new facility where an estimated half of production will target DRAM. YMTC is fast-tracking the Wuhan Phase III NAND fab, bringing its mass production target forward to the second half of 2026, roughly a year ahead of the original 2027 schedule.  The Phase III project broke ground in September 2025 under an operating entity established with registered capital of CNY 20.72 billion (~US$2.98 billion) Phase III will reach 50,000 wafers/month by 2027 and 100,000 wafers/month at full capacity.  Beyond Phase III, three sources told Reuters the company aims to add two more fabs of equivalent scale. + SK HYNIX planning to double wafer capacity by 2030 Memory Capex is expected to go on for another 3 years minimum. With Mirae at 5x forward ev/ebit they will earn almost the entire market cap in cash flow over the next handful of years. 8x forward ev/ebit = 260B KRW / 4.5 m = 58K/shr 10x forward ev/ebit = 330B KRW / 4.5m = 70K/shr 12x forward ev/ebit = 360B KRW / 4.5m = 80k/shr I AM LONG MIRAE. NFA.

I have exited $DELL entirely and rotated into more $HPE $FLEX I think HPE deserves even higher multiple than DELL to be honest, while currently they are at around half the forward earnings multiple of Dell.

Kinda wild how wrong most energy experts were about the Straits of Hormuz. What were the root causes of the error? China had more reserves than anticipated, US flexed up exports faster and more ships were actually transiting the straits via the Omani route? Genuinely curious.

$BWEN hitting $4.50! @ThematicTrader and I wrote it up below $4. Still has a long way to go with the way OEMs are scaling.

Still don’t like anything more than Mirae, SK Inc and WUS PCB. Mirae is clean torque no NAV or pref dislocation Chinese dram exposure order book doubling etc. SK Inc I like because of treasury share cancellation, SK square value up and SK Hynix US ADR listing. Three engines of value catalyst realization. $2316.TW WUS PCB now has two activists trying to close the 80% discount to NAV and company plans on English investor materials release more regular reporting likely and detailed NAV calculation. The other names are statistically cheap specifically Daeduck Electronics 2PB prefs as well as Korea Circuit prefs but no clear way for value gap to close. Could be worth a small swing though. The rest are not as cheap as the above names and/or have even less prospects of market price to value dislocation closing.

I sold $DELL around $450ish and $MRVL around $315 ish I believe $MRVL is a wonderful company, but pumping 50% in one day on ceo comment was hard to resist to sell. If $MRVL goes down more I will consider buying back I Personally do not favor memory sector but $MU looked juicy so I bought more. There is tons of insider buying in $NOK I am confident that this is a buy signal. $AAOI , $SIVE seems very promising, so I bought more. $CIEN had a wonderful Quarter but it dropped so I initiated a position.

They liquidated their MBS portfolio to become more of an capital-light asset manager. First to fund TJIM but those mark to markets on that portfolio likely to go away. Granted I think they want to use cash flow to do buybacks and rebuild that portfolio (which I hope they don't and acquire more asset managers for fee income). I don't see why this should not trade at 10x $1 EPS. Once $ORC starts issuing again this EPS could again grow massively. Then I don't think a 10x is fair.

Not cyclical anymore! They now mainly earn money on $ORC equity. This is likely not going to go down as $ORC earnings are directly proportional to the equity they can deploy, in fact they have been issuing aggressively. They also now own TJIM another asset manager that is not cyclical. In fact, earnings I expect to only go up. Only thing egregious is exec comp but it's whatever I'll take my 2.5x future earnings. They are not the mREIT they used to be.

@JRambo0810 @DimitryNakhla Growth decaying at 2% a year, assuming that's held to perpetuity with negative growth, I estimate ballpark fair value is close to 10x FCF. I want better than fair value so 5x FCF. (This is all less semrush)

Honestly, activists hopping on and pressuring the board is a great great first start. I think you'd need more regular investor comms, english comms, a detailed accounting of the hidden NAV. Then you'd need a detailed time bound plan by the board on how they plan to close discount.

For anyone following $2316.TW the biggest question was how and when the value will be unlocked. We now have two activists with 5% of the business owned on board. I think things are looking on the up here: mms.businesswire.com/media/20260615…
