Recent AI-driven semiconductor demand has lifted KOSPI sentiment, with the index surging 4.61% to 6,995.39 on September 7 amid OpenAI’s GPT-6 Astra launch and strong memory-chip export growth. Heavy concentration in Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, which together exceed 55% of market capitalization, ties the index closely to hyperscaler AI spending and earnings revisions projected to surge sharply in 2026. Counterbalancing factors include elevated volatility, foreign net selling, potential U.S. rate hikes at the September FOMC, and competitive pressures from Chinese memory makers. Goldman Sachs’ 12,000 target underscores upside potential through 2027, yet the near-even 53.5% implied probability reflects uncertainty over sustained momentum versus macro and sector-specific risks.
