Mars Finance News: On July 6, Goldman Sachs’ latest research report said that the upward trend in Korea’s stock market in the second half of the year is expected to expand from AI memory leaders such as Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix into more industries including energy, raw materials, and industrial manufacturing. Overseas capital is gradually positioning across the upstream and downstream of the AI industry chain and other independent investment opportunities.

In response to market skepticism about whether Korean stocks are in a bubble, Goldman Sachs believes that the increase in current margin trading balances is mainly due to the rise in the net asset value of leveraged ETFs, rather than new borrowing by investors. Korean residents’ assets are still mainly in real estate, cash, and overseas stocks, and the domestic stock market still has room for additional capital inflows.

Goldman Sachs expects that the overall net profit of Korean companies will grow by approximately 320% year over year in 2026, and that the growth rate will remain around 35% in 2027. It maintains a 12-month target of 12,000 points for the Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI). This implies more than 20% upside from current levels, though it expects market volatility to increase further going forward.
