Movement Alert|CSOP Samsung Electronics Daily (2x) Leveraged Product Falls 6.93% at Open, Korean Stocks Continue Leverage-Driven Selloff as JPMorgan Cuts Samsung Target

Market Focus08-04

On August 4, CSOP Samsung Electronics Daily (2x) Leveraged Product fell 6.93% at open, trading at HKD 62.02, with turnover of HKD 3.163 million.

The decline follows continued weakness in Korean equities driven by leveraged position unwinding. On August 3, Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix each fell over 7% on the Korean KOSPI index, which declined 4% as foreign investors became the largest net sellers. The Korean exchange activated its SIDECAR mechanism, suspending programmatic selling for five minutes.

Morgan Stanley noted that deleveraging in leveraged ETFs linked to Samsung and SK Hynix has reduced AUM by approximately 70% from peak levels. Separately, JPMorgan maintained its Overweight rating on Samsung Electronics but cut its target price from 480,000 to 400,000 KRW, lowering its valuation multiple from 8x to 6x to reflect a storage downcycle narrative. The bank advised investors to accumulate shares on weakness, citing favorable 12-month risk-reward dynamics supported by strong HBM4 progress and long-term supply agreements covering 60%-70% of memory capacity.
