Market recovery involves more than simply buying oversold stocks, with fundamentals playing a more critical role as pricing drivers. The return of earnings momentum as a key factor indicates that net profit, revenue, and order growth rates are once again serving as benchmarks separating winners from losers across most sectors. This underscores that fundamental performance has become the primary trading focus.
Recent capital inflows have likely been driven primarily by private equity funds and active mutual funds. Among the leading sectors during this rebound, stocks heavily weighted by private equity and active mutual funds have outperformed. This suggests that these two investor groups may be the main sources of incremental funding fueling the recovery.
Demand from overseas markets is also broadening its influence. Beyond the AI supply chain, a high proportion of overseas revenue is emerging as a key investment theme in sectors such as healthcare, home appliances, transportation, and retail. Companies with significant international revenue exposure in these industries are consistently outperforming their peers, highlighting a third key pathway for market recovery in August.
