Kangwon Land (035250 KS) Surge in Chinese tourists expected for winter ski season Entertainment 3Q preview: VIP normalization to drive solid growth Following capacity additions, Kangwon Land’s casino earnings indicators (table turnover, Earnings Preview drop per head, etc.) have continuously improved, with the exception of the number of October 7, 2014 general visitors, which has been falling due to an admissions price hike (from W5,000 to W7,500). For 3Q, we project Kangwon Land’s overall revenue to come in at W408bn (+9% YoY), (Maintain) Buy driven by a 10% YoY rise in casino revenue . We estimate 3Q operating profit rose 13.5% YoY.

SK Hynix (000660 KS/Buy) Don’t overreact to SEC’s plant announcement Technology SEC unveils plan to invest W15.6tr in new chip plant by 2017 DRAM overcapacity worries are overblown: 1) SEC has not yet decided what it will News Comment produce at the new facility, and 2) production is not expected to begin until 2H17 October 7, 2014 Maintain Buy and TP of W57,000 on SK Hynix; Buy on dips Daewoo Securities CCo.,o., Ltd. What’s new: SEC unveils plan to invest W15.6tr in new chip plant by 2017 [Semiconductor] On October 6 th , Samsung Electronics (SEC) announced plans to build a new W15.6tr chip manufacturing plant in the Pyeongtaek industrial complex by 2017. The company will make Will Cho +822-768-4306 the investment more than a year earlier than originally planned, which we believe was a [email protected] response not only to growing chip demand, but also to government policies to spur investment. The plant is expected to break ground in 1H15 and commence production in Joon-ho Jang +822-768-3241 2H17. Neither the type of chips to be produced at the new plant nor its capacity has yet been [email protected] determined. We expect these decisions to be made after 2H15. Our view: DRAM overcapacity worries overblown SK Hynix shares plunged 5.1% on the day of SEC’s announcement. The news sparked concerns that DRAM chip makers, led by SEC, will resume their investment cycles, and that the subsequent rise in capacity will push down prices. However, we believe worries over DRAM overcapacity are overblown. First, SEC has not yet decided what types of chips it will produce at the new line. Second, the production schedule (2H17) suggests SEC does not plan to aggressively ramp up DRAM capacity, but is rather making more of a medium- to long-term move to prepare for increasing demand. As evidence, we note the measured pace at which SEC has been converting its new S3 line (Line 17) to DRAM production. We believe SEC’s focus is not to aggressively expand market share, but to maximize profits by taking a more flexible approach to the use of its production lines.
