JPMorgan Chase & Co has raised its targets for South Korean stocks, increasing the base target for the Kospi to 9,000 and the bull-case target to 10,000, reflecting a 33% upside from the previous close. This adjustment is driven by improvements in the semiconductor cycle and corporate governance reforms. The Kospi has surged 86% year-to-date, making it one of the top-performing indices globally. However, concerns about potential corrections are emerging as the market shows signs of overheating, with a narrow breadth of stock performance.
