JPMorgan Chase raised its target for South Korean stocks for the second time in less than a month, citing an improving semiconductor cycle, corporate governance reforms, and industrial-sector growth. The call is supportive for Korean equities broadly, with the biggest benefit likely accruing to exporters and chip-related names. The update signals improving fundamentals rather than a single-company catalyst.
