TLDR of my top foreign stocks:
1. Nitto Boseki - T-Glass (Japan)
2. Unimicron - Substrates/Glass Core (Taiwan)
3. Samsung/SK Hynix - HBM (Korea)
4. Kioxia - NAND w/ $SNDK (Japan)
5. Nanya Technologies - Memory (Taiwan)
US supply chains like $INTC (foundry), $MU (memory), or $LPTH (germanium) are typically my longs of preference "Made in America" bottleneck + supply chains. But some of these foreign companies are either critical to the entire AI buildout or capture a lot of the overflow.
If you're wondering how you get access to foreign markets?
- $IBKR
There are US OTC equivalents for companies like Nitto Boseki like $NBCLF. If you're on Robinhood, $EWY / $FLKR provides access to large KR memory exposure.
Some like Nitto Boseki are near monopolies so these are the very rare foreign companies I go out of my way to invest in.
