0234 GMT - The selloff in ADRs of Korean companies is unlikely to continue after South Korea's surprise brief period of martial law, says Lorraine Tan, regional director at Morningstar, in a note. The short-lived martial law declaration highlights that political risks and leadership issues remain a factor in South Korea, Tan says. Morningstar maintains its fair value estimates for South Korean companies under its coverage, as it sees the situation as a short-term event. "We think share price weakness is an opportunity to buy selectively," Tan says. SK Hynix is preferred as it benefits from artificial intelligence-related server demand, Tan adds. (amanda.lee@wsj.com)
