Today's Top Stock Picks — 2026-05-26

Marcus — May 26, 2026

★★☆☆☆ (2/5) · 05:30 KST · Wait and See

Market Indicators · Fear Index (VIX) 16.59 (-8.14%) · Market Sentiment 25 points (Extreme Fear) · KRW/USD 1,512.18 KRW (+1.33%) · Oil Price (WTI) 96.60 (-10.36%)

Points to Note

  • 🔴 Market Sentiment 25 points — Stuck in the "Extreme Fear" zone, same as yesterday. Risk aversion among foreign and institutional investors is strong, making short-term additional buying difficult.
  • 🔴 KRW/USD 1,512 KRW — Down 8 KRW from 1,520 KRW yesterday, but still in the 1,500 KRW range. Foreign capital outflow pressure persists. While enjoying exchange gains from US stocks (Alphabet, Tesla), new currency conversion remains burdensome.
  • 🟢 Fear Index (VIX) 16.59 (-8.14%) — Decreased further than yesterday, maintaining the stable zone. The degree of price fluctuation is not yet at a dangerous level.

Trend Signal Interpretation Criteria

  • composite_score >= 0.80: Immediate buy consideration (reaction expected within 3-10 trading days)
  • Stocks with multiple converging signals: 3x priority over stocks with single signals
  • Insider buying + foreign net buying simultaneously: Highest priority for consideration
  • dart_insider_buy: DART disclosed executive/major shareholder equity purchase → Strong conviction signal (source_weight 0.95)
  • dart_insider_sell: Executive/major shareholder selling → Caution needed, do not conclude selling solely based on this

Stocks to Watch

Today, as the market is in an inflationary phase, we prioritize sectors strong against inflation such as energy, raw materials, and finance. We selected stocks where foreign and institutional trading shows 5 consecutive days of buying, overlapping with executive purchases.

  1. CNX Resources (CNX, 93 points) — #1 in the energy sector, a strong buy candidate simultaneously exhibiting an oversold index (RSI 31) + close to 52-week low + undervalued with a PER of 5.
