The Fujitec Co Ltd (6406 JP) EGM where activist Oasis Management wanted to spill the independent board members took place Friday.
Results were mixed, but generally a success for Oasis, with 9 of the 13 votes won. Preliminary analysis of "uncertain voter" split interesting, and "Glass Lewis Effect" stronger than expected.
The real shocker, however, was a footnote at the end of the announcement. This could (and should) have further repercussions. 


Fujitec (6406) EGM - It WAS a Close-Run Thing, Glass Lewis Was the Big Winner, and SCANDAL?

Kito Corporation (6409 JP) was taken private in 2003. It was re-IPOed by Carlyle in 2007 but Konecranes stayed an investor until 2016. Then it unwound.
Today, Kito announced the best results since pre-covid and forecasts for growth. They also announced KKR unit Crosby would launch a Tender to buy them out at a 62% premium.
Shareholder structure is highly unusual, and interesting to boot, especially looking at the most recent arrival in the top two. The fact there is a break fee is... telling.


Kito (6409) Goes Private. Again. This Time With KKR, But Watch the Register

Technical and Quantitative Research

Vermilion Research

Vermilion’s objective is to deliver timely, actionable, and unique technical research to professional investors through the application of our various technical indicators.

Our research strategists seek to highlight securities which we believe are at major inflection points, based on our various technical and quantitative indicators, and offer asymmetric risk/return profiles. Our unique research methodology, centered on relative strength, enables our strategists to deliver superior investment recommendations.

Our process begins by organizing the universe of actively traded stocks into discrete sectors, then into industry groups. We then apply our technical and quantitative tools to identify developing price trends. Once attractive trends are identified within a selected sector or group, we screen for individual stocks which we believe offer the best risk/reward profile. We provide a historical perspective that often reveals, through our long-term charts, how price patterns often repeat themselves over time.

Technical Analysis

We believe the S&amp;P 500, STOXX Europe 600, MSCI ACWI ex-U.S., EAFE, and MSCI China are pulling back to support at their prior breakout levels -- levels we believe will hold. Tech remains our favorite Sector globally. Additional attractive cyclical areas in which to add exposure at current levels include Financials in Europe, autos and auto parts stocks, and casinos and gaming in Macau... see report for a technical appraisal of all major markets and a collection of actionable stocks.

Global Equity Strategy: Major Indexes at Logical Support

Our positive outlook on global equities (both the MSCI ACWI and ACWI ex-US) remains intact and we believe a “buy the dip” strategy is warranted. We recommend taking advantage of recent weakness -- where applicable -- by adding exposure to cyclical Sectors. Today’s recommendations focus on autos, auto parts, and machinery which span the Consumer Discretionary and Manufacturing Sectors.
