Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
<li>In this insight, we summarized NWD’s FY2023 results.  We think the gearing and balance sheet, the biggest concern that market has, has been clearly addressed</li>
<li>NWD has announced disposal of its stake in NWS, and will have more corporate actions to come.  The dividend expectation is reset</li>
<li>We view most of the negatives are priced in at current valuation.  NWD is much better than a Chinese developer, and should not be trading at 0.19x PB</li>

Should the nominated directors, to be voted on by EOFlow (294090 KS)'s shareholders at the November EGM, include Medtronic Plc (MDT US) executives, then game on.

Fast Retailing (9983 JP) STILL has a Nikkei 225 problem, which means it probably has to underperform Nikkei 225 slightly between now and the Base Date (31 July 2024).

JMDC (4483 JP) has been one of the more annoying partial tenders out there. Even post-facto, it is tough to know what the disposition was. This is extraordinarily vexing.
