Tokyo Metro (9023 JP): One Miss; A Bigger Index Inclusion Coming?

By Brian Freitas

  • Tokyo Metro (9023 JP) had a blockbuster listing yesterday, finishing the day 45% higher. That took the estimated div yield down from 3.33% (at the IPO price) to 2.3%.
  • One expected index inclusion will not take place due to insufficient information on IPO allocations and that leads to a much lower free float than expected.
  • That inclusion will now be deferred to June; BUT there could be two other (bigger) index inclusions on the cards prior to that.

Nidec (6594)| Q2 In-Line; Long-Term Outlook Intact

By Mark Chadwick

  • Nidec’s Q2 operating income beat my estimates, driven by strong small motors and appliance segments, though automotive profits underperformed
  • The automotive division is shifting focus from e-axles to broader auto parts, while improving operational efficiency through partnerships and streamlined logistics
  • Despite macro risks, Nidec remains well-positioned for long-term growth in digitalization, decarbonization, and automation, with a price target of ¥4,350

SITC International (1308 HK): Unbeatable

By Osbert Tang, CFA

  • Together with the just-announced HK$0.40 special DPS, SITC International (1308 HK) has already handed back HK$1.12/share to shareholders YTD, realising a dividend yield of 6.5%.
  • Its 3Q24 performance is impressive, with revenue surging 56.6% YoY. Both volume (+13.4%) and average freight rates (+44.1%) have exhibited solid momentum. 
  • While the consensus forecasts have been upgraded by 7-11% since the 1H24 result, there appears more room to go. FY24 ROE is now expected to be 32.2%.

ASR US – Actinver Research – ASUR 3Q24: Positive Results, In line with our estimates (Quick View)

By Actinver

  • Operating Revenues of P$6.8bn were driven by solid aeronautical growth.
  • Total operating sales growth of 14% YoY was driven by a solid 19% YoY gain in aeronautical revenues, mainly explained by higher average tariffs (+22% YoY), which offset the 2% drop in total PAX.
  • On the other hand, non-aeronautical revenues (34% of the total) gained 5% YoY, supported by an implicit gain of 7% YoY in the non-aeronautical revenue per PAX.

Actinver Research – VOLAR 3Q24: Positive Quarterly Results, Beating Our Estimates (Quick View)

By Actinver

  • Operating revenues of US$813 m decreased by 4% YoY.
  • Top-line results were negatively impacted by a 14% YoY contraction in the ASMs (due to mandatory engine inspections, which resulted in the landing on average of 34 airplanes) and a 13% YoY drop in RPMs. Yields in the quarter ended at US$53.0, implying a 9% YoY gain and 7% above our estimate.
  • The load factor in 3Q24 was 87.4%, with a +1.0 pp YoY expansion.

  • The stock starts to trade today, and the grey market is indicating an open 20% higher. Not surprising considering that the IPO was heavily oversubscribed.
  • Even at a price of JPY 1440/share, the estimated dividend yield is 2.78% and that should keep the stock supported. Index inclusions will result in more buying next week.

The Tokyo Metro (9023 JP) IPO And Aftermarket – What To Look For

  • There are numerous attractions but I expect people have not thought too deeply about the demand and supply dynamics of different holder types. It’s worth thinking about. 
  • This was priced “cheap” but everyone knows that so there may be flippers. This is probably more Japan Post Bank than Japan Post Insurance.

  • Since June, the potential adds to the index have outperformed the index and the potential deletes by a big margin. Momentum could keep the outperformance going till implementation date.

New Reorganization Plan Increases Overhang Risk for Doosan Bobcat

By Douglas Kim

  • Our overall assessment of the new reorganization plan by the Doosan Group continues to be Negative, because Doosan has not given up trying to eventually merge Bobcat and Robotics.

  • We have also provided three main recommendations on how to raise the valuation of Doosan Bobcat without rushing to merge Bobcat and Robotics.

Tokyo Metro (9023 JP) IPO: Trading Debut

By Arun George


Doosan’s Tweaked Restructuring Play: My Take on Hitting Robotics’ 13% Spread

By Sanghyun Park

  • The big question is how to cash in on the dissenters’ rights spread for Robotics. The main concern is cancellation risk, but the FSS doesn’t seem too negative on approval.
  • To sustain nuclear momentum, Enerbility needs heavy borrowing for facility investments, requiring a lower debt ratio. Offloading debt-heavy Bobcat is a move shareholders might support.
  • With NPS unlikely to ignore the government’s nuclear push, Robotics’ spread could narrow quickly. Despite cancellation risk and no hedge, the remaining juice makes an outright position worth considering.

Ocean Wilsons Holdings – Sale of Wilson Sons investment

By Edison Investment Research

Ocean Wilsons announced today that it has agreed to sell its 56.47% stake in Wilson Sons to SAS Shipping Agencies Services, a wholly owned subsidiary of MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company, for R$4.4bn (equivalent to R$17.50 per share). The consideration will be converted into US dollars, which, at the current exchange rate, implies a purchase price of US$768m.

The transaction is expected to complete in H225. A ‘meaningful’ proportion of the proceeds will be returned to shareholders and some may be reinvested in Ocean Wilsons.
