Singapore Post – AGM update confirms review intentions

By Edison Investment Research

At the AGM management discussed the outcome of Singapore Post’s strategic review and the recently announced strategic review into value creation options relating to the Australian logistics business. In our view, expansion in the Australian logistics market offers long-term growth and that historical issues surrounding structural weakness in postal volumes may be resolved by growth in replacement volumes from e-commerce. We continue to believe there is more than 60% upside in the share price.

  • Overall Assessment of the Value-Up Policy-Related Aspects of the Tax Reform Plan Released Today
  • Jeisys Medical (287410 KS): Archimed Reloads Delisting Offer
  • Doosan Robotics: 2Q 2024 Results Analysis


Overall Assessment of the Value-Up Policy-Related Aspects of the Tax Reform Plan Released Today

By Sanghyun Park

  • The highest dividend tax rate drops from 49.5% to 25%, leading the local capital market to view the reform as more shareholder-focused than company-focused.
  • The top inheritance tax rate drops from the 60% range to 40%, a meaningful reduction for conglomerates like Hyundai and Hanwha, though below initial expectations.
  • Tax incentives in the reform are less aggressive than expected, with modest corporate and inheritance tax cuts. However, this compromise increases the likelihood of its passage, boosting short-term market expectations.

Jeisys Medical (287410 KS): Archimed Reloads Delisting Offer

By David Blennerhassett

  • Last month, aesthetic laser maker Jeisys Medical (287410 KS) announced French PE outfit Archimed SAS was seeking to delist the company.
  • Via a Tender Offer, Archimed sought to acquire 72% of Jeisys at ₩13,000. Archimed also inked agreements with founders/directors for 26.44%, taking its possible % holding to 98.44%.
  • The Tender Offer closed on the 22nd July with Archimed holding 81.39% (including the aforementioned agreements). Archimed has now reloaded, on the same terms. There is no minimum acceptance condition. 

Doosan Robotics: 2Q 2024 Results Analysis

By Douglas Kim

  • Doosan Robotics reported disappointing 2Q 2024 results. It generated sales of 14.4 billion won (up 10.1% YoY) and operating loss of 7.9 billion won in 2Q 2024.
  • After the disappointing results in 2Q 2024, it is likely that the consensus will lower their sales and profit estimates of Doosan Robotics for the next three years.
  • The consensus is likely to lower sales estimates by at least 15-20%+ in the next two years. In addition, the profit margin estimates are likely to be reduced materially.

Quiddity Leaderboard BSE/​​​​SENSEX Dec 24: Could Zomato’s Share Price Rally Become a Problem?

Although the Cost of Capital for CBs Should Be Considered Much Higher than for SBs

By Aki Matsumoto

  • We need to watch carefully to see whether cash flow will subsequently increase in the projects that the CB issuers have invested their proceeds in.
  • Share prices of companies that announce equity financings, including CBs, usually decline. Besides the dilution, another aspect is the effect of the company’s announcement of the sale of its shares.
  • In the case of CBs, the company should keep in mind that it sold the conversion rights of its shares for less than their actual call option value.

Canon Marketing (8060) – Finally Using Its Cash, But It Is Walking The Walk With No Talk Behind

By Travis Lundy

  • Today after the close, Canon Marketing Japan (8060 JP) announced a large Tender Offer Buyback from its parent company Canon Inc (7751 JP). Canon will tender 20mm shares (15.42%). 
  • This is a very capital efficient way to conduct a buyback from a parent, and an even better way for a parent to sell shares of a sub. 
  • This corporate action will reduce equity by 20%, and partially clean up the messy inter-company transactions which should not exist. 

Tohokushinsha (2329 JP) – 3D Investment Partners Proposes Take-Private

By Travis Lundy

  • 3D Investment Partners, known to be activist-ish-y, purchased 18% of Tohokushinsha Film (2329 JP) in the 12 months to March 2024. They started a public activism campaign in February.
  • The company has started down a better governance track, but now 3D has made a takeover proposal to Tohokushinsha, which will consider it under Special Committee.
  • There are a couple of possible outcomes here which are interesting to consider. There are no other spoilers possible except those friendly to founders and management.

CPMC Holdings (906.HK) Privatization Update – The Story Behind the Delay of Offer Document Despatch

By Xinyao (Criss) Wang

  • Since all the Pre-Conditions have been fulfilled, Baosteel has taken a solid step towards the successful acquisition of CPMC. Comparatively, ORG could encounter resistance and uncertainties in the upcoming process.
  • The acquisition of CPMC by ORG cannot be completed by ORG and Zhang Wei alone.Without the “nod” of COFCO/SASAC, what ORG’s going to do is equivalent to a “hostile takeover”. 
  • ORG’s acquisition of control of CPMC could go against the national strategy of “building strong alliances between SOEs”. In fact, what ORG wants is for Baosteel to raise its Offer.

Timee IPO Trading – Garnered a Strong Demand, Should Pop

By Clarence Chu

  • Timee Inc (215A JP) raised US$300m in its Japan IPO. The IPO had been a 100% secondary selldown by existing shareholders.

  • Arvida (ARV NZ), a leading retirement living and aged care service provider in New Zealand, announced a Scheme from PE-outfit Stonepeak at NZ$1.70/share, in cash, a 65% premium to undisturbed. 
  • The Offer has unanimous board support. ~18% of shares out are supportive. Standard Scheme voting applies. Consent from NZ’s Overseas Investment Office also required. 
  • A Scheme Meeting is expected to be held in 4Q24 with implementation in the same quarter. Optics are a tad opportunistic; but this looks priced to complete.

STOXX 50: First September Forecasts for Europe and Eurozone

By Dimitris Ioannidis


Doosan Robotics: 2Q 2024 Results Analysis

By Douglas Kim

  • Doosan Robotics reported disappointing 2Q 2024 results. It generated sales of 14.4 billion won (up 10.1% YoY) and operating loss of 7.9 billion won in 2Q 2024.
  • After the disappointing results in 2Q 2024, it is likely that the consensus will lower their sales and profit estimates of Doosan Robotics for the next three years.
  • The consensus is likely to lower sales estimates by at least 15-20%+ in the next two years. In addition, the profit margin estimates are likely to be reduced materially. 

Singapore Post – AGM update confirms review intentions

By Edison Investment Research

At the AGM management discussed the outcome of Singapore Post’s strategic review and the recently announced strategic review into value creation options relating to the Australian logistics business. In our view, expansion in the Australian logistics market offers long-term growth and that historical issues surrounding structural weakness in postal volumes may be resolved by growth in replacement volumes from e-commerce. We continue to believe there is more than 60% upside in the share price.

GPH: Two-Pronged Production Localizing Graphite Supply

By Atrium Research

  • Graphite One Inc. (GPH:TSXV, GPHOF:OTC) is a Canadian development company focused on owning the entire graphite supply chain, through the production of natural and artificial graphite.
  • GPH’s strategy is two-pillared with its Graphite Creek mining project in Alaska and its proposed Advanced Anode Manufacturing Facility in Ohio, both at the feasibility study stage.
  • The anode facility will produce anode materials primarily used in lithium-ion EVs. Graphite, being a U.S. Government-listed critical mineral and its supply currently dominated by China, poses domestic supply risks and a recent $37.5M grant from the U.S. Department of Defense, gives us confidence in Graphite One bringing these projects into production.

  • Doosan Robotics reported disappointing 2Q 2024 results. It generated sales of 14.4 billion won (up 10.1% YoY) and operating loss of 7.9 billion won in 2Q 2024.
  • After the disappointing results in 2Q 2024, it is likely that the consensus will lower their sales and profit estimates of Doosan Robotics for the next three years.
  • The consensus is likely to lower sales estimates by at least 15-20%+ in the next two years. In addition, the profit margin estimates are likely to be reduced materially. 

Singapore Post – AGM update confirms review intentions

By Edison Investment Research

At the AGM management discussed the outcome of Singapore Post’s strategic review and the recently announced strategic review into value creation options relating to the Australian logistics business. In our view, expansion in the Australian logistics market offers long-term growth and that historical issues surrounding structural weakness in postal volumes may be resolved by growth in replacement volumes from e-commerce. We continue to believe there is more than 60% upside in the share price.
