  • Adani Group: Hindenburg Report Spurs MSCI to Invite Feedback

Adani Group: Hindenburg Report Spurs MSCI to Invite Feedback

By Brian Freitas

  • The Adani Group stocks have taken a dive following the Hindenburg Research report. Group market cap is down more than US$47bn with company promoters taking the biggest hit.
  • The Adani Enterprises FPO is almost certain to be undersubscribed. MSCI, in an unprecedented step, is monitoring publicly available information and is seeking feedback from the investment community.
  • We find that the real float of some Adani Group stocks is much lower than the headline numbers and there could be selling if MSCI lowers the FIF.

Daily Brief Utilities: Electricite De France Sa and more

In today’s briefing:

  • République Française/​​EDF: Squeeze-Out

République Française/​​EDF: Squeeze-Out

By Jesus Rodriguez Aguilar

  • On 6 July, the French Prime Minister said that France would have 100% of EDF. I recommended BUY at €8.98 in the wake of a very willing big-pocketed buyer.
  • The French state now holds 92.71% of voting rights in EDF, and intends to initiate the squeeze-out within three months from closing (up to 22 March).
  • Although the shares are still liquid, gross spread is 0-2 bps, and therefore there is no trade worth considering, in my view, just selling into the sustained purchase order/await squeeze-out.

  • Misunderstandings & Truth About Samchully & Daesung Holdings Entering KOSPI 200
  • China Power International (2380 HK): A Look into the Positive Profit Alert

Misunderstandings & Truth About Samchully & Daesung Holdings Entering KOSPI 200

By Sanghyun Park

  • Hankyung’s report is a clear misunderstanding under the current index methodology. The possibility of Samchully and Daesung Holdings’ KOSPI 200 inclusion is NONE.
  • However, the issue of deteriorating the market representation of the K200 index, which is caused by the top stocks outside the index, is gaining attention in the local financial space.
  • So, we should prepare for the possibility that KRX will revise the methodology. In this case, an intense preemptive flow for the top names outside the KOSPI 200 can appear.

China Power International (2380 HK): A Look into the Positive Profit Alert

By Osbert Tang, CFA

  • China Power International (2380 HK) announced positive profit alert for FY22 at Rmb2.3-2.7bn, vs. Rmb516m losses in FY21. Such guidances are 14-34% ahead of current consensus forecasts.
  • Disposal and acquisition gains of Rmb2.15bn are the main contributors. As we see further clean energy injections and coal-fired disposals going forward, there is room for more such gains. 
  • Losses for core operations are Rmb300-700m in 2H22, a huge 73.5% YoY reduction. We will not read too much into HoH profitability retreat as this is due to hydropower seasonality.

  • IFM Increases Its Stake in Naturgy

IFM Increases Its Stake in Naturgy

By Jesus Rodriguez Aguilar

  • Australian institutional investor IFM has informed the Spanish National Securities Market Commission (CNMV) that it has increased its stake in Naturgy Energy Group SA (NTGY SM) to just over 14%.
  • Corporate politics: IFM is still far from the 17% threshold that would grant two sits on the Board of Naturgy (and the initial minimum acceptance condition in the partial offer).
  • Speculative buy (TP €27.42, DCF-based). IFM’s intention of increasing its stake may continue to drive up the share price.

  • It’s Not Who The Directors Come From, but Their Skills and Ability to Fulfill Their Fiduciary Duties

It’s Not Who The Directors Come From, but Their Skills and Ability to Fulfill Their Fiduciary Duties

By Aki Matsumoto

  • People who can make business strategy decisions that are economic sense should be hired to serve on the board, not necessarily investors or financial experts.
  • If the motivation to increase corporate value is weak, linking the compensation of directors to the expansion of corporate value or granting them the company’s stock is an alternative.
  • Investors aren’t necessarily the only ones with conflicts of interest with shareholders. Founders hold significant shares, and the same problem can be assumed for directors from financial institutions with cross-shareholdings.

A Company Invested by an Activist Should Understand that It’s Not Fully Exploiting Its Potential

By Aki Matsumoto

  • Since the median P/B of companies listed on TSE is 1.0, Japanese companies will continue to attract the keen attention of activist investors around the world.
  • Many Japanese managers can rest on their laurels with share prices that don’t command premium because of silent shareholders like cross-holding and BoJ that little care about share price performance.
  • There are many companies that publish management strategies that only give a sense of doing, and the stock price does not fall but keeps not significantly outperforming.

China Power International (2380 HK): Stepping up Transformation Strategy

By Osbert Tang, CFA

  • The three recent transactions of China Power International (2380 HK) provide solid evidences that it is accelerating its progress in transformation into a giant green energy play.
  • Partial disposal of coal-fired assets will generate significant disposal gain and reduce exposure to loss-making business. Introduction of CCB Investment as green power shareholder will improve cash flow.  
  • Acquisition of 579MW of wind power capacity will raise proportion of clean energy in its total installed capacity by 0.9pp. This also showcases strong support from its parent SPIC.
