Finding Alpha with the End of Mandatory Lock-Up Periods Data from Korea Securities Depository
- We discuss ways of finding alpha with the end of mandatory lock-up periods data from Korea Securities Depository (KSD) which comes out at the end of each month.
- Key companies that are highlighted in this monthly data have been typically underperforming the market much more than the market overall this year.
- Among these stocks, some of the big underperformers this year include Kakao Pay (377300 KS), HYBE (352820 KS), WYSIWYG Studios (299900 KS), and DearU (376300 KS).
India Channel Insight #39 | Maruti, Hyundai
- Maruti Suzuki India (MSIL IN) ‘s dealers are optimistic, expecting easing supply, new launches and the Maruti brand promise to drive back some of the lost market share.
- Kia Motors Corp (000270 KS) is gaining when it comes to fighting with its big brother Hyundai Motor Co (005380 KS).
- There is a set of customers that now prefers Indian brands giving a good tailwind for Tata Motors Ltd (TTMT IN) & Mahindra & Mahindra (MM IN).
Viva China: M&A of Global Footwear Brands at Discount & Its Stake in Li Ning Is More than Market Cap
- Viva China Holdings is a deep value stock with several key catalysts. Viva China Holdings’10.36% stake in Li Ning (2331 HK) alone is worth 152% of its market cap.
- In addition, Viva China Holdings is making solid acquisitions in the global footwear/apparel sector such as Clarks, which is one of the most well known footwear brands in the U.K.
- A major ongoing risk factor is the recent major lockdowns in Shanghai and other cities in China, which is intent on pursing a zero COVID policy.
