Prime Target for Flow Trading Due to Low Pre-Exposure in December KOSPI 200 Rebalancing
- Posco DX’s KOSPI 200 fast entry effective date will likely coincide with the December regular rebalancing date.
- We should focus on the ad-hoc change deletion as we can expect more pronounced price impact near the effective date due to lower chances of premature exposure than regular reviews.
- The following three candidates are screened: K Car, Daesang Corporation, and Shinsegae International. They are all likely to exhibit a significant passive impact (x ADTV).
Eicher Motors (EIM IN) | Competitive Position Strengthening
- Our dealer checks across a couple of Eicher Motors (EIM IN) and Bajaj Auto Ltd (BJAUT IN) dealerships indicate a strengthening competitive position for Royal Enfield.
- After the initial hype, customers are now shifting back to Royal Enfield.
- As competition ramps up production, we continue to believe that the market will expand, and there will be no fight for market share.
As a Group, Typical SHEIN & Temu Users in the US Lack Political Clout; Why It Matters
- US users of the popular SHEIN and Temu shopping apps tend to be relatively young
- Compared to older Americans, younger Americans (18-34) tend to have less political clout
- What does this mean for SHEIN and Temu, and how will they respond to political challenges?
