Sona Blw Precision Placement – US$585m Clean-Up Sale by Blackstone Will Lift the Overhang

By Clarence Chu

  • Singapore VII Topco III (Blackstone-affiliate) is looking to raise at least US$585m in its stake sale of Sona BLW Precision Forgings (SONACOMS IN)
  • The share sale is a clean-up one and will lift the overhang on the stock.
  • The block is marketed at a floor price of INR400/share, at a 8.3% discount to last close. 

Names for a Preemptive Long Short Setup for KOSPI 200 June Rebalancing

By Sanghyun Park

  • Kum Yang and Youlchon Chemical are within the borderline for inclusion, whereas Hwaseung Enterprise and K Car are in the deletion zone.
  • Since the review period has reached 75%, it seems reasonable to consider a somewhat aggressive buildup for them.
  • We can also consider setting up preemptive positions only for Kum Yang and Hwaseung Enterprise and then sequentially look for entry opportunities for Youlchon and K Car later on.

Fuji Oil: Probably The Last Chance For Itochu to Scoop Up Fuji Oil at a Bargain

By Oshadhi Kumarasiri

  • Having conducted several acquisitions and reinvested most of the operating cashflows into building its overseas business base, Fuji Oil Holdings (2607 JP) seems ready to unleash its earnings potential.
  • There could be more than a 100% upside to Fuji Oil shares if ROE returns to the historical median of 9% in the next few years.
  • Therefore, if Itochu Corp (8001 JP) has plans to takeover Fuji-Oil, the current price and the position in the business-cycle present the best opportunity to buy-out Fuji-Oil at a bargain.

What’s Solution for TSE Growth Market, Where IPOs Became the Goal and Lost Growth Due to Burnout?

By Aki Matsumoto

  • Few companies have generally achieved significant growth since listing, and about half of the companies are below their market capitalization at the IPO, which is challenges in TSE Growth Market.
  • Even if the number of companies subject to such shares is limited, the use of multiple voting shares shouldn’t be ruled out if the dilution of voting rights hinders fundraising.
  • The key to solving the challenges of TSE Growth Market, where few companies have growth potential and have financing needs, is the ability of management to realize growth potential post-listing.
