And Now For Something Truly Offensive – Honda Pays <0.5x Book for Yachiyo

By Travis Lundy

  • Every now and then, you get a tender offer proposal which is truly offensive. This is one. 
  • Yes, existing ICE-related autoparts makers are under the cosh as they face down obsolesence induced by competition from EVs. Fuel tank makers like Yachiyo are at risk. 
  • But this bid started at <0.3x book, and ended at <0.5x book, despite significant net financial assets and lots of unrecognised DTAs. 

Impact of Allowing Negotiated Block Trades for Eight Futures Spreads, Incl. SSF SP

By Sanghyun Park

  • It is highly probable that SP trading will increase after July 31st, as this will provide a more conducive environment for the seamless rollover of large positions.
  • Considering the actual impact on the market, we may have to pay more attention to the potential surge in trading volume for single-stock futures SP.
  • We see a rise in aggressive position setups in event trading, including rights offerings. This may lead to a more substantial price impact by increasing the intensity of such trading.
