KOSDAQ150 Ad Hoc Index Rebalance Preview: VAT Could Replace Lutronic
- Following the two tender offers, Han & Co now holds more than 90% of the common shares in Lutronic Corp (085370 KS) and is looking to buy the remaining shares.
- Lutronic Corp (085370 KS) is a member of the KOSDAQ 150 Index and delisting would mean an index replacement. Value Added Technologies (043150 KS) is a potential inclusion.
- Value Added Technologies (043150 KS) has underperformed its peers and trades cheaper on nearly all valuation parameters.

StubWorld: AviChina Is Coming Up “Cheap”
- As a PRC aviation/defense play, AviChina Industry & Technology H (2357 HK)‘s fundamentals are undemanding.
- Preceding my comments on AviChina are the current setup/unwind tables for Asia-Pacific Holdcos.
- These relationships trade with a minimum liquidity of US$1mn, and a % market capitalisation >20%.
