EQD | KOSPI 200 Index Approaching Resistance
- The KOSPI 200 INDEX last week started to rally, so we want to look at WEEKLY resistance levels to evaluate where the current rally could end.
- MRM Resistance Levels where the rally could stop are: 339, 348, 356.
- Based on the current MRM pattern reading we expect the index to either roll down this week, or to rally for +2 more weeks (CC=+4) and then go down.
[KE (BEKE US, BUY, TP US$24) TP Change]: Silver Lining Appear in Industry Cycle, Maintain BUY
- KE Holdings (Beike) reported 2Q23 GTV 5.6% lower than our estimate, revenue (2.6%)/0.4% vs. our estimate/consensus, and non-GAAP NI 21.8%/42.9% higher than our estimate/consensus.
- We think 3Q23 is the trough and expect a rebound in 4Q23 as more substantial supportive policies laying out in China.
- We maintain the stock as BUY rating and raised TP by US$2 to US$24/ADS
