Trading Plays for the Unexpected Tender Offer to Lutronic Corp Shareholders

By Sanghyun Park

  • Retail investors hold the majority of shares at 60%, and they may be interested in participating in the second tender offer based on their accumulated learning effect.
  • Based on the observed behavior of Hahn & Co, it’s unlikely that they will walk away from the delisting plan.
  • We need to consider going long on the potential upward adjustment of the second tendering price. This play can be viewed as a call option with a floor at ₩36,700.

Tandem Diabetes Care (TNDM US): Missed Earnings + Severe Competition = A Bitter Pill to Swallow

By Tina Banerjee

  • Tandem Diabetes Care (TNDM US) has been consistently missing earnings expectations. This is taking a toll on the share price performance, with shares plunging ~61% over the last one year.
  • Tandem’s nearest rival has recently launched its new insulin pump in the U.S. This will affect Tandem’s Q2 sales growth. Tandem guided for 10–12% revenue growth in 2023.
  • Tandem is a hugely beaten down stock. However, it will be wise to wait for Tandem to launch new product, ensure its good uptake amid competition, and exhibit earnings stability.
