- Doosan Enerbility (034020 KS) aims to raise around US$220m via selling around 4.9% of Doosan Bobcat Inc (241560 KS) .
- This will be the third selldown in the company in less than a year with the previous two deals in Nov 22 and May 23 having delivered mixed results

Doosan Bobcat Block Deal Sale: Concerned About North America Construction Sector Downturn
- After the market close on 20 June, Doosan Enerbility announced that it will sell 5 million shares of Doosan Bobcat through a block deal worth about 300 billion won.
- The block deal price range is from 54,800 won to 56,200 won, which represents a discount range from 6.18% to 8.51% (versus current price).
- We have a negative view of Doosan Bobcat block deal as we expect lower share price of Doosan Bobcat in 2H 2023 due to construction sector downturn in North America.
