Privatization of HMM: Enormous Shares Dilution Risk
- The Korean government has initiated the M&A privatization of HMM, the largest container shipping company in Korea.
- We are Negative on the shares of HMM Co., Ltd. (011200 KS) in the next 6-12 months. We expect additional 20% to 30%+ downside risk on HMM in this period.
- Although HMM has a strong balance sheet, more investors are likely to emphasize on the negatives including excessive share dilution risk and worsening environment for the global shipping industry.
Voltronic Power: Rising Up the Ranks
- Ownership levels in Voltronic Power Technology rise as EM funds open new positions.
- A record 15.7% of EM long-only funds own a position, with Wasatch and Morgan Stanley among the high conviction holders.
- Voltronic Power Technology is now the 12th most widely owned stock in Taiwan and the 7th most overweighted company.
