Trading Opportunities Arising from the Enactment of The “Doosan Bobcat Prevention Law”
- Korea’s majority party plans to amend the Capital Markets Act to base listed companies’ merger ratios on intrinsic rather than market value, dubbed the “Doosan Bobcat Prevention Law.”
- Other conglomerates, like Hanwha and Hyundai Motor Group, may execute mergers just before this amendment.
- We should expect shareholder-favorable merger ratios. So, we should position in such companies before announcements, ideally just before the new amendment’s enforcement.
Sanil Electric IPO Book Building Results Analysis

CSX Corporation: How They Are Looking To Expand Their Business Through Strategic Partnerships and Network Collaboration! – Major Drivers
- CSX Corporation reported mixed financial results for the first quarter of 2024, demonstrating solid operational performance amid various challenges including severe weather and infrastructure disruptions.
- The company recorded a total volume increase of 3% driven primarily by a 7% growth in its Intermodal business.
- Despite this growth in volume, revenue declined slightly by approximately 1% year over year to just under $3.7 billion, influenced by lower fuel surcharges and changes in mix.
