Quiddity Leaderboard Mar25 Nikkei 225 Rebal: 2 IN, 2 OUT, $5.5bn+ Fastie to Sell, $7bn a Side
- The Sep24 Nikkei 225 Rebal was odd. They could have done 3. They did 2. For now, I still see 2 IN and 2 OUT for the Mar25 Nikkei225 Rebal.
- There is also a DOUBLE-capping event for Fast Retailing which on 8% outperformance could become a TRIPLE-capping event. For now, the trade is shaping up to be US$7bn a side.
- There is still a tech bent to potential ADDs. Some Consumer Goods stocks need stock splits to get in. Longer-term, the TOPIX Methodology Rejig is an interesting problem set.
Sanrio (8136 JP): The Current Playbook
- Since the announcement of the US$840 million secondary offering, Sanrio (8136 JP)’s shares have been down 3.9% from the undisturbed price of JPY5,160 per share (26 November).
- It is instructive to look at recent large Japanese placements to understand the potential trading pattern. So far, Sanrio’s shares have followed the pattern of previous large placements.
- The offering will likely be priced on 10 December. The average large Japanese placement tends to generate positive returns.
“Parent-Subsidiary Listing” Heaven Continues to Provide Rich Investment Performance for Investors
- With the TSE shortly declaring the conclusion of discussions regarding parent-subsidiary listings, more parent-subsidiary listings (including listed affiliates) are likely to continue to appear going forward.
- “TSE’s Request” states a restructuring of business portfolio, but leaves out the issue of restructuring the parent company’s business portfolio and shifting to a management approach that increases corporate value.
- The parent-subsidiary listings (including listed affiliates) that continue to be created will continue to provide investment opportunities for investors, including activist investors.
