An Exposed Target for Flow Trading on KQ150 Ad-Hoc Change by BH’s KOSPI Transfer Listing

By Sanghyun Park

  • BH Co Ltd (090460 KS) will likely complete the transfer listing by early May, suggesting an ad-hoc change may occur before the regular rebalancing of the KOSDAQ 150 in June.
  • BH’s GICS sector is INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY. It means the top reserved issue at the previous review gets to replace BH. At this point, it will be HFR Inc (230240 KS).
  • We should build up a Long position on HFR right after KRX approves BH’s transfer and then close it on the next trading day after the KQ150 corporate action announcement.

Launch of Starlink Service by SpaceX – Impact on 11 Korean Companies

By Douglas Kim

  • The Starlink service is expected to be launched in Korea in 2Q/3Q 2023. Starlink gained more than 1 million active subscribers globally as of December 2022.
  • The launch of the Starlink service in Korea is likely to have a positive impact on  companies such as Hanwha Aerospace, Solu-M, Intellian Technologies, and Satrec Initiative.
  • We like a pair trade involving long (basket of 8 stocks above that are positively impacted by Starlink launch in Korea) and short (three major Korean telcos).
