Target Cosmo AM&T as a Prime Candidate for KOSPI 200 Special Entry in December

By Sanghyun Park

  • The introduction of float market cap is anticipated to apply not only to sector-based screening for the KOSPI 200 but also to special entry considerations.
  • Cosmo AM&T emerges as a direct beneficiary of this change. It currently ranks 52nd within the KOSPI, maintaining a tight gap with the borderline (50th).
  • Once it enters the KOSPI 200, it will also become a part of KOSPI 200 IT. As a result, the estimated flow size is approximately ₩230B, about 6x ADTV.

Ecopro Materials IPO Valuation Analysis

By Douglas Kim

  • Our base case valuation for Ecopro Materials is implied price per share of 40,325 won per share, which is within the IPO price range of 36,200 won to 46,000 won.
  • Given the lack of upside relative to the IPO price range, we have a negative view of this IPO. 
  • Ecopro Materials is engaged in the business of manufacturing and selling high-nickel precursors, one of the key materials for high-nickel anode materials for secondary batteries.
