Doosan Robotics Institutional Lockups Breakdown Leaked Pre-Disclosure: Analyzing Flow Schedule

By Sanghyun Park

  • The immediate float rate on the listing date (October 5) has reached 19.25% as the institutional lockup volume is not as high as initially expected.
  • Even with a low institutional lockup level, there seems to be a possibility of a certain IPO day pop.
  • The first exit point we can look for in the short term would be the 1-month lockup release (1.44% of SO) one month after listing.

KOSPI 200 Rebalance Candidates in December 2023 & Changes to the KOSPI 200 Rebalance Process

By Douglas Kim

  • Korea Exchange is planning to change the criteria for rebalancing stocks in the KOSPI 200 index. 
  • The purpose of this change is to prevent stocks that surge ahead of the actual KOSPI 200 inclusion but fall significantly after the inclusion announcement.
  • We think there is a 70-80%+ probability that POSCO DX and L&F Co will be included in KOSPI 200 index in December 2023.
