Ecopro – Is This the Start of the End?

  • A SELL note from a broker on Ecopro BM Co Ltd (247540 KS) was a key reason for the 7% and 8+% fall for Ecopro Co Ltd (086520 KS) .  
  • Is this finally start of the end of the rally for the poster boy for Korean EV

Chairman Kim Ik-Rae of Daou Kiwoom Group Resigns & Says Sorry – But Is This Enough?

By Douglas Kim

  • After the market close today, Kim Ik-Rae (Chairman of the Daou Kiwoom Group) announced his resignation of the Chairman position.
  • Chairman Kim mentioned he has not done anything legally wrong. He will donate the entire amount (60.5 billion won) which was gained from selling 1.4 million shares of Daou Data. 
  • We believe that Kiwoom Securities’ share price could fall additional 10-30% in the next several weeks/months. This could be offset by a large share buyback & cancellation by the company.
