EOFlow: Insulet’s Injunction Doesn’t Thwart Medtronic’s Acquisition

By David Blennerhassett

  • After Insulet Corp (PODD US) lodged a lawsuit against EOFlow (294090 KS), Flex, inter alia, on the 3rd August, the judge has thrice extended the temporary restraining order. 
  • But the big (ger) news is that a preliminary injunction comes into force today. Shares are down 2.5% as I type.
  • This latest development should have been expected. And put simply: a proposed preliminary injunction doesn’t prevent Medtronic Plc (MDT US) from acquiring EOFlow.

Long Short Flow Trading Opportunity: TIGER Semicon Top 10 ETF Rebalancing Next Friday

By Sanghyun Park

  • LX Semicon and Tokai Carbon Korea will be excluded, and these two positions will be filled by Eo Technics and either HPSP or ISC Co Ltd.
  • The effective date is October 16th, and the rebalancing trading by the TIGER ETF occurs towards the closing (likely to start around 2 p.m.) on Friday, October 13th.
  • The practical setup would entail an EO Technics-TCK Long Short pair. For a more aggressive strategy, we could explore the inclusion of HPSP in this setup.
