Breaking Down Korean Regulators’ Official Details on New Short Selling System
- Concerning the newly imposed 90-day mandatory repayment period for institutional investors, the elimination of the recall risk during this period is not included in this improvement plan.
- The right to re-establish the same short-selling position after the 90-day repayment period is unlimited. We should pay attention to the potential of this creating new trading events.
- Institutions borrowing stocks from overseas are not subject to the 105% collateral ratio. However, everyone is subject to the 90-day repayment period, even for investors who borrow stocks from overseas.
Ecopro Materials: Overshooting Share Price and Upcoming End of Lockup in December
- In this insight, we discuss the upcoming end of lockup in December for Ecopro Materials and why we believe Ecopro Materials’ share price will be much lower in 6-12 months.
- A combination of the potential inclusion in KOSPI Fast Entry plus the temporary ban on short selling of stocks in Korea has helped to push up Ecopro Materials’ share price.
- However, despite this sharp share price run-up, we think the risk-reward is horrible on this stock in terms of bigger downside risk in the next 6-12 months.
EQD | KOSPI 200 Stalling: Where to Go LONG on the Pullback?
- The KOSPI 200 INDEX has been rising for 4 weeks, it’s OVERBOUGHT and may soon perform a quick pullback, followed possibly by another rally.
- The upcoming pullback is likely to be short-lived, in this insight we analyze where the pullback can reach, and where it should be possible to go LONG again.
- The price area to watch is 330-326: if the index reaches there, the LONG trade odds will be good (assuming the uptrend will continue into the end of the year).
Dentium (145720 KS): Economic Health of China Is the Key to Bring Back Smiles
- Dentium (145720 KS) earns more than 50% of its total revenue from China. The company’s revenue from China reported a CAGR of 32% during 2018–2022.
- Despite concern over China slowdown and lower ASP due to VBP, in 3Q23, Dentium reported 12% YoY revenue growth in China, similar growth rate reported in 2Q23, driven by volume.
- Economic slowdown is lingering over the global as well as Chinese dental implant sector, especially the premium brands. Dentium is positioned at the upper price portion within the value segment.
