Timing a Trade to Capitalize on KT’s November Global Index Deletion and the ETF Recall
- KT’s foreign room is likely staying below 3.75% for November, setting up an ETF recall play. We’ve seen short-term buying pressure in similar past index reshuffles.
- The ETF recall impact peaks right after the announcement. KT’s May downweight saw a 5% spike in two trading days post-announcement.
- KT’s price moves more with downweights than SK Telecom’s because of higher overseas borrowing demand. This trend should hold, so setting up a position before the November announcement makes sense.
LG Electronics India IPO: Potential Big Gains. Booming Demand, Buoyant Valuations
- LG Electronics’s India business IPO could be valued above USD 7 billion, exceeding market expectations, driven by its dominant position in India’s growing home appliances market and strong sector valuations.
- Favourable market conditions and robust sector growth make now an ideal time for LG Electronics (066570 KS) to launch its India IPO, securing high investor interest and compelling valuations.
- In a recent interview, LG Electronics(066570 KS) CEO William Cho mentioned that an Indian market debut is one of several options being considered to revitalise the company’s consumer electronics business.
