KOSDAQ150 Ad Hoc Index Rebalance: Lake Materials (281740) To Replace Kuk Il Paper (078130)

By Brian Freitas

  • Following Kuk Il Paper Mfg (078130 KS)‘s designation as an Administrative Issue, the stock will be deleted from the KOSDAQ 150 Index and replaced with Lake Materials (281740 KS).
  • The timing of the index change is currently uncertain but will be implemented latest by the close of trading on 6 April.
  • Lake Materials (281740 KS) was up today and is nearing its highs. There could be another leg higher on the inclusion but we’d be wary of chasing the stock higher.
