Kum Yang: Shorting Entry Timing on the Inevitable Block Deals

By Sanghyun Park

  • Kum Yang IR director Park once mentioned that the block deals to sell the 2M treasury shares would likely occur in late May or early June.
  • There has been speculation in the market that the timing of the block deal may be postponed until after its inclusion in the KOSPI 200, allowing for short selling.
  • Considering the immediate funding needs faced by the company, setting an aggressive approach to shorting from shortly after its inclusion in the KOSPI 200 would be reasonable regarding entry timing.
