Ecopro BM’s KOSPI Move: Trade LS Marine Solution & Green Cross for the Real Play

By Sanghyun Park

  • Ecopro BM’s still hot trading volume might minimize passive impact. The real action is who replaces it in KOSDAQ 150 and which KOSPI 200 stock gets the boot.
  • LS Marine Solution joins KOSDAQ 150, while Green Cross Holdings gets the boot due to the lowest average daily market cap from May 1 to October 31.
  • KRX fast-tracks approvals for financially strong companies in 20 trading days. Ecopro BM likely qualifies, meaning approval could come before Christmas—ideal timing for entry.
