Samsung Group ETF Rebalancing Event to Watch for in June

By Sanghyun Park

  • With Samsung finalizing the call option on Rainbow Robotics in February, the FTC will add it to Samsung Group in March, ensuring its inclusion in the ETF by June.
  • With the market cap boost from the call option, Rainbow Robotics is set to easily exceed 2% weight in the ETF by June.
  • The rebalancing from June 2-9 will direct 30% of daily volume into Rainbow Robotics, likely enough to move the needle on price action, especially on the first day.

LG CNS: Updated IPO Valuation Analysis

By Douglas Kim

  • According to our updated valuation analysis of LG CNS, it suggests a base case implied market cap of 7.4 trillion won, representing target price of 76,383 won per share. 
  • Our base case valuation target price of 76,383 won is 23% higher than the high end of the IPO price range. 
  • We lowered our target price by 6%, mainly due to greater political risks arising from the recent cancelled martial law and ongoing impeachment of President Yoon.
