KOSPI 200 Ad-Hoc Change: Hyundai Greenfood Out & Samyang Foods Fresh Buy-In on April 10

By Sanghyun Park

  • From a trading perspective, we should pay attention to the KOSPI 200 corporate actions in Hyundai Department Group’s demerger events, as both companies are KOSPI 200 constituents.
  • Hyundai Green Food’s surviving company won’t beat the cutoff, resulting in a KOSPI 200 constituent change on April 10. Samyang Foods will be a new addition.
  • Even the size of KOSPI 200 ETFs that will likely go into mechanical trading on April 10 will cause a significant price impact from a day trading perspective.

Naver (2023 High Conviction Update): Turbo-Charged by Expected Launch of Korean Version of ChatGPT

By Douglas Kim

  • Naver plans to launch its own Korean version of ChatGPT in 1H 2023.
  • We believe that this will act as an important catalyst that is likely to further fuel Naver’s share price higher. 
  • Naver has been our high conviction call in 2023 and we continue to have a Positive view of Naver.
