Long Short Setup on KOSDAQ 150 Ad Hoc Change with SK Oceanplant’s KOSPI Transfer Listing

By Sanghyun Park

  • SK Oceanplant will likely be listed on KOSPI in late May or early June. There are no clear reasons for KRX to oppose SK Ocean Plant’s move to KOSPI.
  • The top reserved issue in INDUSTRIALS, Sun Kwang (003100 KS), will replace it in KOSDAQ 150. The effective date is the delisting day.
  • The impact size on the delisting day alone may be well above 1x ADTV for both companies, so we will likely see a significant price movement.

LG Corp: A Family Feud! (Mother & Sisters Sue Their Chairman Son) Enter the Private Equity Dragons?

By Douglas Kim

  • There is a major family feud on LG Group. Koo Kwang-Mo (Chairman of LG Group)’s mum and sisters are suing Chairman Koo to demand more money. 
  • We believe that this family feud among the members of the LG Group regarding the inheritance recovery is likely to heighten the importance of the controlling stake in LG Corp.
  • Similar to what has happened with Osstem Implant, it is very possible that mum and sisters are discussing various strategies with some of the biggest private equity dragons in Asia/globally.
