In today’s briefing:

  • KODEX Battery ETF Rebalancing & SungEel Hitech Trading Situation
  • HYBE Shorting Opportunity with a Lockup Release from Dunamu
  • Ecopro Group: Major Equity Grants for 2,706 Employees

KODEX Battery ETF Rebalancing & SungEel Hitech Trading Situation

By Sanghyun Park

  • Given SunEel’s market cap and the level of relevance to the rechargeable battery business, KODEX will likely include it this time around.
  • If you are looking for a short-selling opportunity, I recommend adjusting the timing after this KODEX ETF passive event.
  • If you are long targeting the KOSDAQ 150 inclusion, I recommend taking a slightly longer holding window to additionally target the passive inflow of the KODEX ETF.

HYBE Shorting Opportunity with a Lockup Release from Dunamu

By Sanghyun Park

  • Dunamu may not be in a financial situation that will allow it to hold HYBE shares. With FTX’s liquidity crisis, Upbit’s liquidity management risk will inevitably rise to the surface.
  • Doubts about whether the size of Upbit’s assets is sufficiently absorbing the shock of a bank run are still strongly raised in the local market.
  • These concerns are likely to affect HYBE’s share price as the December 9 release approaches, and yes, we need to design short position setups aimed at this.

Ecopro Group: Major Equity Grants for 2,706 Employees

By Douglas Kim

  • On 15 November, Ecopro Group announced a major equity grant for 2,706 employees that work for various affiliates of the Ecopro Group.
  • The company announced that it will provide equity grant shares worth about 10 million won per employee (for most of the Ecopro Group full time employees as of 30 September).
  • We like what Ecopro Group is trying to do with this equity grant program and we believe this equity grant program will positively impact Ecopro Co and Ecopro BM.
