L&F (066970 KS): Index Implications of KOSDAQ to KOSPI Transfer
- L&F Co Ltd (066970 KS) has applied to the KRX for a transfer from the KOSDAQ market to the KOSPI market.
- Based on history, the approval for the transfer and the listing change could take place some time in December.
- L&F (066970 KS) will not be short-sell eligible for 6 months or longer. That means short covering prior to index deletion and a possible overshoot in the stock price.
KLAC. Bouncing Along The Bottom
- Q323 revenues of $2.40 billion, at the upper end of the guidance range, up 2% QoQ but down 12.5% YoY
- Current quarter revenue forecast of $2.45 billion, essentially flat sequentially
- Services revenue on track for ~8% YoY growth despite overall revenues tracking to an 8.6% YoY decline..
Mainland Connect NORTHBOUND Flows (To 27Oct23): Net Selling Small, Foxconn & Tianqi Bought
- This is the somewhat-brand-spanking-new Quiddity Mainland Connect NORTHBOUND Monitor. We work off the same presentation as the A/H Premium Monitor and HK Connect SOUTHBOUND Monitor.

- Overall net NORTHBOUND selling this week was small at RMB 445mm. Foxconn Industrial Internet (601138 CH) was net bought every day despite the investigation news the previous weekend.
