Last Week In Event SPACE: Vingroup/VinFast, Prosus/Naspers, STAR CM
- Marginal float helped fuel the VinFast (VFS US) bubble. Then it popped.
- The Prosus (PRX NA)/Naspers (NPN SJ) Circularity Detour and subsequent unwind created the B-Share construct which means they can maintain the voting control in South Africa without maintaining economic control.
- The backlash against Star CM Holdings (6698 HK) calls into question the broader Chinese entertainment industry, and how it strikes a balance between viewership/profitability and ethical boundaries.
