Misunderstandings & Truth About Samchully & Daesung Holdings Entering KOSPI 200

By Sanghyun Park

  • Hankyung’s report is a clear misunderstanding under the current index methodology. The possibility of Samchully and Daesung Holdings’ KOSPI 200 inclusion is NONE.
  • However, the issue of deteriorating the market representation of the K200 index, which is caused by the top stocks outside the index, is gaining attention in the local financial space.
  • So, we should prepare for the possibility that KRX will revise the methodology. In this case, an intense preemptive flow for the top names outside the KOSPI 200 can appear.

China Power International (2380 HK): A Look into the Positive Profit Alert

By Osbert Tang, CFA

  • China Power International (2380 HK) announced positive profit alert for FY22 at Rmb2.3-2.7bn, vs. Rmb516m losses in FY21. Such guidances are 14-34% ahead of current consensus forecasts.
  • Disposal and acquisition gains of Rmb2.15bn are the main contributors. As we see further clean energy injections and coal-fired disposals going forward, there is room for more such gains. 
  • Losses for core operations are Rmb300-700m in 2H22, a huge 73.5% YoY reduction. We will not read too much into HoH profitability retreat as this is due to hydropower seasonality.
