LG Energy Solution on Smartkarma

LG Energy Solution is currently under close analyst coverage on Smartkarma, a platform where top independent analysts share their research. One of the analysts, Douglas Kim, recently published a report on the impact of the mandatory block deal pre-announcement requirement in Korea starting from 24 July. In his report, Kim mentions that LG Energy Solution, along with other companies like Kakaopay and SK IET, are potential candidates for block deal sales. The requirement implies that major shareholders of Korean companies must make a public announcement before selling their stakes through block deal sales. Kim’s analysis suggests that these potential block deal sales candidates, including LG Energy Solution, may see underperformance compared to companies not involved in such sales in the upcoming weeks.
