Event-Driven

<div class="content-highlight">
<p>We continue to have a positive view of Doosan Infracore. The fundamentals are improving significantly and the shorts need to cover more before the stock is suspended from trading on 29 June. The price ratio between Doosan Infracore/DHIC recently peaked on 12 May to 0.87 and has been declining since then to 0.66. So on a relative basis, we think that Doosan Infracore could outperform DHIC this month. </p>
<p>Over a longer view (1-2 years), DHIC can benefit from increased exports of SMR nuclear power and if the opposition party wins the Presidency in South Korea next March, this could also fuel higher demand for nuclear power in Korea which should benefit DHIC. Due to the sharp increase in its share price in the past few weeks, DHIC's shares could enter a correction in the near term, but we would not short it at current levels.</p>
<p>Certainly, many investors are betting against DHIC right now, especially in the past one month. However, we believe that the tides are turning big time for nuclear power (in both South Korea and for exports through SMR). DHIC has the best technology and expertise for nuclear power in South Korea and if there are greater demand for nuclear power for both exports as well as in Korea, DHIC would be the number one company to benefit from this trend. </p>
