Equity Bottom-Up

<p>South Korea-based EuBiologics is the largest supplier of oral cholera vaccine in the world, representing more than 80% market share. By leveraging on market leadership positioning, amid increasing demand and capacity expansion, its oral cholera vaccine has become a stable cash cow for the company. This year, EuBiologics has started developing COVID-19 vaccine, EuCorVac-19, which is currently under clinical trial. The company is one of the frontrunners among the local COVID-19 vaccine developers. With just 2.5% of the people in low-income countries (EuBiologic’s core operating markets) receiving at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, EuCorVac-19 has the potential of becoming second major revenue stream for EuBiologics. Demand for vaccinations will remain for years to come, as more populations become eligible for vaccinations and booster vaccines are rolled out. EuBiologics has a rich late-stage pipeline of typhoid and pneumococcal conjugate vaccines, which target a combined market size of more than KRW8 trillion.   </p>

There are still opportunities for arb trade. We can immediately execute arb trading if sufficient spread occurs before the Green Cross Cell trading suspension (October 28).
However, it is uncertain whether we will see a spread of more than 4% again from now as the cancellation risk, which was the only risk of this event, disappeared.
Still, it seems worthwhile to keep an eye on the spread movement until the trading suspension date.
