<li>The stocks worth our attention are mostly IPO institutional lockup releases. In particular, LG Energy, Iljin HySolus, and Hyundai Heavy Industries will be of the most interest.</li>
<li>Most of these have undergone significant price corrections. Nevertheless, current prices significantly outperform the offering prices. So, the incentives for IPO institutional investors to realize profits should be pretty intense.</li>
<li>Kakao Pay's volume isn't that much. Even with a heavier release last time, it didn't meet our expectations. Probably it is because it is bottoming out at the current level.</li>

AllocationIn the ESOP subscription, more forfeited shares occurred than expected. As a result, institutional allocation rose to 66.9%, and retail took 30%. Compared to post-IPO SO, institutional investors will hold 20.07%, retail will retain 9%, and ESOP will sit on 0.93%.The allocation ratio among institutional investors is also quite ideal. The proportion of locally publicly raised funds and pension funds with long-term holding tendencies (nearly half of the institutional offering) is also not bad, given its size. In addition, it is a good start for a company of this size by securing foreign ownership of more than 7%, which can be said to be an indicator of increasing external credibility in the initial stage of listing.
