Renesas (6723) - YET ANOTHER Clean-Up Block Trade - This Time Mitsubishi Elec

<ul>
<li>Last November saw the clean-up trade of INCJ getting out of <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/renesas-electronics-corp" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:15933:1" rel="noopener">Renesas Electronics (6723 JP)</a>. That was 180+mm shares, well over-subscribed.  </li>
<li>Today we have news Hitachi and NEC are getting out of their stakes. That's 123mm shares in an Accelerated Block Offering of about US$2bn. I expect it will go well.</li>
<li>Recent gains in semiconductor stocks globally make this larger discount attractive. I expect a little heaviness but not much. There are index repercussions for international indices.</li>
