Daihatsu Diesel (6023) - Is Not Directly Auto-Tariff-Related

<li>In late January, <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/daihatsu-diesel-mfg-co-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:12455:1" rel="noopener">Daihatsu Diesel Mfg (6023 JP)</a> announced its once/former parent would sell all its shares; in part to a private company in the industry and a 20% buyback.</li>
<li>The buyback - a below-market own-share tender offer - was priced low enough to be a big win. Accretion added to that. </li>
<li>Buyback Tender Results and External Changes signal overhang and opportunity. Either way, it's cheap, but good governance could make it even cheaper.</li>
