Smartkarma Daily Briefs

• KOFIA says Hynix hit 10.89% weight in October vs 8.37% in September, lifting the 10% fund cap — now local funds can size up like Samsung Electronics.
• SK Square might have been dumped today as locals unwound proxy trades; with Hynix freed from the 10% cap, funds rotated directly into Hynix, front‑running the shift.
• Key now is rotation size; SK Square’s beta‑plus trade to Hynix is fading, and near term we should expect relative underperformance as flows migrate.

• Wendt India completed a transformative acquisition of global “Wendt” brand IP, while Wendt GmbH (3M) initiated exit from the JV, consolidating CUMI and public ownership.
• Autonomous brand/IP rights unshackle Wendt from legacy risk while maintaining technical lead. A diversified, high technology industrial revenue stream, debt-free balance sheet, and high cash conversion reinforce the investment case.
• Wendt India is among the highest quality plays in Indian manufacturing: sticky client relationships, sectoral diversity, and recurring cash flows balance mid-term volatility in autos/steel.

• XAG Technology (XAG HK) is looking to raise at least US$100m in its upcoming Hong Kong IPO. The deal will be run by Huatai.
• Guangzhou Xaircraft Technology Co., Ltd. (XAG) is a global leader in agricultural robotics.
• The company integrates robotics, artificial intelligence, and renewable energy to create comprehensive solutions that make farming more efficient and sustainable.

• Nextracker’s second quarter fiscal year 2026 results reflect a strong performance marked by substantial revenue growth, strategic partnerships, and expansion of their technology platform.
• The company posted a 42% year-over-year revenue increase to $905 million and a 29% rise in adjusted EBITDA to $224 million.
• For the first half of the fiscal year, revenue reached $1.77 billion, which indicates a 31% increase compared to the previous year, setting a new record for the company.

• CGN Mining is uniquely positioned as the sole overseas uranium resources development and trading platform for its parent, China General Nuclear Power Corporation (CGN), a major nuclear power operator in the world’s fastest-growing nuclear energy market.
• The company is set to benefit from a strong uranium market uptrend, driven by a global nuclear energy renaissance and supply constraints. A lucrative off-take agreement with its parent company at prices reportedly 50% higher than previous contracts is expected to significantly boost revenues.
• Despite a robust long-term outlook, the company faces risks from geopolitical instability in key uranium-producing regions, potential price volatility, and recent financial pressures from managing high-cost inventory, which has impacted margins.
