Toshiba (6502 JP): JIP Lobs a Lower-Than-Expected Offer

By Arun George

  • The Nikkei Asia reports that JIP has submitted a formal proposal to privatise Toshiba Corp (6502 JP) for about JPY2.2 trillion (US$15 billion) based on “Toshiba’s current share price.” 
  • JIP’s offer is below expectations of around a JPY6,000 bid which is likely driven by the inability to secure sufficient debt financing. JIP remains in negotiations with banks. 
  • While there is a risk that JIP will be unable to improve its offer to secure Board approval, the downside is low as Toshiba/peers’ current price ratio is attractive. 

KLine (Kawasaki Kisen (9107)) – ToSTNeT-3 For All The Marbles

By Travis Lundy

  • On Thursday, Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha (9107 JP) announced earnings, lower-than-consensus guidance and a ¥100bn buyback via ToSTNeT-3 this week, and on market if not filled via ToSTNeT-3.
  • The stock fell 5+%. I wrote I thought it was a buy and that the buyback was “game-able.” It rose 10+% from then til now. 
  • That was the fun. Now we get the games. Positioning strategy matters. 

Sunwoda Electronic GDR Listing – Better Track Record than Peers. Discount Also Inline with Average

By Clarence Chu

  • Sunwoda Electronic Co Ltd A (300207 CH) is looking to raise around US$300m in its Swiss GDR listing. Bookrunners on the deal are GS and UBS.

  • The deal would represent 3.4 days of three month ADV and 4.8% of the firm’s current mcap.

  • BliBli provides e-commerce services across Indonesia to both retail consumers and institutions.
  • In our previous notes, we have looked at the company’s past performance. In this note, we will talk about the trading dynamics.

Shorting Setup on Additions to KS200/KQ150 with KODEX Battery ETF Flow

By Sanghyun Park

  • Korea’s partial short-selling system, implemented in May last year, created a new trading pattern, a surge in short selling for new additions, immediately after index rebalancing.
  • Canaria Bio, HPSP, and SungEel Hitech are highly likely to be the primary targets for short selling, but there is one more thing we need to consider.
  • KODEX will likely begin rebalancing buying on HPSP and SungEel on December 9, the same day the short-selling starts for them. So, we need a more flexible setup.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co Ltd (TSM US): TSS < 10 - Target Tactical 6-8% Upswing

By David Coloretti, CMT

  • TSM US has declined 35% since mid-August 2022 and 59% from its January 2022 peak. 
  • A new 2022 low of 59.43 was produced on Thursday 3 November amid extreme bullish ST momentum failure.
  • Our TSS methodology triggered a TSS < 10 at the low and justifies a further 6-8% upside in the coming 1-2 weeks.

Coupang: Market Share Loss Likely Due to Launch of Naver’s 24 Hours Next Day Delivery Service

By Douglas Kim

  • In December 2022, Naver plans to launch its long awaited 24 hours delivery service (Naver Arrival Guarantee Solution), competing directly against Coupang’s “rocket delivery” services in Korea.
  • Coupang’s valuations are not attractive at current levels and the heightened competition in the 24 hour delivery service market from Naver/CJ Logistics is likely to negatively impact Coupang. 
  • By providing 24 hours quick delivery service, Naver is expected to take away market share from Coupang from the fast delivery services in Korea.

Internet Initiative Japan (Buy) – Q2 22 Results Reaction: Mobile Recovery Boosts Corporate DX Growth

By Kirk Boodry

  • Internet Initiative Japan (3774 JP) posted solid Q2 results with the best quarterly revenue growth since 2016 and a 12th consecutive quarter of margin expansion
  • Results were driven by growth tailwinds for corporate digitization which was also visible in KDDI/Softbank results as well as a recovery in mobile which was not

By Vincent Fernando, CFA

  • Hon Hai Precision Industry (2317 TT)  announced today that it will invest up to US$170m into Lordstown Motors Corp (RIDE US).
  • The deal represents favorable terms for Hon Hai in our view, given the conversion price of preferred shares involved in the deal and the after-market price for Lordstown shares.

Market Correction: An Opportunity in Disguise

By Private Investor

Daily Brief Consumer: Swedish Match AB, Reach, I-Tail and more

By | Consumer, Daily Briefs

In today’s briefing:

  • Offer Becomes Unconditional
  • National World/Reach: Possible Offer
  • I-Tail Corporation IPO: The Bear Case
  • I-Tail Corporation Pre-IPO – Peer Comparison Update – Adding in Its Only Local Peer

Offer Becomes Unconditional

By Jesus Rodriguez Aguilar

  • PMI has obtained acceptances of 82.59%, waives the 90% acceptance condition and extends the acceptance period until 25 November (settlement on 2 December).
  • SWMA shares are trading at an all-time high of SEK 115.8. Gross spread is 0.17% (estimated annual return is 2.52%). The market discounts that the offer will be successful.
  • Done deal. PMI is ready to wait until claiming final victory, quite possibly in the further extended acceptance period. It should be able to squeeze-out and delist. Accept offer.

National World/Reach: Possible Offer

By Jesus Rodriguez Aguilar

  • SPAC National World confirmed that it is at the early stages of exploring a possible offer for UK’s largest local publisher Reach (RCH LN), whose share price had dropped 64% YTD.
  • The approach comes when Reach seems to be turning a corner and digital is growing, more specifically data-led initiatives. The top ten shareholders own 61% of the share capital.
  • A good offer should be tabled to convince the suffering top ten shareholders (61% in aggregate). My TP is 163.4p (comparables/DCF). The shares are trading at 4.0x NTM P/E.

I-Tail Corporation IPO: The Bear Case

By Arun George

  • I-Tail (ITC TB), Thai Union Group (TU TB)’s pet care division, has started pre-marketing an up to US$600 million SET IPO, according to press reports.
  • In I-Tail Corporation IPO: The Bull Case, we highlighted the key elements of the bull case. In this note, we outline the bear case. 
  • The key elements of the bear case rest on its under-representation in the dog food category (largest pet food category), margins at or near the peak and declining FCF margin. 

I-Tail Corporation Pre-IPO – Peer Comparison Update – Adding in Its Only Local Peer

By Sumeet Singh

  • I-Tail, an OEM in the wet pet food category, aims to raise around US$500m in its Thailand IPO. It is a subsidiary of Thai Union Group (TU TB) .
  • As per ITC, it was the number two pet food company in Asia and in the top ten pet food companies globally. ITC expertise lies in fish-based wet pet food.
  • In our previous notes, we have looked at past performance, undertaken a peer comparison and spoken about valuation. In this note, we will add in its recently listed local peer.

Most Read: Toshiba Corp, Mitsui & Co Ltd, Metro Pacific Investments Co, Sk Chemicals Co Ltd/New, Pilbara Minerals, Tube Investments of India, Tencent, Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha, Blibli and more

By | Daily Briefs, Most Read

In today’s briefing:

  • Toshiba (6502) – Funding Deadline Risk Was Known 6+ Weeks Ago
  • Mitsui & Co (8031) Buyback – Big Profit, Big Div, Big Buyback, Some Index Selling
  • MSCI SEA EM Nov SAIR: High Impact Deletions Expected

  • MSCI Korea November SAIR: Potential Changes, Impact, Short Interest & Pre-Positioning

  • KLine (Kawasaki Kisen (9107)) – ToSTNeT-3 For All The Marbles
  • BliBli IPO Trading – Upsized, Priced near Top-End but Should Be Trading at Least 50% Lower

Toshiba (6502) – Funding Deadline Risk Was Known 6+ Weeks Ago

By Travis Lundy

  • There are several bits of news in the past few weeks indicating financing commitments might not meet the 7 Nov deadline. Principal among them the JIC/JIP split many weeks ago. 
  • That suggested the 30 Sep and subsequent deadlines would be delayed. And it appears we now have the reason for it, and that is another cause of financing commitment delay.
  • This development suggests activists have another quiver in their arrow should privatisation not succeed. Toshiba has cheapened in the meantime.

Mitsui & Co (8031) Buyback – Big Profit, Big Div, Big Buyback, Some Index Selling

By Travis Lundy

  • Mitsui & Co Ltd (8031 JP) on 1 November reported its results for H1 2022. H1 Revenue +37.1%yoy, OP+27.2%yoy, NP+33.2%yoy to ¥539bn. Full-year NP forecast +22.5% to ¥980bn.
  • Mitsui raised its dividend forecast (previously scheduled to rise from ¥105/share to ¥120/share) to ¥130/share and announced a ¥140bn buyback, adding to the ¥100bn announced in May completed in September.
  • The first ¥58.6bn was done in a ToSTNeT-3 buyback. Now there is another ¥79.4bn to go. There’s also a fair bit of index selling the next 6mos.

MSCI SEA EM Nov SAIR: High Impact Deletions Expected

By Brian Freitas

  • There should be quite a few deletions for South East Asia Emerging Markets. The number of potential inclusions is smaller and have a smaller probability of being added.
  • While the passive flow on the potential deletions is not massive, the impact in terms of days of ADV to trade is very high in most cases.
  • There has been a steady increase in cumulative excess volume on a few of the potential deletions and there will be unwinding against the passive flow.

Toshiba (6502 JP): JIP Lobs a Lower-Than-Expected Offer

By Arun George

  • The Nikkei Asia reports that JIP has submitted a formal proposal to privatise Toshiba Corp (6502 JP) for about JPY2.2 trillion (US$15 billion) based on “Toshiba’s current share price.” 
  • JIP’s offer is below expectations of around a JPY6,000 bid which is likely driven by the inability to secure sufficient debt financing. JIP remains in negotiations with banks. 
  • While there is a risk that JIP will be unable to improve its offer to secure Board approval, the downside is low as Toshiba/peers’ current price ratio is attractive. 

MSCI Korea November SAIR: Potential Changes, Impact, Short Interest & Pre-Positioning

By Brian Freitas

  • We see 1 potential inclusion and 12 potential deletions for the MSCI Korea Index at the November SAIR. The final changes will depend on what day MSCI uses.
  • Nearly all the stocks have over 4 days of ADV to trade from passive trackers. There have been big moves on short interest and excess volume on some stocks.
  • The announcement will be made Friday morning pre-market open and there could be some big moves in the stocks this week.

MSCI Australia Nov SAIR: Significant Pre-Positioning on the Potential Deletes

By Brian Freitas

  • We see two inclusions and two exclusions for the MSCI Australia Index at the November SAIR. Passive trackers will need to trade between 5-8x ADV on the stocks.
  • Cumulative excess volume on the stocks has been increasing steadily over the last few months, indicating a fair amount of pre-positioning.
  • Short interest on the potential deletions has spiked over the last couple of months and pre-positioning could be close to (or larger than) the estimated passive selling.

MSCI India November SAIR: Potential Changes & Higher Foreign Holding

By Brian Freitas

  • Post the end of the review period, we see 7 potential adds and 2 potential deletes for the MSCI India Index at the November SAIR.
  • Inclusion in the index will require passive trackers to buy 6-21 days of ADV on the stocks. That increases to 16-45 days of delivery volume.
  • Cumulative excess volume indicates pre-positioning on most potential adds. Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPI) have increased their holding on all potential adds over the July-September quarter.

China Internet Weekly (7Nov2022): Tencent, Alibaba, Kuaishou, JD.com, Autohome, China Unicom

By Ming Lu

  • Tencent and Alibaba are rumored to be acquired by state-owned companies.
  • Tencent charges for originally free function and JD.com re-organized to cut cost.
  • Autohome’s revenue stopped declining in 3Q22 and it is time to accumulate.

KLine (Kawasaki Kisen (9107)) – ToSTNeT-3 For All The Marbles

By Travis Lundy

  • On Thursday, Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha (9107 JP) announced earnings, lower-than-consensus guidance and a ¥100bn buyback via ToSTNeT-3 this week, and on market if not filled via ToSTNeT-3.
  • The stock fell 5+%. I wrote I thought it was a buy and that the buyback was “game-able.” It rose 10+% from then til now. 
  • That was the fun. Now we get the games. Positioning strategy matters. 

BliBli IPO Trading – Upsized, Priced near Top-End but Should Be Trading at Least 50% Lower

By Sumeet Singh

  • PT Global Digital (BliBli) raised around US$517m in its Indonesian IPO, after using the upsize option and pricing its deal just below the top-end.
  • BliBli provides e-commerce services across Indonesia to both retail consumers and institutions.
  • In our previous notes, we have looked at the company’s past performance. In this note, we will talk about the trading dynamics.

Daily Brief United States: Datadog Inc, DraftKings Inc and more

By | Daily Briefs, United States

In today’s briefing:

  • Grounding Myself in this Market Cycle
  • King No More

Grounding Myself in this Market Cycle

By BluSuit

  • At the moment of writing this, it’s 2:30 pm on a Sunday and I am in a ground blind. Every year at about this time of the year I take a few days off of work to unplug, have a few drinks with other family members and run off to the middle of the woods.
  • I get some of my best thinking done out here while I wait for a White Tail Buck to come by. It’s blissful.
  • Regardless of where I am or what I am doing, I am and always have been committed to maintaining my transparency, my thoughts and my investing story/process to all of you.

King No More

By subSPAC

  • Fantasy Sportbook Operator DraftKings saw its shares drop by 28% at the close on Friday, recording the worst in its trading history even as its management and CEO remained upbeat about the company’s future.
  • What was surprising about the steep decline was the fact that the company beat analyst expectations both on the revenue and EPS front in its most recent quarter while also raising its full-year guidance.
  • The market remains skeptical about the company’s business model and its decision to prioritize growth over profitability, a stark comparison to its peers who have cut costs in recent months.
