By αSK

  • Lotus Horizon is a specialized subcontractor in Hong Kong’s facade and building metal works sector, a niche market driven by both new construction and renovation projects.

  • While the broader Hong Kong construction market is expected to stabilize, supported by government infrastructure spending, the company faces intense competition, high uncertainty, and a challenging environment for private sector projects.

By αSK

  • Woojin I&S is demonstrating a significant operational turnaround, with substantial revenue growth and a return to profitability in the latest full year after a period of considerable losses. This recovery is supported by strong growth drivers in its key end-markets.
  • The company’s valuation appears attractive relative to peers, with low P/E and P/B ratios. This, combined with high scores on Value, Growth, and Momentum metrics, suggests a potentially undervalued investment opportunity.
  • Despite the positive momentum, the company exhibits high financial volatility, with significant swings in profitability and cash flow. This historical inconsistency presents a key risk for investors and points to a high degree of uncertainty in future performance.

Kawasaki Heavy Ind (7012)Tactical Outlook: Exhausted Sell-Off, Possible Rally to 3K

By Nico Rosti

  • Kawasaki Heavy Industries (7012 JP) cash flow remains highly constrained, failing to comfortably cover the group’s legacy debt obligations. 
  • The stock price dropped down to JPY 2,690 (July 14) and it is currently consolidating around JPY 2,725 as of mid-July 2026, breaking below its 200-day moving average.

KHI (7012 JP): Production Upgrades & Drone Deal with Airbus

By Scott Foster

  • KHI’s new share and CB issues will fund production upgrades while strengthening the balance sheet. Potential dilution should be in the price.
  • The share price has been declining since March as overbought defense contractors were sold off. That is coming to an end. MHI has started to recover. 
  • Collaboration with Airbus and Eurodrone is another reminder that Japan’s defense build-up is not driven by the wars in Ukraine or the Persian Gulf. 

Menon Bearings (MEN IN): Quality Company Inflection In Earnings To FY28, CAGR >25% FY26-28

Primer: Harmonic Drive Systems (6324 JP) – Jul 2026

By αSK

  • Dominant Market Leader with a Wide Moat: Harmonic Drive Systems holds a commanding global market share (estimated around 85%) in the niche market of precision strain wave gears, a critical component for high-precision motion control in robotics and semiconductor equipment. This technological leadership and brand recognition create a significant barrier to entry.
  • Favorable Long-Term Growth Prospects: The company is strategically positioned to benefit from secular growth trends in industrial automation, the proliferation of AI-powered and collaborative robots, and investments in the semiconductor industry. A new medium-term plan targets substantial revenue growth by FY03/31.
  • Premium Valuation and Cyclical Risks: The company trades at a significant valuation premium to its peers, reflecting its market leadership. However, it faces notable risks, including high cyclicality tied to capital expenditures in the robotics and semiconductor industries, declining sales in the key China market, and broader geopolitical and economic uncertainties.

Primer: Nortek Inc (NTK US) – Jul 2026

By αSK

  • Nortek Inc. no longer exists as a publicly traded entity. Following its acquisition by Melrose Industries in 2016 for approximately $2.8 billion, the company was delisted and its various divisions were subsequently sold off to different buyers.
  • The two primary segments of the former Nortek have new ownership: the HVAC business (Nortek Global HVAC) was acquired by Madison Industries in 2021 and later by Rheem in 2024, while the home technology and security business (Nortek Control) was acquired by Italian company Nice S.p.A. in 2021.
  • Due to the sale and breakup of the company, a forward-looking financial analysis and valuation of the historical Nortek Inc. is not applicable. The investment thesis has shifted to the performance and strategy of the acquiring companies (Rheem and Nice S.p.A.) and their integration of the former Nortek assets.

Aequitas: Archion Placement – Past Large Deals Performance and Thoughts on Valuations

By Sumeet Singh

  • Toyota Motor (7203 JP) and Daimler Truck Holding (DTG GR) (DT) are looking to raise up to US$1.7bn via selling around 35% of their stake in Archion (543A JP).
  • The news of the possible deal had been leaked ahead of the actual launch, although the overall selldown was very well flagged.
  • We have looked at most aspects of the deal in our earlier notes. In this note, we talk about the recent share price performance and provide our thoughts on valuations.

Baycurrent (6532) Preview Before Q1 Earnings Wednesday

By Travis Lundy

  • When I pounded the table pre-buyback in mid-March, Baycurrent (6532 JP) was trading a lot lower, hit by the selloff in the SaaS/growth bias. AI was going to take over.
  • The Skynet Takeover, while not thwarted, is delayed by the simple fact that Baycurrent is a tech/business consultant and a leading voice in corporate Japan for AI integration. 
  • Baycurrent reiterated guidance. Multi-year mid 20%s CAGR against 16x PER. The stock bounced. Now 20.6x Feb27e NP. Q1 earnings Weds. Seasonality matters. KPIs matter. That’s a question.

Apollo/EasyJet: A Higher Bid, a Stronger Proposal

By Jesus Rodriguez Aguilar

  • Apollo’s 715p proposal wins Board support. Beyond the higher price, voting stub equity, brand commitments and stronger regulatory undertakings appear to have shifted the Board’s position.
  • Apollo’s proposal appears designed to appeal to the Haji-Ioannou family while leveraging its extensive airline ownership experience, making it a stronger strategic proposition than Castlelake’s competing offer.
  • We raise our target price to 715p/share. Castlelake remains live until 3 August, but matching Apollo’s price alone may not be sufficient to regain Board support.

Hoban Group Raises Stake in Hanjin Kal to More than 20%: Next Step (A Partnership with a Major PE?)

By Douglas Kim

  • In the past several days, it has been reported that Hoban Group has raised its stake in Hanjin KAL Corp (180640 KS) to more than 20%.
  • Now, Hoban Group’s stake in Hanjin Kal is less than 1%  than the controlling shareholding entities led by Walter Cho (Chairman of the Hanjin Group). 
  • My base case valuation of Hanjin Kal suggests implied NAV per share of 104,060 won per share which is 21% lower than its current share price.

Primer: World-Link Logistics (Asia) (6083 HK) – Jul 2026

By αSK

  • World-Link Logistics is an established logistics provider in Hong Kong and Macau with a niche focus on the resilient FMCG and F&B sectors, which provides a stable business foundation.
  • The company is facing significant profitability challenges, evidenced by a consistent decline in net income and profit margins over the past three fiscal years, despite steady revenue growth.
  • Valuation appears stretched, with P/E and P/B ratios trading at a premium to many regional peers, suggesting the market may have already priced in its stability, while underestimating margin pressures.

Rush Enterprises’ Peterbilt Expansion: Is The Truck Cycle Finally Bottoming?

By Baptista Research

  • Rush Enterprises, Inc. reported first quarter 2026 revenues of $1.68 billion with net income of $61.5 million, or $0.77 per diluted share, alongside a declared quarterly cash dividend of $0.19 per share.
  • The commercial vehicle market remained challenging, marked by historically low retail sales and ongoing effects from the freight recession, excess capacity, and economic uncertainty.
  • Despite these conditions, the company expressed the view that this quarter may represent the cycle’s trough, citing early positive signs such as improved freight rates, increased miles driven, and rising customer optimism, all of which contributed to greater quoting activity and order intake, particularly among large fleet customers.

Weekly Deals Digest (12 Jul) – Archion, Kakaku, Dentsu, Shengmu, Dida, Accent, Steadfast, Vault

By Arun George


Primer: Komaihaltec Inc (5915 JP) – Jul 2026

By αSK

  • Komaihaltec is a core player in Japan’s steel structure and bridge construction sector, poised to benefit from national infrastructure renewal programs targeting aging assets. However, the company faces challenges from declining revenues and volatile profitability, reflecting intense industry competition.
  • A strategic pivot towards the renewable energy sector, particularly in manufacturing towers for offshore wind turbines, presents a significant long-term growth opportunity. This leverages its core steel fabrication expertise and aligns with Japan’s national energy policy to increase domestic renewable energy production.
  • The stock appears undervalued on an asset basis (P/B of 0.3x), supported by a strong Smartkarma value score (5/5). This contrasts with a high P/E ratio, a result of recently depressed earnings, creating a mixed valuation picture for investors to consider.

AeroVironment Is Not Just Switchblade — LOCUST Hits 100% Interception!

By Baptista Research

  • AeroVironment reported record fourth quarter and full fiscal year 2026 financial results, highlighted by strong revenue growth, expanding profitability, and an increased backlog.
  • Fourth quarter revenue reached $642 million, marking 31% organic growth year-over-year and a 30% increase pro forma.
  • Full fiscal year revenue was nearly $2 billion, ahead of recent guidance and aligned with prior year expectations, supported by bookings totaling $2.7 billion.

MDA Space’s Latest Buyout Brings Huge Synergies & Bigger Risks!

By Baptista Research

  • MDA Space has moved to reshape its geointelligence business through a firm offer to acquire roughly 70% of Collecte Localisation Satellites, or CLS, for about €567 million, equivalent to C$920 million, while France’s space agency CNES would retain 30%.
  • The proposal follows a strong start to 2026, including 32% first-quarter revenue growth, a 19.5% adjusted EBITDA margin, a C$3.7 billion backlog, and continued preparation for the late-2026 launch of MDA CHORUS.
  • CLS adds a different layer to that growth profile: 14,000 customers across about 150 countries, approximately 1,200 employees, AI-driven Earth observation analytics, satellite IoT services, and expected 2026 revenue of €286 million.

Simpson Manufacturing’s $130 Million Pricing Bet: Can It Outrun Housing Weakness?

By Baptista Research

  • Simpson Manufacturing Company reported first quarter 2026 net sales of $588 million, representing a 9.1% increase year-over-year.
  • This growth was primarily attributed to pricing actions undertaken in 2025 contributing about 6% and favorable foreign exchange effects adding roughly 3%, partly offset by a 1% volume decline amid soft housing starts.
  • In North America, net sales rose 9.8% to $461.9 million, driven by a $31 million pricing benefit, though the market remained uneven across segments and geographies.

Sunrun Wants To Turn Homes Into AI Data Centers—But Wall Street Still Isn’t Buying It!

By Baptista Research

  • Sunrun has found one of the strangest and most attention-grabbing ways yet to tie residential solar to the AI boom: putting miniature AI data-center equipment inside customer homes.
  • The company’s new distributed AI compute pilot would place compute nodes in homes already equipped with Sunrun solar and battery systems, pay participating homeowners for hosting the hardware, and sell AI inference capacity to enterprise compute buyers.
  • The idea is easy to understand and almost impossible to ignore: instead of waiting years for giant data centers, Sunrun wants to use its installed home-energy network as a faster, distributed compute layer.

Creek & River (4763 JP): Q1 FY02/27 flash update

Korea Small Cap Gem #65: Korea Airport Service

  • In addition, margins, return on equity (ROE) and leverage have also improved.
  • The company is making real progress in meeting or exceeding the very comprehensive set of targets it set for FY2029. 

Sanli Environmental Limited – Getting Back On Track

By SAC Capital

  • Sanli Environmental Limited reported mixed financial results for FY2026.
  • The Group’s FY26 revenue declined by 11.4% YoY to S$139.6 million due to extended project timelines and resulting delays in revenue recognition.

Trading Fanuc’s Volatility Smile: AI Robotics, Tariff Risks, and the DEC26 Option Strategy

By Jay Cameron

  • Fanuc seeing several ups and downs after a record breaking May for the stock. 
  • Although some risks remain such as tariff risks, and cost risks related to oil price and geopolitical risks, it may be an opportune time for volatility strategies.
  • Fanuc’s cash flows, and cash reserve policy keep the company resilient to short term effects.  

Asian Bond Monitor: No Oil Unwind (Yet)

By Warut Promboon

  • What has changed since our ABM in May is the vulnerable ceasefire, which President Trump called it over, and the partial unwind of the oil-driven war premium.  
  • The oil shock has partially unwound and growth data has held up but inflation and rates remain elevated for a different reason; a hawkish new Fed Chairman.
  • We maintain our bearish stance on fixed rate bonds on elevated and volatile oil prices which should result in elevated rates. We remain positive in Asian credit fundamentals

Greaves Cotton’s Transformation: From Three-Wheeler Diesel to Diversified Engineering Platform

By Sudarshan Bhandari

  • Greaves Cotton is a 165-year-old engineering company transitioning beyond diesel engines. FY26 consolidated revenue grew 18% to INR 3,437 crore, led by diversified verticals.
  • Three-Wheeler diesel engines, once 80% of revenue, are now roughly a quarter, reducing regulatory risk as Ampere’s pending IPO tests EV appetite.
  • Greaves is now exploring acquisitions and JVs in defence, aerospace, auto components and energy solutions, making execution and capital allocation the key monitorables.

  • The deal includes about $1.175 billion in cash and $475 million in MasTec common shares, and it follows a record first quarter in which MasTec reported $3.829 billion of revenue, $284 million of adjusted EBITDA, $1.39 of adjusted EPS, and a record $20.3 billion backlog.
  • The timing is notable because management has already been highlighting data centers, grid reliability, power generation, telecom fiber, and mission-critical infrastructure as major long-term demand drivers.

ARCHION Corporation (543A JP) – The Orphaned Re-IPO Nobody Is Pricing

By Mo Aziz

  • Japan’s largest truck group listed with no earnings history, three-analyst rump coverage, and vendors still marking a phantom ¥220bn market cap against ¥1.0tn actual.
  • FY3/27 guidance of ¥110bn operating profit (+52%) is engineered margin recovery, not cyclical hope: plant consolidation, merged procurement, and a maiden ¥8 dividend, with synergies still unquantified.
  • Initiate BUY, TP ¥450 (+19%) on 16.6x FY3/27E EPS, ~20% above a stale ¥374 consensus. Accumulate through the 22–27 July offering window.

Knack Packaging IPO: Inside the Growth Story of a PLWPP Packaging Manufacturer

By Sudarshan Bhandari

  • The Rs. 439.5 crore IPO closed with heavy demand. Overall subscription was reported at ~83.3x, led by QIB and NII demand.
  • Knack sits in the branded bulk packaging shift: PLWPP bags, export customers, integrated manufacturing, and an estimated 10.1% share in India’s flexible bulk PLWPP market.
  • The IPO is not a deep-value issue at ~22.4x FY26 earnings, so future performance will depend on how efficiently the company scales capacity, manages working capital, and sustains margins.

  • Three businesses, one ticker: Starlink is the only profitable division worth ~12% of market cap; Launch has lost money 23/24 years; “AI” is ~US$26bn of GPU rental from two tenants.
  • SOTP: Connectivity US$252bn, Space US$40bn, AI US$130bn, plus ~US$50bn net cash = US$472bn (US$36/share) vs. US$2,046bn market cap. Probability-weighted across bear/base/bull: US$42.

Prolonged Consolidation to Continue for QQQ; Semiconductors/Memory Violating 20-Day MA

By Joe Jasper

  • 50-Day MAs have held on SPX and QQQ, but we’re concerned of a prolonged consolidation–primarily for QQQ and likely through mid-to-late-August–following the latest stumble for semiconductors, memory, and optical equipment.
  • The IWM and equal-weighted S&P 500 (RSP) remain leadership while Technology has continued to consolidate, and support remains at the 20-day MAs on IWM and RSP.
  • IWM and RSP leadership tells us this remains a healthy and broad-based bull market, and we believe the current “rotation trade” is likely to continue for at least another month.
