XP Power – Fully funded for medium-term growth

By Edison Investment Research

With weaker end demand than originally expected in Q323, XP Power’s trading update confirmed a lower outlook for FY23 operating profit and a consequent rise in net debt. To mitigate the risk of hitting debt covenants, the company has initiated a series of cost and cash saving measures, renegotiated its debt covenants and undertaken a fundraise. With revised debt covenants in place and reduced gearing, we believe XP is now well positioned for growth as end market conditions improve.

By Hamed Khorsand

Daily Brief Japan: Renesas Electronics, Shidax Corp, Olympus Corp, Softbank Group and more

By | Daily Briefs, Japan

In today’s briefing:

  • Renesas Clean-Up Block Trade – Overhang Out of The Way And Time To Own Again
  • Shidax (4837) – Nikkei Scoops MBO (Anncmt Post-Close), Family Wants to Buy at ¥800 Which Is Too Low
  • Olympus (7733) – OP Hit but Additional Buyback; Positive Dynamics but Flow Risks Persist
  • Softbank (9984 JP): WeWork Hangover and Other Challenges


Renesas Clean-Up Block Trade – Overhang Out of The Way And Time To Own Again

By Travis Lundy

  • INCJ made a lot of money on Renesas Electronics (6723 JP) over the years and arguably did a great job helping the firm change direction. Now they are out.
  • Last night they launched a block sale through JPM and Bof A for 130.2317mm shares. They priced the heavily-oversubscribed deal at a discount of 8% or ¥2143/share. 
  • That’s a big discount (so bad broking) for such oversubscription on a clearly-flagged deal but now they are out. 

Shidax (4837) – Nikkei Scoops MBO (Anncmt Post-Close), Family Wants to Buy at ¥800 Which Is Too Low

By Travis Lundy

  • 13mos ago I wrote about Shidax Corp (4837 JP) which an interesting restructuring past and a refreshing governance outlook going forward in Shidax Outlook May Change – Better Governance Matters
  • The stock was up 25% in that period to yesterday. Today, a Nikkei article mid-day suggests the Shida family will launch an MBO. Stock popped. Earnings out after the close.
  • The article suggests a take-private MBO with Oisix ra daichi (3182 JP) again supporting the deal. 30 minutes ago Shidax responded saying an offer was put forth at ¥800/share.

Olympus (7733) – OP Hit but Additional Buyback; Positive Dynamics but Flow Risks Persist

By Travis Lundy

  • Yesterday, Olympus Corp (7733 JP) announced Q2 earnings which were  trifle light, and announced a sharp downward revision to full-year OP despite higher revs on weaker yen.
  • OP takes a hit because of expenses related to the shutdown of Veran Medical device sales (announced 6 Sep, “causing” a 2.4% share price fall the next day).
  • They also announced an ¥80bn buyback. That should be worth 3.0-3.5% of shares out, but overhang exists. The label is the label. The details are inside. They matter.

Softbank (9984 JP): WeWork Hangover and Other Challenges

By Victor Galliano

  • Softbank’s exposure to WeWork continues to haunt it beyond the close of 2QFY23, due to its credit support agreements
  • Aside from WeWork, we continue to see risks to valuations supporting the NAV; in particular, Arm Holdings and SVF2 which accounted for 45% of group equity value
  • Softbank shares trade at a 45% discount to the stated NAV yet there is downside risk to Arm’s valuation along with questions over private company valuations at SVF1 and SVF2

  • EQD | Volatility Update: Weekly Review of Vol Changes and Best Trades- Santa Rally?


[Tencent(700 HK,BUY,TP HK$425)Target Price Change]: International Game and Advertising Drove Results

By Eric Wen

  • We expect that Tencent’s C3Q23’s revenue/non-IFRS operating profit/IFRS net income to be 2.3%/3.3%/4.2% above consensus.
  • We raised estimates of Tencent’s international game growth to 12% YoY to reflect the success. We also expect Tencent’s advertising business to benefit from e-commerce advertisers’ competition.
  • We raised the Target Price to HK$425, which implies 22.4X PE in 2024.

SMIC (981.HK): Probably A Double U-Shape Correction for Around 2 Years Until the End of 2024F.

By Patrick Liao

  • Based on the some judgments, SMIC consider it will be relatively flat demand in 2024F.
  • SMIC took into consideration geopolitical instability and allowed equipment vendors to submit orders in advance. 
  • Currently, only a few manufacturers are stockpiling smartphones in response to this wave. The overall industry remains relatively stable.

HHGrace. Yikes! Things Just Got Really Ugly

By William Keating

  • Revenues of US$568.5 million, down 10% sequentially and down 9.7% YoY, at the bottom of the previously guided range.
  • Net loss of $25.8 million compared to a profit of $7.8 million in the previous quarter and $65.5 million in the year ago period.
  • With current quarter gross margins in the 2-5% range, HHGrace has flipped from best in class in H123 to the worst in class now.

[KE Holdings (BEKE US,BUY,TP US$24.5)TP Change]:Steady Recovery with Catalysts for Market Share Gain

By Eric Wen

  • KE Holdings’ (Beike) C3Q23 revenue was 7.7%/11.6% higher than our est./cons., non-GAAP net income beat our est./cons. by 35%/119%. Existing home sales and non-transaction biz drove the bottom line beat.
  • We expect Beike C4Q23 to grow 20% YoY, 33% in existing home and 5% in new home, supported by gradual recovery of home transaction and Beike’s market share gain;
  • We reiterate BUY rating and raised TP by US$0.5 to US$24.5/ADS, also taking into account of progress in home renovation and rental management.

Renesas Electronics (6723 JP): INCJ Clean Up; Index Buying Smaller than Expected

By Brian Freitas


Boustead Plantations (BPLANT MK): LTAT Emerges as a White Knight

By Arun George

  • Boustead Plantations (BPLANT MK) shares have been on a rollercoaster ride. As Kuala Lumpur Kepong (KLK MK) pulls its offer, LTAT has emerged as an unlikely white knight. 
  • LTAT aims to launch a general offer at RM1.55 per share, in line with KLK’s aborted MGO price. The government will backstop LTAT’s funding for the offer. 
  • LTAT is vague on approvals and timing. Regulatory approvals should be a formality as LTAT is the Armed Forces pension fund. At the last close, the gross spread was 10.7%. 

Zeekr IPO Early Look – Possibly US$0 to US$7bn Revenue in Under Three Years

By Sumeet Singh

  • Zeekr, a premium EV brand by Geely, aims to raise around US$1bn (estimated) in its US listing in 1H2023. GS, BofA and MS are said to be running the deal.
  • Zeekr was formed in Mar 2021 as a JV between Geely and its founder. Its first model was launched in Apr 21 with deliveries starting in Oct 21.
  • In this note, we take an early look at the IPO based on publicly avaiable information.

Hollysys: Court Injunction Hearing Is Key

By David Blennerhassett

  • Talk about your never-ending story. I count at least seven non-binding Offers for  Hollysys Automation Technologies (HOLI US) since December 2020, three of which are still on the table.
  • The latest, at US$26/share, was pitched earlier this week from Ascendent Capital Partners; who along with Changli Wang, Hollysys’ founder, previously made an US$23/share Offer in August 2021.
  • However, all these Offers are largely moot until we get closure at the court injunction hearing. If that occurs. Separately, I had a solid discussion with Hollysys’ IR. 

ChiNext/​​​ChiNext50 Index Rebalance Preview: Time for a Turnaround

By Brian Freitas

  • With the review period complete, we forecast 9 changes for the ChiNext Index (SZ399006 INDEX EQUITY) and 5 changes for the ChiNext 50 Index in December.
  • Some of the potential adds will also have passive flows from the CSI Smallcap 500 Index trackers at the same time as the ChiNext Index rebalance.
  • The potential adds have slipped a lot versus the potential deletes over the last few months as the National Team has tried to stabilise the market via ETF creations.

P.S. Mitsubishi Construction (1871 JP): Taisei’s Partial Tender Offer

By Arun George

  • Ps Mitsubishi Construction (1871 JP)/PSMIC announced a partial tender offer for Taisei Corp (1801 JP) at JPY1,010 per share, a 22.4% premium to the undisturbed price. 
  • The partial offer is for a minimum of 20.4 million shares (42.94% ownership ratio) and a maximum of 23.8 million shares (50.20% ownership ratio). 
  • Irrevocables represent a 42.94% ownership ratio, satisfying the minimum acceptance condition. The offer is attractive and represents a ten-year high. The tender offer runs from 10 November to 11 December.

WT Microelectronics Placement – Wouldn’t Be Difficult to Digest

By Ethan Aw

  • WT Microelectronics (3036 TT) major shareholder, WPG Holdings (3702 TT), seeks to raise up to approximately NT5.15bn (US$159m) through a secondary block deal, selling approximately 40m shares (4.5% of TSO). 
  • The deal is a small one to digest at 3.6 days of three month ADV and 4.1% of current mcap.
  • In this note, we will talk about the placement and run the deal through our ECM framework.

XP Power – Fully funded for medium-term growth

By Edison Investment Research

With weaker end demand than originally expected in Q323, XP Power’s trading update confirmed a lower outlook for FY23 operating profit and a consequent rise in net debt. To mitigate the risk of hitting debt covenants, the company has initiated a series of cost and cash saving measures, renegotiated its debt covenants and undertaken a fundraise. With revised debt covenants in place and reduced gearing, we believe XP is now well positioned for growth as end market conditions improve.


AEye, Inc. – 3Q23 Earnings Show Expenses Now in Line with Automotive-First Strategy

By Water Tower Research

  • 3Q23 revenue of $0.2 million was slightly below expectations, but EPS was slightly better than expected at a loss of $0.05 versus consensus of a loss of $0.06.
  • CEO Matt Fisch said, “the lidar market has shifted from a ‘battle for the best technology’ to a ‘battle for the best path to commercialization.’”
  • Fisch continues to be bullish and upbeat as AEye’s technology continues to win awards.
