Carr’s Group’s trading in FY25 was in line with consensus, and the key seasonal period has started in line with management’s expectations.

[Japan ECM] MIGALO Holdings (5535 JP) Offering to Raise Capital, Generate Interest

By Travis Lundy

  • Migalo Holdings (5535 JP) is one of the rare TSE Prime-listed companies which got the boot from TOPIX, stayed in Prime, and is clawing its way back. 
  • As of end-March-25, it met all the criteria to stay in Prime and rejoin TOPIX. Now they are launching a primary offering, and this may presage an effort to rejoin.

Mirae Asset Group Companies Continuing To Buy Mirae Asset Life Insurance – A Prelude to Delisting?

By Douglas Kim

Primer: Punjab National Bank (PNB IN) – Sep 2025

By αSK

  • Punjab National Bank (PNB) is demonstrating a significant financial turnaround, marked by robust growth in net income and revenue over the past three years. This is supported by a strategic focus on improving asset quality and diversifying its lending portfolio.
  • As the second-largest public sector bank in India, PNB benefits from extensive government backing and a vast branch network, providing a stable, low-cost deposit base. The bank is leveraging this position to push for digital transformation and expand into high-growth sectors like renewable energy and infrastructure.
  • Key challenges remain, including managing historical non-performing assets (NPAs), navigating intense competition from private sector banks and fintech companies, and mitigating cybersecurity risks. Sustained execution of its strategic initiatives will be crucial for long-term value creation.

By αSK

  • On July 1, 2023, HDFC Limited, India’s largest mortgage lender, merged with HDFC Bank, the country’s largest private sector bank, in a historic $40 billion deal. This primer analyzes the pre-merger entity, HDFC Limited, and its integration into HDFC Bank.
  • The merger creates a financial services behemoth with a combined asset base of around ₹18 trillion, positioning it to capitalize on India’s burgeoning housing finance market. The home loan business is a central pillar of the merged entity’s growth strategy.
  • Significant cross-selling opportunities exist, as a large portion of HDFC Limited‘s customers did not bank with HDFC Bank, and vice versa. The integration aims to leverage HDFC Bank’s extensive distribution network and lower cost of funds to enhance the mortgage business.

Miniso (9896 HK)’s TOP TOY Angling For Labubu Mojo

By David Blennerhassett

  • In MINISO (9896 HK)’s (Possible) TOP TOY Spin-Off Is Priced In, based on (then) available figures and applying a holding company discount, post spin-off, MINISO’s upside appeared limited.

By Nico Rosti

  • In our previous Fast Retailing (9983 JP) insight we identified a potential BUY opportunity ahead of the September 25 rebalance, but the rally failed to materialize. 
  • The stock at the moment is oversold, according to our quantitative model, so we would like to review its tactical outlook in this insight.
  • Right now, the stock is the most oversold of all the Asian stocks we track, probability of WEEKLY reversal stands at 72%, after last week’s Close.

The Pinkfong Company IPO Valuation Analysis

By Douglas Kim

  • Our base case valuation of the Pinkfong Co is implied market cap of 671.4 billion won or target price of 46,369 won per share (over the next 6-12 months). 
  • This represents a 22% upside to the high end of the IPO price range. Given the reasonable upside, we have a Positive view of the Pinkfong Co IPO.
  • Pinkfong Co is one of the most sought-after acquisition candidates in the global animation industry and this is one of the major reasons why it should trade at premium valuation.

Investors Are Less Interested in Companies that Generate Little Cash Despite Shareholder Returns

By Aki Matsumoto

  • The shift toward management that creates value through dialogue with overseas investors is evident in the relationship between foreign shareholding ratios, capital profitability, and stock price valuations.
  • There is significant correlation between cash reserves and ROA. ROA, which reflects the cash flow returns generated by a business, is considered to be closely related to stock price valuation.
  • Companies with high cash generation capabilities and large amounts of cash on hand are expected to invest in generating more cash flow and return cash to shareholders.

Basilea Pharmaceutica — BARDA backs latest antibacterial programme

By Edison Investment Research

Basilea Pharmaceutica has secured a BARDA contract of up to $159m to advance ceftibuten-ledaborbactam etzadroxil, its recently in-licensed oral, Phase III-ready antibiotic for complicated urinary tract infections (cUTIs). The agreement replaces the original BARDA deal with the licensee Venatorx (October 2023) and provides $6m in committed near-term funding, with a further up to $153m in milestone-based payments, including support for the planned Phase III programme. We believe that this development meaningfully reduces clinical and funding risk for ceftibuten-ledaborbactam, which holds fast track and qualified infectious disease product designations from the FDA. Basilea has also recently received a commitment for a third $25m tranche under its separate $268m OTA funding agreement with BARDA ($93m committed to date), further validating its anti-infective pipeline.

Behind % Rising Female Board Members, How Many Companies Make Progress Reforming Their Boards?

By Aki Matsumoto

  • Amidst very modest improvements in corporate governance over the past few years, the percentage of female board members has steadily increased.
  • Even if the %of female board members rises, there’re concerns that it will be a repeat of governance reforms that have’t achieved to transform management into one that creates value.
  • Whether companies that step forward with diversity-conscious boards of directors can use this as a catalyst for management change, and promote female executive directors within companies, will be closely watched.
