CATL (3750 HK) H-Share IPO: Fast Entry to Global Indices Is Touch & Go

By Brian Freitas

  • Contemporary Amperex Technology (CATL) (300750 CH) could raise up to US$5.1bn in its H-share listing if the Offer Size Adjustment Option and the Overallotment Option are both exercised.
  • There is a huge allocation to cornerstone investors that is locked up for 6 months. That significantly reduces float and the probability of Fast Entry inclusion to global indexes.
  • CATL (3750 HK) will be added to Southbound Stock Connect from the open of trading on 16 June following the end of the Price Stabilisation period.

KOSPI Size Indices: Overlaps Between Active & Passive Flows

By Brian Freitas

  • The review period for the September rebalance of the KOSPI Size Indices commenced on 1 June and will end on 31 August.
  • Nearing halfway in the review period, we forecast 53 migrating stocks. Among new listings, 1 stock could be added to LargeCap, 3 to MidCap and 1 to SmallCap.
  • Two potential downward migrations could be deleted from a global index in August. The new listing that is a potential LargeCap add could be added to a globalindex in September.

7&I (3382 JP) – Alimentation Couche-Tard Walks, Lobbing a Letter Bomb

By Travis Lundy

  • Alimentation Couche-Tard (ATD CN) which proposed a takeover to Seven & I Holdings (3382 JP) almost a year ago, has walked. They delivered a letter bomb on the way out.
  • The letter is titled “ALIMENTATION COUCHE-TARD ANNOUNCES WITHDRAWAL OF PROPOSAL TO ACQUIRE SEVEN & I HOLDINGS DUE TO LACK OF ENGAGEMENT.” This is not the first time they have complained.
  • The letter is not aimed at the 7&i Board or at ATD stakeholders. It is meant to drive a wedge between 7&i active shareholders and its management team. We’ll see.

[Japan Activism] Mitsui Matsushima (1518 JP) Buyback Tender – Surprising Results and Implications

By Travis Lundy

  • Today, Mitsui Matsushima (1518 JP) announced the results of its Buyback Tender Offer to repurchase up to 3,999,999 shares (35.8% of shares out ex-Treasury) at ¥5,000/share. 
  • Murakami-San owned 42% of the voting rights at announcement, then bought more on the dip just below ¥5,000/share. 
  • The Tender Offer Buyback was “successful” in that it bought back 3.3mm shares. But the result was FAR more interesting than I expected. Surprising Results with Surprising Implications

Ryohin Keikaku (7453 JP): Global Index Inclusion Likely in August

By Brian Freitas

  • Ryohin Keikaku (7453 JP)‘s stock price has more than doubled this year and the increased market cap could now result in a global index inclusion.
  • Ryohin Keikaku (7453 JP) has outperformed its peers by a BIG margin since its inclusion in the Nikkei 225 (NKY INDEX) in September 2024.
  • There appears to be significant positioning in the stock. Given the huge outperformance over the last few months, trim into strength.

CoreWeave (CRWV US): Forecasted Addition to Nasdaq100 Replacing Ansys Post-Acquisition

By Dimitris Ioannidis

  • The acquisition of Ansys Inc (ANSS US) by Synopsys Inc (SNPS US) has been completed today, 17 July and Ansys is expected to be deleted from Nasdaq100.
  • CoreWeave (CRWV US) is forecasted to be added to Nasdaq100 as the replacement because it is the highest ranked eligible non-constituent following its recent listing on 28 March 2025.
  • Top addition candidate for the December 2025 annual review is now Kimberly Clark (KMB US) following its listing transfer from NYSE to Nasdaq on 30 May 2025.

Douzone Bizon: First Real Test for Korea’s De Facto Mandatory Tender?

By Sanghyun Park

  • Founder Kim reportedly looking to offload his 21.5% stake, with EQT eyeing a ~30% control block including Shinhan’s. No succession plans, deal said to be under serious review.
  • Kim’s control premium ask could trigger Korea’s first test case of expanded fiduciary duty, with minority holders potentially suing if tender terms aren’t seen as fair under new rules.
  • Buyer likely prepping a Q3 tender offer; key watch is how minority premium stacks vs control block — could be Korea’s first de facto test case of mandatory tender mechanics.

Nanjing Leads Biolabs IPO: Lead Asset Targets Niche Market; Path to Success Still Long

By Tina Banerjee

  • Nanjing Leads Biolabs has launched HK$1.1B IPO to fund its ongoing and planned clinical development and regulatory affairs of pipeline assets. The company has fetched cornerstone investment of ~HK$ 542M.
  • Lead product candidate, LBL-024 is being evaluated for extra-pulmonary neuroendocrine carcinoma. Leads Biolabs expects to file the first BLA for LBL-024 by 3Q26 and anticipate obtaining conditional approval by 2Q27.
  • Positive investor sentiment toward Chinese biotech companies and near-term catalyst being Phase 3 data readout for LBL-024 in early 2026 are the main reasons to subscribe.

HEW: Inflation Persists, But Cuts Loom

By Phil Rush

  • Persistent upside inflation surprises and sticky wage growth are lifting hawkish market narratives, defying central bank and consensus hopes for a quick return to target.
  • UK inflation jumped well above forecast in June, strengthening the hawkish case, while US core inflation shows tariffs adding to excessive underlying price pressures.
  • Next week, attention turns to the ECB decision, July flash PMIs, and UK public finances, as markets weigh central banks’ willingness to ignore resurgent inflation.

Vivendi: Mandatory Buyout in Motion – High-Conviction Risk Arb with 30%+ Upside

By Jesus Rodriguez Aguilar

  • Vivendi trades at a 37.7% discount to NAV, with a mandated buyout by Bolloré offering a realistic upside of 22–37% within six months pending French Supreme Court review.
  • The AMF has ruled that Bolloré must launch a tender offer. Vivendi’s simplified structure, anchored by UMG, enables clear valuation through a detailed SOTP showing €5.26/share NAV.
  • With liquidity exceeding €3bn, Bolloré can finance a buyout of minority shareholders. Even conservative pricing scenarios imply strong returns for arbitrage investors seeking event-driven upside.

If Fed Chair Is Dismissed, Then How Will Gold React?

By Amrutha Raj

  • The potential dismissal of the Federal Reserve Chair by Trump has created uncertainty in the markets. In the short term, this situation is favorable for gold for multiple reasons.
  • A declining U.S. dollar and increasing inflation expectations, fueled by worries regarding the independence of central banks, are expected to elevate gold prices.
  • In spite of increasing prices and a rise in call options, the implied volatility for gold has continued to decrease, notwithstanding a mild uptick observed recently.

Japan Strategy | Modest Gains Amid Mounting Uncertainty

By Mark Chadwick

  • The Nikkei 225 rose 0.6% last week, a measured gain underpinned by strength in technology and defensives, despite intensifying headwinds from U.S. trade policy, domestic political fragility, and currency volatility.
  • The JPY weakened 0.8% vs USD, closing at 148.67. Japanese bonds came under pressure, with 10Y JGBs +3bps to 1.53%, reflecting nerves ahead of this weekend’s Upper House elections

  • India’s CRDMO sector is expanding rapidly, with a projected market size of USD 14 billion by 2028, driven by increased demand for biologics and integrated manufacturing solutions.

Charted Insights: NBFCs Continue to Outpace Industry Credit Growth — Stronger, Faster, Deeper

By Sudarshan Bhandari

  • NBFCs are consistently delivering higher credit growth than the overall lending industry across most asset classes—driven by demand from underserved segments and enabled by tech-led agility.
  • From FY20–25, NBFCs saw higher CAGR in 5 of the 7 loan segments, and this trend is projected to continue through FY26—reinforcing their systemic importance in India’s credit landscape.
  • NBFCs are no longer niche lenders. With higher market share in fast-growing segments like personal loans, MSME, microfinance, and consumer durables, they are outgrowing the systemic pace—indicating stronger tailwinds

AUCTUS ON FRIDAY – 18/07/2025

By Auctus Advisors

  • AUCTUS PUBLICATIONS ________________________________________ Arrow Exploration (AXL LN/CN)C; Target price of £0.70 per share: AB wells deliver flow rates above expectations – Current production ranges between 4,600 and 4,800 bbl/d driven by strong performance from two new horizontal wells at Alberta Llanos (AB).
  • AB-HZ5, onstream for ~2 weeks, is producing 1,790 bbl/d (895 bbl/d net to Arrow), while AB-HZ4, online for over a month, continues to produce 880 bbl/d (440 bbl/d net).

  • The report shows Hong Kong’s office net absorption — the net change in leased space accounting for new leases, expansions and vacancies — turned positive in the second quarter of 2025. The market recorded 147,700 square feet (13,700 square meters) of net take-up, breaking a two-quarter streak of negative figures and signaling an improvement in leasing activity.

  • Vivendi: Mandatory Buyout in Motion – High-Conviction Risk Arb with 30%+ Upside
  • Clearing a Common Misconception — No Pre-Cover Needed in Hanil Stock-For-Stock Swap
  • Next Science Asset Sale to Demetra Holdings: Potential 13% Upside with Capital Return and Strategic Acquisition


Douzone Bizon: First Real Test for Korea’s De Facto Mandatory Tender?

By Sanghyun Park

  • Founder Kim reportedly looking to offload his 21.5% stake, with EQT eyeing a ~30% control block including Shinhan’s. No succession plans, deal said to be under serious review.
  • Kim’s control premium ask could trigger Korea’s first test case of expanded fiduciary duty, with minority holders potentially suing if tender terms aren’t seen as fair under new rules.
  • Buyer likely prepping a Q3 tender offer; key watch is how minority premium stacks vs control block — could be Korea’s first de facto test case of mandatory tender mechanics.

Vivendi: Mandatory Buyout in Motion – High-Conviction Risk Arb with 30%+ Upside

By Jesus Rodriguez Aguilar

  • Vivendi trades at a 37.7% discount to NAV, with a mandated buyout by Bolloré offering a realistic upside of 22–37% within six months pending French Supreme Court review.
  • The AMF has ruled that Bolloré must launch a tender offer. Vivendi’s simplified structure, anchored by UMG, enables clear valuation through a detailed SOTP showing €5.26/share NAV.
  • With liquidity exceeding €3bn, Bolloré can finance a buyout of minority shareholders. Even conservative pricing scenarios imply strong returns for arbitrage investors seeking event-driven upside.

Clearing a Common Misconception — No Pre-Cover Needed in Hanil Stock-For-Stock Swap

By Sanghyun Park

  • Some still think we must close the borrow pre-settlement in a stock-for-stock merger. But KSD handles it fine — no need to pre-cover if shares stay lendable post-swap.
  • Spread flipped negative — rare setup in Korea. Tight float on both sides (insider-heavy) is killing liquidity and borrow, leading to this reverse arb play.
  • Deal break risk is minimal, new share listing is relatively soon, and the negative spread may widen—making this a compelling setup for a reverse arb play.

Next Science Asset Sale to Demetra Holdings: Potential 13% Upside with Capital Return and Strategic Acquisition

By Special Situation Investments

  • Next Science plans to distribute net proceeds of US$30m from asset sale to shareholders, equating to A$0.158/share.
  • The asset sale requires shareholder approval, with major stakeholders like the Walker family likely supporting the transaction.
  • Uncertainties include FDA compliance issues, tax treatment of distribution, and potential changes in net proceeds estimate.
