HSCI Index Rebalance: Bloks (325 HK), Guming (1364 HK) & MIXUE (2097 HK) Added
- As expected, Bloks Group (325 HK), Guming Holdings (1364 HK) and Mixue Group (2097 HK) will be added to the Hang Seng Composite Index (HSCI) in June.
- The HSCI inclusion will result in the stocks being added to Southbound Stock Connect from the open of trading on 9 June and that could result in sizeable inflows.
- Use stock price spikes to trim positions in Bloks Group (325 HK) ahead of lock-up expiry in July, and in Guming Holdings (1364 HK) ahead of lock-up expiry in August.
Hyundai Motor India – Navigating Domestic Industry Stress
- Domestic Demand Sluggish:Hyundai Motor India (HYUNDAI IN)’s Q4 FY25 profit declined 3.7% YoY as weak domestic sales persisted, partly offset by 14% YoY export growth and price hikes.
- SUV Focus Drives Mix Shift: SUVs formed 69% of domestic volumes in Q4, benefiting from rising first-time buyer interest and driving improved average selling prices.
- Valuation Fair; Profitability to Soften: Stock trades at ~27x EPS. Near-term margins may be pressured by depreciation from the underutilized new Pune plant ramping up in FY26.
Last Week in Event SPACE: Tsuruha/Welcia Merger, Mayne Pharma, Canvst, Insignia Financial
- Glass Lewis has now joined ISS in recommending holders vote against the Tsuruha Holdings (3391 JP)/Welcia Holdings (3141 JP) merger, presumably as it relates to the ratio.
- Mayne Pharma (MYX AU), ASIC AND Cosette have effectively signed off on the Scheme Booklet’s veracity. That should be assuring to investors.
- Canvest Environmental Protection Group (1381 HK)‘s Scheme comfortable got up – despite a last minute hiccup – and poor governance – to adjourn the meeting.
