KCC Corp – To Issue 430 Billion Won in EB Using Its Treasury Shares?

By Douglas Kim

  • On 23 September, Hankyung Business Daily reported that Kcc Corp (002380 KS) plans to issue about 430 billion won worth of exchangeable bonds (EB) based on its own treasury shares.
  • We believe the overall impact on this EB issue on KCC is likely to be more negative as compared to the EB issue it conducted in July 2025. 
  • Our NAV valuation of KCC Corp suggests NAV per share of 508,467 won, which is 22% higher than current price.

Hanon Systems – A Rights Offering of 900 Billion Won

By Douglas Kim

  • Hanon Systems announced that it has finalized a rights offering capital increase of 900 billion won. This capital raise will involve 347.5 million common shares (51.2% of outstanding shares)
  • The expected rights offering price is 2,590 won per share, which is 18.4% lower than current price of 3,175 won. 
  • We remain Negative on Hanon Systems (018880 KS). There is a high probability that this rights offering deal will likely be a dilutive deal for the Hanon System shareholders.

Atlanta Electricals: IPO Priced at 30% Discount to Peers. Can Bid for Listing Pop

By Himanshu Dugar

  • Atlanta is the third largest manufcaturer of transformers in India. With recent capex coming online, it boasts of capacity and product offering in line with the market leaders.
  • The company has a strong order book of 1,600cr and given the fairly short execution timeline is positioned to deliver 25-30% growth in FY26.
  • We believe IPO is being fairly valued at 20-24 times FY26 EBITDA, implying a 30-35% discount vs market leader Transformers & Rectifiers (India) Ltd (TRIL IN) 

Canyon Resources Placement: Backstopped by Largest Shareholder; Strategic Assets

By Nicholas Tan

  • Canyon Resources (CAY AU) is looking to raise around US$132m in a primary placement.

Pre-IPO Xuanzhu Biopharmaceutical (PHIP Updates) – Some Points Worth the Attention

By Xinyao (Criss) Wang

  • Three Core Products need to face fierce competition, and there’re other similar products being included in NRDL reimbursement or VBP. So, we’re not optimistic about the commercialization performance of Xuanzhu.
  • The A-share listing committee had doubts about Xuanzhu’s pipeline strength and future commercialization outlook. So, Xuanzhu’s A-share IPO failed. The peak sales of three core products could be just RMB800mn-1bn. 
  • Considering Xuanzhu’s unsatisfactory growth outlook, market value is just RMB2.4-3 billion. This means that Xuanzhu is overvalued, and reasonable valuation could be even lower than that after Series B Financing.
