Got the BBIG Rebalancing Results: SK Innovation Is the Trade This Week

By Sanghyun Park

  • Real alpha? Tight basket means outsized passive flows. The play? SK Innovation, no contest.
  • Samsung SDI faces -0.54x ADTV outflows. Other movers: Netmarble 0.68x, Wemade Max 0.54x, NHN -0.46x ADTV.
  • Net-Net? SK Innovation is the trade. Long here, hedge short on Samsung SDI or the broader Battery space.

By Rahul Jain

  • Strong focus on capacity enhancement. Increasing steelmaking capacity by 65% over the next 3 years to 15.9mt.
  • Recent margin dip provides attractive entry point. Promoters/insiders have bought into recent decline in stock price
  • Attractive long-term play on rising domestic steel demand. Low debt levels at <1.4x EBITDA allows for steady capacity addition.
