Last Week in Event SPACE: Shinsei Bank, China Everbright, Rakuten, Sony Corp
- Expect some upset on SBI Shinsei Bank (8303 JP)‘s Offer, the possibility of some activism, but it all plays out in the back end. Not the front end.
- Rakuten (4755 JP) is doing a large equity offering to get the monkey off its back with regard to over-leverage, near-term debt refinancing, and WC for Rakuten Mobile.
- Fund manager China Everbright (165 HK)‘s implied stub and simple ratio (CEL / Everbright Securities Co (A) (601788 CH)) are at multi-year lows.
Official Results of KOSPI 200 Sector Indices Rebalancing: Kakao Pay’s Sector Change Confirmed
- The fact that KS200 IT has a significantly higher AUM provides a flow trading opportunity. This is due to the change in GICS for Kakao Pay from IT to Financials.
- It has been observed that Kakao Pay’s DTV has recently decreased significantly. This may result in the flow size reaching up to 1.4 times DTV.
- It is advisable to design an outright short position for day trading purposes. Additionally, a more aggressive approach can be considered by combining a long position on Samsung SDS.
