In today’s briefing:
- New World Resources (NWC AU)’s Possible Interloper
- Tencent To Acquire Nexon? Time and Price Lining Up for a Final Deal?
New World Resources (NWC AU)’s Possible Interloper
- On the 21st May 2025, copper miner New World Resources (NWC AU) inked a Scheme with Central Asia Metals (CAML LN) at A$0.05/share, a punchy 95.7% premium to NWC’s 30-day VWAP.
- Copper plays are definitely in vogue after Harmony Gold Mining (HAR SJ)‘s recent Offer for MAC Copper (MAC AU), and Bastion Minerals’ tilt for Xanadu Mines (XAM AU).
- NWC closed up 4.2% yesterday, and was briefly through terms, again, today (as I type). On decent volume. Opportunistic investor (s) or a third party bidder?
Tencent To Acquire Nexon? Time and Price Lining Up for a Final Deal?
- Tencent has been interested in acquiring Nexon for more than six years. However, the timing and price were not right for such a deal to take place in the past.
- The higher probability scenario is for Kim’s family members to sell when the timing and price is right. This time around, a $15 billion could be the right price.
- Late founder Kim’s family members own a 44.4% stake in Nexon through NXC Corp and its affiliate NXMB BV. Kim’s wife and daughters own a 67.6% stake in NXC Corp.
