Hyosung Heavy (298040 KS): Positioning Not Extreme as Index Inclusion Nears
- In an all too familiar sight across a range of stocks across a range of markets, Hyosung Heavy Industries‘ stock price has doubled over the last 3 months.
- The increased market cap should result in index inclusion and passive trackers are estimated to buy 358k shares (US$291m; 4.5x ADV) at the close on 26 August.
- Hyosung Heavy has outperformed most peers over the last few months but still trades at reasonable relative valuations. Positioning does not appear excessive relative to peers.

- Sai Gon Cargo Service (SCS VN) reported flat earnings for Q2 FY25, with operating margins/net margins at 75%/65% and ROCEs topping 50%.
- The tariff increases (16% YoY) offset the degrowth in volumes (-5%YoY) and the increase in effective taxation (from 11% to 20%).

AeroEdge (7409 JP)
- Earlier this month, Substack writer Gezzogero mentioned AeroEdge (7409 JP) (7409 JP — US$88 million) on his blog.
- I thought it was a fantastic write-up and wanted to dig into it myself.
