Aequitas: Shenzhen Han’s CNC IPO Lockup – $311m Lockup Expire for a Stock in the Datacenter Space
- Shenzhen Han’s CNC Technology (3200 HK) raised around US$615m in its H-share listing in Feb 2026. The lockup on its cornerstones is set to expire soon.
- Shenzhen Han’s CNC Technology is a leading specialized PCB production equipment solution provider in China, focused on the manufacturing and sale of equipment used across key stages of PCB manufacturing.
- In this note, we will talk about the lockup dynamics and possible placement.
Samsung C&T: Updated NAV Valuation + Positive Impact from Samsung Electronics’ Special Dividend
- In this insight, I provide an updated NAV valuation analysis of Samsung C&T and also discuss the impact of the positive impact from Samsung Electronics’ special dividend this year.
- My updated NAV analysis of Samsung C&T (028260 KS) suggests implied NAV of 564,790 won per share, representing 61% upside from current levels.
- I estimate Samsung C&T’s total DPS to be 11,905 won in 2026 (including special dividend from Samsung Electronics), which is 159% higher than the consensus estimate.
[Japan M&A] Nippon Yusen (9101) To Buy Out NS United Kaiun (9110) At ¥10,600/Share
- Nippon Yusen has agreed to buy super-majority control of Ns United Kaiun Kaisha (9110 JP) from erstwhile controller (and shareholder partner) Nippon Steel Corporation (5401 JP).
- The price is a nice premium, and an all-time high, and well above book – which is not bad for a shipping company. But it isn’t a super-high multiple.
- Together, friendly corporate and financial holders own near 60%. Domestic passive enough to get past 67%. This should be OK. Not much need or purpose for activism here.
Jvm Co Ltd (054950 KS): Synthetic Expert Call Transcript (31 Jul 2026)
- Backlog-to-revenue conversion timelines are bifurcated, taking 3 to 6 months for standard domestic ATDPS units, but stretching to 9 to 12 months for large-scale international central fill deployments due to highly customized local Pharmacy Management System (PMS) integrations and regulatory certification delays.
- Domestic market share is highly defensive at over 80%, but further growth is capped; international sustainability is heavily reliant on the Becton Dickinson (BD)/Parata partnership in North America, where JVM faces margin-squeeze risks and structural competition from multi-dose blister card packaging preferences in Europe.
- The true margin engine of JVM is its proprietary consumable business (specialized thermal paper and ink ribbons), yielding gross margins of 50% to 60%, which effectively subsidizes the lower-margin legacy hardware sales and represents a highly resilient recurring revenue stream as the global installed base grows.

MV Electrosystems IPO: Scaling Up for India’s Railway Power-Electronics Opportunity
- MV Electrosystems, a railway-focused power electronics company, is raising INR 290 crore fresh-issue IPO on July 30, 2026, at INR 400-425 per share, with listing expected August 6, 2026.
- The company reported a INR 12.70 crore FY26 loss even as its propulsion order book crossed INR 920 crore, making the IPO dependent on timely execution and margin recovery.
- Prototype approval provides the entry point, but FY27-FY28 deliveries, capacity utilisation, working-capital control and profitable order conversion will determine whether the growth story supports the valuation.
Wendt India: A Precision Grinding Solution Provider Making Turnaround
- Wendt India, a precision grinding solutions company, reported Q1 FY27 sales of INR 70.93 crore, up 37%, with PAT rising 63% and revenue improving for four consecutive quarters.
- Domestic machines returned to profit and fixed-cost absorption improved, but consolidated input costs rose sharply, while overseas subsidiaries lost INR 1.39 crore and remained the key earnings drag.
- Wendt’s recovery is strengthening, but a premium valuation demands sustained machine profitability, lower overseas losses, better input economics, and commercial returns from rising R&D and global expansion spending.
Primer: Energy Recovery (ERII US) – Jul 2026
- Energy Recovery is the dominant market leader in energy recovery devices for the growing seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) desalination industry, boasting a near-monopolistic position with its highly efficient and patented PX Pressure Exchanger technology.
- The company is attempting to diversify into new markets, most notably CO2 refrigeration and wastewater treatment, which represent significant long-term growth opportunities but also carry substantial execution risk. The company recently exited its CO2 retail grocery business to refocus on its core strengths.
- Financial performance is characterized by strong gross margins, reflecting its technological advantage, but also by revenue lumpiness tied to the timing of large-scale desalination projects. Recent project delays and a withdrawn 2026 guidance highlight near-term uncertainty.
