Last Week in Event SPACE: Shinko Electric, REA Group, Macromill, CNBM, Prosus/Tencent
- Shinko Electric Industries (6967 JP). Done. Finally. Look at whether you could borrow shares just before the close of the tender and short tender and buy back post ex-date
- REA Group Ltd (REA AU) rolls over as Costar Group (CSGP US) bets big on key rival Domain Domain Holdings Australia (DHG AU).
- Macromill (3978 JP)‘s tender extended. Still not a done deal. Look to buy shares at terms with the goal of NOT tendering and owning the back end.
Screen Holdings (7735 JP): 25%+ Upside Potential
- FY Mar-25 guidance has been raised again after strong 3Q results. Growth should continue next fiscal year with rising demand from TSMC.
- Sales to Chinese customers bounced back strongly last quarter, defying predictions. Capacity adds and process upgrades should continue to drive demand from China.
- FPD, PCB and printing equipment are now profitable and should remain so. More efficient production and slower growth in depreciation should also support the operating margin.
