KRX Semicon Index Sep Rebalance — Watch Closely

By Sanghyun Park

  • 67 semi names screen into TMI Large-Mid; with stable churn, they’re a solid base for the Sept rebalance. Filter by ADTV and mkt cap to get likely basket.
  • Last year’s Sept rebalance saw wild moves, especially in the week prior, driven by low visibility from the non-public BMI universe, which amped up uncertainty and volatility.
  • This year’s TMI-based rebalance may see more front-loading and smoother flows, but with low market awareness and no playbook yet, chunky moves are still on the table.

DH Shipbuilding IPO Valuation Analysis

By Douglas Kim

  • Our base case valuation of DH Shipbuilding IPO is target price of 67,576 won per share, which represents a 35% upside to the high end of the IPO price range.
  • Given the solid upside, we have a Positive view of this IPO. Our valuation sensitivity analysis suggests a market cap range of 2.3 trillion won to 2.9 trillion won. 
  • Our target valuation multiple of 5.7x is 20% premium to the comps’ P/B valuation multiple which is justified due to the company’s higher ROE, operating margins and stronger balance sheet.
