KCC Corp: Taking a Closer Step to Separating the Ownership Structures of the KCC Group

By Douglas Kim

  • There is an increasing probability that KCC Corp is closer to separating the ownership structures of the three Chung brothers regarding the various KCC Group related companies.
  • KCC’s 9.17% stake in Samsung C&T is worth 2.8 trillion won. KCC’s stake in Samsung C&T is worth 117% of KCC’s own market cap. 
  • According to our valuation analysis, it suggests NAV of 355,925 won per share, representing a 30% upside from current levels.

KRX’s Official SSF/SSO Reshuffle Results: Trading Considerations

By Sanghyun Park

  • The reshuffle results align with expectations, but the decision to list 11 KOSDAQ Global stocks in April is surprising. Local authorities seem to prioritize boosting the derivatives market for liquidity.
  • Ecopro Materials’ SSF listing, earlier than expected, attracts attention, potentially leading to an unusual basis pattern, coinciding with a major lockup release on May 17th.
  • We should also be wary of a pattern akin to last July’s in KOSDAQ stocks. Spot prices of recent SSFs showed a pronounced short-term uptrend, especially in KOSDAQ, versus KOSPI.
