Aug 5 LG CNS Lockup Comes Off: Street Heating Up on Macquarie Exit Odds Surging
- Macquarie might fast-track its 21.5% LG CNS stake sale, shifting from patience to action — weighing staggered sell-down vs. OTC block to limit price impact.
- Macquarie’s well in the money — even with a deal discount, they can offload the stake, cover remaining debt, and still lock in solid upside.
- LG CNS is flying on AI hype, but Macquarie’s post-August 5 exit risk could flip the tape fast — overhang setup worth watching vs. other local AI plays.
