June Value-Up Rebalance: Hype Fading, But Key Flags Remain
- June rebalance drops mid-May, goes live post-KOSPI 200 expiry. Back to 100 names—net outflow setup with more deletes than adds. ETFs rebalance into June 12 close.
- KRX confirmed 10 special entries for June; results likely out in May with Value-Up rebalance. 12 protected names stay. Stocks over 10% weight, like Samsung and SK Hynix, remain.
- Value-Up disclosure isn’t mandatory yet—rule starts June 2026. But compliant firms get a screening boost. Around 76 spots remain, filled via quant screen after excluding 24 protected names.
Samsung SDI: Rights Offering Capital Raise Amount Lowered by 14% to 1.7 Trillion Won
- Samsung SDI (006400 KS) has lowered the rights offering capital raise amount by 14% to 1.7 trillion won, mainly due to the recent carnage in the global equity markets.
- The expected rights offering price has been lowered to 146,200 won, which is 14.9% lower than current price.
- We remain negative on Samsung SDI’s rights offering capital raise mainly due to shares dilution risk. We also remain concerned that the weak demand for EVs globally could last longer.
A Pair Trade Between DL Holdings and DL E&C
- In this insight, we discuss a pair trade between DL Holdings Co (000210 KS) (go long) and DL E&C (375500 KS) (go short).
- In the past three months, DL Holdings’ share price is down 9.9% versus DL E&C which is up 21%. We believe this gap has become too excessive.
- The shares sold short volume/total traded volume ratio is more than double for DL E&C versus DL Holdings from 31 March to 9 April.
