The sentiment is cautious but not hostile, with appraisal risk considered manageable, making the spread a potential convergence play.

In contrast, Sanghyun Park adopts a bearish stance in another report titled “EB Event Trade Setup: HD KSOE Lining up a New Deal with HD Hyundai Heavy as the Underlying.” Park delves into the EB event trade setup where HD KSOE plans to issue a new zero-coupon, 2% stake in HD Hyundai Heavy with a premium, aiming to raise significant funds. With Korea’s Commercial Act revision looming, Park suggests a strategy involving shorting HD Hyundai Heavy triggered by HD KSOE’s board approval before the regulatory changes. Park recommends hedging with a long position in HD KSOE due to ongoing sector catalysts.
