SK Innovation (096770) Earnings: 4Q Operating Profit and Net Loss Miss Estimates, Shares Fall

SK Innovation on Smartkarma

Analyst coverage of SK Innovation on Smartkarma reveals mixed sentiments among researchers. Douglas Kim‘s report highlights that the National Pension Service (NPS) is poised to vote against the merger between SK Innovation and SK E&S, expressing concerns over potential shareholder value destruction. Sustinvest also recommends institutional investors vote against the merger due to an unfavorable merger ratio. NPS’s possible exercise of appraisal rights could disrupt the M&A process.

In contrast, Sanghyun Park‘s analysis focuses on the trading implications of NPS’s opposition. If NPS decides to exercise its appraisal rights, there could be significant trading considerations, especially if the spread exceeds 5%. Park’s report suggests that SK Innovation may need to enhance its stock price to deter NPS from exercising its rights, potentially affecting the outcome of the merger.
