On 26 October, it was announced that Ecopro Innovation is selling 160k shares of Ecopro BM shares (0.2% of outstanding shares), representing about 32 billion won.
Although the percentage of shares is small relative to its outstanding shares, this additional selling is likely to further negatively impact Ecopro BM’s shares in the near term.
Ecopro BM’s shares have seen a significant drop in price over the past few months, but its current P/E (87.3x in 2023) and EV/EBITDA (46.9x in 2023) multiples remain unattractive.

J&T Global Express IPO: Trading Debut

By Arun George

J&T priced its IPO at a fixed price of HK$12.00 per share to raise the gross proceeds of the offering of US$500 million. The shares will start trading tomorrow.
We previously discussed the IPO in J&T Global Express IPO: The Bull Case, J&T Global Express IPO: The Bear Case and J&T Global Express IPO: Valuation Insights.
The market sentiment on the sector continues to weaken. The de-rating of peers lowers our SoTP valuation to HK$10.01 per share, 16.5% below the IPO price.

Keisei Electric: Activists Arrive As Expected

By Oshadhi Kumarasiri

Just as we suspected earlier in the year, there is now talk of an impending investor activism campaign targeting Keisei Electric Railway Co (9009 JP).
The activist is Palliser Capital, a multi-strategy fund based in London and run by former employees of Elliott Management, a company well-known for its activist campaigns in Japan.
Their proposal is simple and straightforward, requesting for a 35% reduction in Keisei Electric’s Oriental Land holding.

SIA Placement Lockup – Time for Another Trim of Its US$7bn Stake
J&T Global Express IPO Trading – Tepid Demand Despite the Team Effort
Triton/Caverion: Offer Declared Unconditional

SIA Placement Lockup – Time for Another Trim of Its US$7bn Stake

Temasek raised around US$300m via its secondary selldown in Singapore Airlines (SIA SP) in Jun 2023. The lockup from that placement will expire soon.
Temasek still owns over 50% of SIA and hence, any selldown might not come before SIA reports its 1H23/24 results in mid-Nov 2023.
In this note, we talk about the placement lockup dynamics.

J&T Global Express IPO Trading – Tepid Demand Despite the Team Effort

J&T Global Express (1519 HK), a global logistics service provider, raised around US$500m in its Hong Kong IPO.
As per Frost & Sullivan (F&S), the firm is the leading express delivery business in Southeast Asia, with a 22.5% market share as per 2022 parcel volume.
We have looked at the company’s past performance and valuations in our previous notes. In this note, we talk about the trading dynamics.

Triton/Caverion: Offer Declared Unconditional

By Jesus Rodriguez Aguilar

On 24 October, Crayfish received all regulatory approvals (earlier than expected) and secured the fulfillment of the minimum acceptance condition of 66.67%. Crayfish has thus declared the offer unconditional.
Triton’s purchase offer will continue until 1 November, after which the purchase offer will be implemented. Spread is 0.46%/5.29% (gross/annualised, assuming settlement on 27 November). Long and tender.
In case Crayfish obtains >90% of the shares, it intends to initiate compulsory redemption proceedings and delist Caverion.

There could be index changes even before the December rebalance if there are prolonged trading suspensions and stocks migrate from the KOSDAQ Market to the KOSPI Market.
The potential adds have sold off hard over the last six weeks, similar to the performance at the June rebalance.
