Woon-mok Baek Likely to overcome all negatives +822-768-4158 [email protected] Raise TP to W320,000; Maintain Buy call This year, Nongshim has been plagued with three negatives: price-fixing fines, legal disputes over the distribution rights of Samdasoo (bottled water), and food safety issues. As a result, the company’s shares have fared poorly relative to its peers, despite the potential for a 3Q earnings improvement, and an expansion in ramen market share. We expect the company’s shares to find momentum in 2013 from a normalization of its ramen market share, potential price hikes, expectations for new Buy (Maintain) products in Korea and China, and new business expansion. We maintain our Buy call Target Price (12M, W) 320,000 and raise our target price to W320,000 (from W290,000). We derived our target Share Price (11/12/12, W) 255,000 price by applying a target P/E of 15x (up from 13.5x; on reflection of the recent rise Expected Return (%) 25.5 in the food and beverage industry’s average P/E) to the average of 2013 and 2014 EPS Growth (12F, %) TTR Market EPS Growth (12F, %) 9.0 EPS estimates. P/E (12F, x) - Market P/E (12F, x) 10.2 3Q review: Exceeded the consensus KOSPI 1,900.87 Nongshim’s 3Q operating results exceeded the market consensus, with revenues of Market Cap (Wbn) 1,551 W500.7bn (up 3.9% YoY), an operating profit of W34.7bn (up 25.4% YoY), and a net Shares Outstanding (mn) 6 profit of W31.2bn (up 60.1% YoY). Ramen revenues expanded 10.3% YoY. And Avg Trading Volume (60D, '000) 38 Avg Trading Value (60D, Wbn) 10 revenues related to cup-ramen products jumped 16.2% YoY, boosted by an increase Dividend Yield (12F, %) 1.6 in single-person households. The company’s ramen market share continued to pick Free Float (%) 49.6 up QoQ, reaching 67.4% in 3Q (from 63.7%). The company’s ramen market share 52-Week Low (W) 203,000 had plunged from 68.1% in 3Q11 to 62.7% in 4Q11 and 62.2% in 1Q12. Beverage 52-Week High (W) 296,000 revenues deteriorated 9.6% YoY due to a supply disruption of Samdasoo. Overseas Beta (12M, Daily Rate of Return) 0.27 revenues grew 18.6% YoY thanks to robust revenues in China (up 24.8% YoY) and Price Return Volatility (12M Daily, %, SD) 2.6 the US (up 20.9% YoY). Foreign Ownership (%) 27.1 Major Shareholder(s) Growth in operating profit and net profit was largely attributable to a reduction in Nongshim Holdings et al. (45.49%) fixed costs (resulting from ramen sales volume growth) and an increase in F/X- NPS (6.12%) related gains caused by won appreciation. Price Performance Noteworthy items for 2013: Ramen market share; Introduction of Baeksansoo (%) 1M 6M 12M Absolute -10.5 4.9 16.7 We anticipate Nongshim’s market share to expand to 70% in 2013, driven by the Relative -8.9 5.8 14.7 revival of red-soup ramen products, a re-launch of Shin Ramyun Black, launches of Key Business premium products priced at above W1,000 (e.g., Jinjja Jinjja, Gochu Bibimmyun, Nongshim is the top ramen and confectionery company in Korea. Shin Ramyun Black), and the renewals of some products. Although some sales of the company’s products could contract due to food safety issues, we believe sales should recover in three~six months. In addition, given that Samyang Foods and Paldo raised their ramen prices in August, we believe that Nongshim could also raise its ramen prices next year.

Company November 13, 2012 Given that the company’s contract regarding its Samdasoo distribution rights expires in mid-December, Nongshim plans to introduce its Chinese bottled water brand Baeksansoo in Korea around December. Nongshim’s Chinese subsidiary built a factory for Baeksansoo in the Jilin Province in 2010, the capacity of which is equivalent to 50% of the Samdasoo capacity. We project the discontinuation of Nongshim’s Samdasoo business will lead to a W190bn decline in revenues (9% of overall revenues) and a W12bn drop in operating profit (11% of overall operating profit) in 2013 for Nongshim. However, it should be noted that Nongshim has distribution networks for its bottled water business. We advise investors to keep tabs on whether the Baeksansoo brand can smoothly penetrate the domestic market. Table 1.

    June 30, 2021 This report contains the following two documents: • Chairman’s Letter to Stockholders • Annual Report to Stockholders—June 30, 2021 The Korea Fund, Inc. Chairman’s Letter to Stockholders Dear Fellow Stockholders We have much pleasure in providing the Annual Report of The Korea Fund Inc. (the “Fund”) covering its full fiscal year, that is from July 1st 2020 to June 30th 2021, otherwise referred to herein as the “Period”. The Stock Market and Fund Performance This Period has provided investors in the South Korean equity markets exceptional opportunities. As mentioned in my February Letter with the Half Year Report the Korean stock market came to life following the sharp global market falls on the back of the COVID-19 global pandemic in 1Q20. Asian markets, particularly those of China and South Korea on the back of each’s rapid response to the pandemic, showed greater resilience with lesser economic slowdowns to their Western counterparts and rapidly assumed the leadership in the subsequent economic and market recoveries. In Korea this was provided as much through the country’s development of ‘new economies’, as well as a large government stimulus package. Further I referred at that time to the then-recent development of a Covid vaccine which has clearly done much to slow the problem, particularly in the more advanced economies. Translating this into stock market returns through the full fiscal Period, your Fund has provided stockholders an increase in Net Asset Value (“NAV”) of 76.9% – broken between its first and second half-year periods by 53.2% and 15.5% respectively.

  • Abstract: the Purpose of This Paper Is to Investigate
    THE ECONOMIC COST OF NUCLEAR THREATS: A NORTH KOREA CASE STUDY. Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to investigate how public announcements of a nation’s nuclear programme development influence neighbouring countries’ stock markets. The countries examined in this case study are North and South Korea. To test this relationship I conducted an event study using MacKinlay’s market model. Six announcement days were studied comprising out of three nuclear tests and three missile and satellite related tests. The findings of this research are in contrast to prior research. Empirical researches on the economic effects of terrorism suggest that acts of terrorism create large impacts on economic activity. The results of our event study show that the announcements caused both negative and positive reactions on the market. Author: Ryan McKee Student number: 6181066 Supervisor: Shivesh Changoer Date: 8th of Jan, 2014 ETCS: 12 INTRODUCTION Stock prices represent investor’s expectations about the future. News announcements effect these expectations on a day to day basis. Terrorist attacks, military invasions, nuclear threats or any other ambivalent events can alter investor’s expectations and so allow the prices of stocks and bonds to deviate from their fundamental value. Once such events have taken place investors often defer from the market in search of safer, more secure financial investments which can lead to panic and chaos on the markets (Chen and Siems, 2004). Such chaos can also be caused by threats from other neighbouring countries. A perfect example of this is the relationship between North and South Korea. Ever since the division of North and South Korea on September 8, 1945 the two bordering nations have had a strenuous relationship, ultimately leading to the Korean war of 1950-1953.

    September 26, 2019 Korea Daily Focus Company News & Analysis Samsung Heavy Industries (010140/Buy/TP: W10,500) Focus on renewed order momentum rather than order cancellation CJ CheilJedang (097950/Buy/TP: W340,000) Processed food recovery is a key variable Yuhan (000100/Buy/TP: W310,000) Licensing deals to drive re-rating Samsung Heavy Industries (010140 KS ) Focus on renewed order momentum rather than order cancellation Shipbuilding Cancellation of drillship orders removes risks Company Report Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI) disclosed on September 24 th that Transocean (RIG September 26, 2019 US/CP: US$5.11) has cancelled its orders for two unfinished drillships . (The orders were originally made by Ocean Rig, which was acquired by Transocean.) Given that SHI has already received US$520mn, or 37% of the contract price (US$1.43bn), the order cancellation should not entail a heavy provisioning burden. The fair value of a vessel in the event of an order cancellation is usually set at 60% of the newbuilding price. Even if (Maintain) Buy the fair value is adjusted down further to reflect the shipbuilding industry’s current weakness, we estimate related loss provisions will be equivalent to just 2-3% of Target Price (12M, W) 10,500 shareholders’ equity. The negative impact on enterprise value should therefore be limited. Share Price (09/25/19, W) 7,960 Look beyond past risks to new opportunities Expected Return 32% SHI recently won a huge contract for more than 10 small/medium-sized LNG-fueled oil tankers. In our view, this large-scale contract is meaningful in at least three ways.
