JP substrate-maker equip supply ₩13.0bn (~24.7% sales / ~1.0% mcap); 30% advance — unnamed CP
What: third-party overseas equipment order of ₩13.0bn (~24.7% of sales / ~1.0% of ~₩1.30tn mcap) into an unnamed Japanese substrate maker, with a real 30% deposit and delivery through Dec 2027. Why up: clean non-affiliate supply win with near-term advance cash on a semiconductor-equipment name; repeat customer (same-type deals in last 3 years) supports franchise continuity. Why only 1-3% (not 3-8%): sales % is the KRX disclosure bar, not the price band — face is ~1% of mcap (Vinatech / Woori Ro / <2%-mcap class, often drop); unnamed CP + multi-year drip through 2027 cut near-term fuel further. Why p≈8%: enrich ~7 min after the DART stamp and live is already +9.05% (high +10.1%), so the 1-3% band is already overshot — leftover is fade/hold into the close, not unused mid-session alpha.

up 3-8%Doosan Fuel Cell 336260 · KOSPI · 15 Sep 10:43 KST · p≈12%
US affiliate HyAxiom fuel-cell supply ₩322.2bn (~71% sales / ~9.3% mcap); 20% advance — affiliate haircut
What: parent books a ₩322.2bn (~70.8% of sales / ~9.3% mcap) fuel-cell system supply order into US affiliate HyAxiom for datacenter and C&I end-use, with a real 20% advance. Why up: large disclosed backlog plus near-term advance cash is constructive for the fuel-cell order book on a name that can trade on US power / datacenter narrative. Why only 3-8% (not 8%+): affiliate/계열사 supply cuts the band (Doosan Fuel Cell / HyAxiom class in desk rules) — this can be a pipeline restatement through the US sub rather than a clean third-party win, and delivery runs into Oct 2028 so face ≫ near-term cash after the advance. Sales % is the KRX bar, not the price band. Why p≈12%: enrich ~9 min after the DART stamp and live is already +10.5% (high +14% vs prior close ₩47,800), so the 3-8% band is already in the tape — leftover is fade/hold into the close, not unused mid-session alpha.

Twin US HV transformer supply deals via HICO America — combined ₩386.6bn (~6.5% sales / ~1.5% mcap); affiliate, no advance
What: parent books two HV transformer supply contracts into its US sales affiliate that already won the end projects — standard Hyosung US recognition path, not a third-party customer stamp. Why mixed: incremental US power-grid backlog is constructive for the HV franchise narrative, but the counterparty is 계열회사 (affiliate), there is zero advance, and cash dribbles through 2028–2029 on progress-bill. Why 1-3%: sales % (6.5%) clears the KRX disclosure bar but is not a price band — face is only ~1.5% of a ~₩25.7tn liquid KOSPI name (Vinatech/HMM/Samsung Heavy class); affiliate supply cuts the band further (Doosan Fuel Cell / HyAxiom). Why p≈18%: stamp landed at the cash open and live is already −2.35% at enrich, so leftover for an unused up-band is thin — mid-session liquid names usually decide in under a few minutes; treat any bounce as a small headline blip, not unused 3-8%.

Buys 35% of Dacom System for ₩4.44bn (~31% mcap); third-party placement ₩4.04bn closes; control to E8 Value-up No.1 fund
What: same-morning crystallizing of a known Aug placement into control change plus a new 35% bolt-on of a loss-making hardware co sized at ~31% of mcap. Why mixed: strategic cash and a new largest shareholder with lockup vs 30% share-count dilution and a loss-making target — Artist Studio / thin-KOSDAQ placement class, not a clean earnings print. Why 8%+: both the deal face and the float dilution clear mid-single digits on a ~₩142bn management name; these names often auction past 3-8% then fade (Sammok/Dual/Artist). Placement size was public since 7 Aug, so completion alone is not the surprise — control + M&A is. Why p≈10% (recut): into the cash open live already ~₩790 (+10.49%), so the 8%+ band is largely printed — leftover is fade/hold, not unused auction alpha.

KRX extends listing-disclosure committee deadline on delisting appeal — still under review, no decision
What: process extension only — committee vote on whether to delist is delayed for more diligence on the rehab plan, not a rescue or a delisting confirmation. Why mixed: more time can briefly lift 'not dead yet' hopes on a management/halted name, but the July finding that delisting criteria were met still stands and overhang remains. Why 3-8%: when/if single-price or trading resumes around the eventual committee outcome, these names usually gap mid-to-high single digits either way; extension itself is not an 8%+ cash event. Why p≈20%: name is halted today (tradableStatus halt), so next regular cash session may not print at all until KRX lifts the halt — leftover is contingent on a session existing.

up 1-3%Hanshin Engineering & Construction 004960 · KOSPI · 14 Sep 15:45 KST · p≈35%
Selected as contractor for Hwagok 6-dong Moatown A1 street-housing project — ~₩228.3bn (~19.9% sales / ~167% mcap); contract not signed yet
What: contractor selection (시공자 선정), not a signed EPC yet — face ₩228.3bn is ~19.9% of sales and ~167% of ~₩136bn mcap, but cash will drip over a multi-year housing rebuild with no advance disclosed. Why up: being named builder is incremental backlog for a cheap construction name (PBR ~0.16). Why only 1-3%: unsigned + progress-bill construction class (Samsung E&A / Seohan-style) — face/mcap looks 8%+ but near-term cash does not; expect a headline blip not a melt-up. Why p≈35%: after-close stamp into Tue open is a real leftover window on a thin tape (~14k shares today), but selection news often leaks and the band is small.

On 14 Sep Z.ai announced completion of ~US$5bn combined raise (~US$2bn share placement + ~US$3bn convertible bonds) for next-gen GLM models, self-training, compute and infrastructure; SEDAILY notes MiniMax raised ~$2bn in July and Alibaba/Tencent/ByteDance also tapping capital for AI.

Macro/HK risk event on calendar; low bar for positives, but any flare-up could add volatility to HSI/tech and KR risk assets already soft on AI/oil.

AJ: today’s AI selloff ‘most stupid since DeepSeek’ — usage rises even if development halted
AJ: even if AI development were halted, performance stays at today’s level and usage still rises — operators throw more agents at problems as cheaper tokens unlock. Calls today’s selloff the stupidest in a long time, probably since DeepSeek.

AJ: slowing AI progress increases compute required (less-efficient models burn more tokens)
AJ: advanced systems use compute more efficiently. Slowing the pace leaves the industry stuck longer on less-efficient models that consume more compute for the same task — ICE-engine analogy (stop improving the engine, still drive, burn more fuel per mile).
