Fri 23 Oct 09:18 KST live: Bukwang Pharm (003000) Q3 consol prelim — sales ₩58.0bn (+21% YoY/+1.7% QoQ), OP ₩2.16bn (+121% YoY/+53% QoQ), NI ₩0.85bn (−43% YoY/−39% QoQ); 9M OP still −22% YoY and NI −56% YoY. MIXED: Q3 operating recovery is real on +21% sales, but bottom line collapses QoQ/YoY and the 9M book is still deep red vs last year (LG Display / LS Eco OP-vs-NI split — not Flitto clean beat). 1-3%: mid-cap ~₩374bn; OP % swing is large but absolute OP ₩2.2bn is small vs mcap, and NI conflict refuses 3-8%. p≈28%: stamp into live cash; Naver already ~−1.4% (H ₩3,915) so first clip partially spent — leftover is residual grind (leftover-p-is-tape), not unused auction.

Why: Q3 OP doubles YoY on solid sales (constructive) vs NI −43% YoY and still-weak 9M OP/NI (bearish) → MIXED, not clean UP. Mid-cap ~₩374bn; absolute OP ₩2.2bn is small vs mcap despite large % swings; conflicting NI caps band at 1-3%. Live minutes after stamp already −1.4% with session high spent → leftover p≈28% residual, not full unused window.

Fri 23 Oct 08:46 KST pre-open: Noul (376930) third-party raise — 1.1m new shares (~10.7% of OS) at ₩2,500 par (~+95% vs last ₩1,285) to Jigu Holdings for ₩2.75bn operating cash; pay-in 9 Nov, 1yr lockup; max holder flips to Jigu after pay-in. MIXED: premium strategic cash bid + ops runway (constructive) vs ~11% dilution and control flip on thin KOSDAQ (Artist Studio / Satoshi class — not clean UP). 8%+: thin-name control-path 3P gap risk either way (proceeds ~21% of ~₩13bn mcap; refuse treating premium as one-way UP). p≈40%: stamp into 09:00 cash open (~10–15 min leftover clock); Yahoo last already soft vs prior ₩1,420 so don’t sell a full unused 60-min tender window.

Why: Premium 3P cash + control flip on thin KOSDAQ → two-way MIXED (not clean UP/DOWN). Artist Studio / named strategic 3P + explicit max-holder flip → MIXED 8%+ vol band; ~11% OS is material but refuse 28%+ opaque-shell class sizing. Pre-open into 09:00 auction leftover with short clock + already-soft tape vs prior → p≈40%.

Welliant/Marubeni cash tender ₩12,000 · min 20%/max 28% OS · Oct 23–Nov 11 · not delisting · ~+42% vs last

Fri 23 Oct 07:51 KST pre-open: Welliant (Marubeni) cash tender for iFamilySC (114840, KOSDAQ) at ₩12,000 (~+42% vs last ₩8,420 / ~+53% vs prior ₩7,850), min 20%/max 28% of 16.68m OS, window through 11 Nov; founders excluded via side letter so Marubeni concert already 42.39% and post-deal 62–70% — strategic alliance, not delisting. UP: large cash bid above spot is a classic tender magnet into the auction. 8%+: i-Scream/S1-class pre-open premium tender (~40%+ gap to deal price, mid-cap KOSDAQ) — refuse treating as full path-to-₩12k same day because max is only 28% and listing stays. p≈55%: ~70 min unused into 09:00 cash open; tape still near prior close so leftover is the auction product.

Why direction: Cash tender stamped ~+42% above last → price magnet → UP. · Why magnitude: Pre-open third-party premium tender on mid-cap KOSDAQ (i-Scream/S1 class) → 8%+; partial max 28% + not-delisting caps a full gap to ₩12k. · Why probability: Pre-open stamp with ~70 min to 09:00 and live still near prior → p≈55% unused auction leftover.

Clarification: Solidigm Pre-IPO/IPO review stopped · confirms Aug 5 ₩5tn rumor process ended

Fri 23 Oct 07:33 KST pre-open: SK hynix (000660) confirms it has stopped reviewing a Solidigm Pre-IPO/IPO previously rumored at ~₩5tn on Aug 5 — official end of that fundraising path. MIXED: kills Solidigm-level dilution/overhang (mild ownership positive) but also removes a path to external US NAND growth capital (mild negative). 1-3%: liquid mega-cap confirmation of a months-old rumor process — refuse 3-8%/8%+. p≈30%: pre-open unused into 09:00, but mega liquidity + already-chewed rumor → muted auction leftover, not a shock.

Why direction: Stops Solidigm Pre-IPO (less sub dilution vs less external capex cash) → MIXED. · Why magnitude: Liquid mega + confirmation of Aug rumor → 1-3%; refuse higher bands. · Why probability: Pre-open clock exists but mega liquidity + chewed narrative → p≈30% muted auction leftover.
