Ideas

SK Hynix US listing demand strong.
SK Hynix's U.S. ADR listing is expected to be well received because demand for chip-related names in the U.S. is extremely high and there is plenty of excess money. The chance of a negative surprise is very low; if the deal goes smoothly, it will boost SK Hynix shares globally.

KRW to rise on listing inflows.
The SK Hynix ADR proceeds will be repatriated back to Korea, creating significant inflows into the Korean won, which has been undervalued; this will likely push the won higher.

Microsoft AI strength underestimated by market.
Microsoft has underperformed the tech rally due to disruption fears, but BI believes it remains a leading LLM cloud provider. A new Office suite launch in the second half will drive revenue, setting the stock up for a positive surprise.

Malaysia data center boom benefits Telekom.
Telekom Malaysia is an interesting AI play as Singapore runs out of data center space and Malaysia becomes the next regional buildout hub, driving demand for telecom and digital infrastructure.

Cocoa costs squeeze Barry Callebaut margins.
Barry Callebaut faces weaker chocolate volumes as makers use less cocoa after the price spike, and El Niño risks higher cocoa costs, squeezing margins.

Doll demand fading, hit to Mattel.
Mattel's doll sales, particularly Barbie, are set to disappoint as consumer toy spending shifts from dolls to building sets and trading cards, and the boost from the Barbie movie fades.
