  • On 26 December, Samchully (004690 KS) announced that it plans to acquire a 100% stake in Sung Gyung Food for 119.5 billion won in cash.

  • We like this deal for Samchully mainly because it represents purchase of one of the top brands in the seaweed (gim, laver) industry in Korea with excellent export potential.

  • In this case of Samchully purchasing Sung Gyung Food, we are Positive on this deal and we expect this deal to have a long-term positive impact on Samchully’s share price.
