Krafton is already 2.2 million won… Listed on SK Basa’s Dasang Awards

[이데일리 권소현 기자] As SK Bioscience succeeded in’Daesang’ on the first day of listing (the upper limit price after the initial price was formed by double the public offering price), preliminary listing fishers are excited outside the market. The super word Krafton, which is expected to be listed within this year, has jumped in quotes and interest in Kakao Bank is high.

According to 38 Communications, an over-the-counter stock trading site on the 18th, game company Krafton rose 7.32% (150,000 won) from the previous day to 2.2 million won. Krafton, famous for its’Battle Ground’, slipped from 1.86 million won at the beginning of the week to 1.8 million won on the weekends, showing a downtrend last week, when the enthusiasm for the SK Bioscience competition was hot.

However, this week, ahead of the listing of SK Bioscience, the expectation for ‘dasang’ has increased, and it has been on the rise for four consecutive days. On the 17th, the base price exceeded 2 million won, breaking a record high.

The news that Krafton is in the process of splitting face value is also a factor for the upside. Krafton announced on the 16th that it would propose a stock split agenda to adjust the par value of stocks from 500 won to 100 won at the shareholders’ meeting on the 31st through a convocation announcement on its website. If the stock split proposal is passed, it will take effect from May 4th. Meanwhile, the outlook was high that Krafton would start a stock split as the price of Krafton surged and the transaction price increased.

Krafton selected 5 companies including Mirae Asset Daewoo, Credit Swiss Securities, Citi Global Market Securities, JP Morgan, and NH Investment & Securities as the IPO supervisor last year, and began pursuing IPOs in earnest. In addition, it is evaluated that the IPO is proceeding smoothly while lowering the face value through the change of the shareholders’ articles of incorporation.

Based on the standard stock price of 2.2 million won, the market capitalization reached 18,825.9 billion won. It exceeds Shinhan Holdings (18.55 trillion won), the 21st place in the KOSPI market by market capitalization.

Kakao Bank also has a desired purchase price of 76,000 won. The suggested selling price is around 77,000 won. Compared to the recent price, there is no big change, but there are close to 30 posts on the bulletin board of 38 Communication Selling and Buying.

With the introduction of the’equal allocation’ system in which half of the public offering stocks allocated to general investors are given one week for a minimum amount of subscription, interest in public offering stock investment has grown even more. In the period of 100% proportional allocation, even if several billions of billions of margin were put in the fiercely competitive public offering, investors could not hold their hands for a few weeks.

Accordingly, about 63,619.7 billion won of SK Bioscience’s public offering was concentrated to set the record for the largest margin.
