I’m struck by how attractive some Korean small-caps stocks are, including the Korean soy saucer producer Sempio Foods that I wrote about yesterday (P/E 8x). I have a pipeline of Korean ideas that I plan to dig deeper into in the coming months.

  • The Searching 4 Value blog on Japan Petroleum Exploration (TSE: 1662 — US$1.2 billion)


(Largest new programs as % of market cap; min market cap: US$50m)

  1. Career Design Center (19%) (TSE: 2410 — US$69 million)

  2. Kanematsu Engineering (14%) (TSE: 6402 — US$63 million)

  3. Softbank (13%) (TSE: 9984 — US$103 billion)

  4. Fujikura Composites (9%) (TSE: 5121 — US$180 million)

  5. T&D Holdings (9%) (TSE: 8795 — US$7.4 billion)


(Largest over past 7 days; min market cap: US$50m)

  1. Venture Corp: US$284 million (SGX: V03 — US$4.1 billion)

  2. Aqua Corporation: US$6.2 million (SET: AQUA — US$103 million)

  3. Sabuy Technology: US$5.0 million (SET: SABUY — US$444 million)

  4. Metropolitan Land: US$4.0 million (IDX: MTLA — US$235 million)

  5. Chin Hin Group: US$1.4 million (KLSE: CHIN — US$404 million)

Hi Michael,

Congratulations for the blog, always very insightful. You mention you are looking at some South Korean names, and I thought you could take a look at NICE Holdings: a very strong set of businesses (credit bureaus, fundamentally), conservative balance sheet, very cheap valuation and reasonable (but not super) capital allocation policies.

Best regards,
