“Double Dip” - a scenario to consider seriously. Events of this week have unfolded to everyone’s surprise... very negatively.
1/ India new epicenter - cases gone wild (25x higher versus Feb levels). Mutations present accelerated / aggressive disease presentation. India not on travel red lists of most major countries (yet/despite) ImageImage
2/ Malaysia reports 40 cases in healthcare workers who already had double dose of vaccine channelnewsasia.com/news/asia/covi…
3/ Singapore, with its super struck border control also reporting community cases. channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore…
Global case count (7-day moving average) to make new peak this week.
International travel / mobility resumption could face tremendous headwind.

GRAB / ALTIMETER $AGC
The positives are well known and enormous respect to Anthony and Hooi Ling for creating an ASEAN behemoth. Nevertheless, here's some of the less obvious, but key points to note on this $40b deal. (1/n)
1. Control: Anthony Tan will continue to control the company with 60.4% of the voting rights, despite owning just 1.1@ of ordinary shares. sec.report/Document/00011… pg 48
Disclosure (thus far): The company hasn't released all the financial details, instead it has put up a dressy deck with 2021-23 projections. So not that much to chew on. Still...

💡 IDEAL $KBANK.TB - consensus Thai O/W, seen as a digital aspirant. However, Brian spots two flies in the ointment. Stock has doubled from 2020 lows, so this is worth noting.
(1/n)
1. foreign line highly likely deletion from MSCI at upcoming MAY SAR - Deletion of the foreign line would require passive funds to sell 87m shares...
2. There is also a possibility of a reduction in the Foreign Inclusion Factor (FIF) on the Non Voting Depository Receipt (NVDR) line if the foreign room stays below 15% on the price cutoff date. This would necessitate selling of around 22m shares.

BABA: opens +9% and continuing to trade VERY strong in HK today. Market realising pendulum swung too far, and starting to fade the risk premia here. (Chart: BABA vs TENCENT intraday)
Putting things into perspective: since November, Media frenzy and Investor panic wiped $260bn in value.
Meanwhile, 4Q was historic high Q-rev growth +37% Y/Y, historic high core commerce EBITDA, and historic high quarterly op profit. Clodu turned profitable, and Cainiao positive OCF also.
