Former Ador CEO says she was sacrificed for HYBE's IPO in $17.7M put option dispute
November 28, 2025, 2:22 AM EST. Min Hee-jin, ex-Ador CEO, told Seoul court she was sacrificed to boost Hybe's stock-market debut as the two sides clash over a put option valued at about 26 billion won ($17.7M). Hybe seeks to terminate her shareholder agreement; Min demands payment for exercising the option. Hybe counters that she was more than a creator-she ran a subsidiary-yet questions center on whether she breached noncompete clauses, her contact with external investors, and leakage of internal planning. Min argues Hybe recruited her to lift the IPO listing narrative and to secure listing value, while Hybe says the dispute is about duties and governance, not emotion. The outcome could set a precedent for Hybe's internal governance and IPO strategy, with a decision expected early next year.
Aequs IPO 2025: Key Dates, Valuation, and Investor Outlook
November 28, 2025, 2:20 AM EST. India's market is watching the AEQUS IPO as year-end listings gather pace. Aequs Limited, a vertically integrated precision manufacturer serving aerospace, consumer-durables, and electronics, seeks public funding to expand capacity and reduce debt. The IPO window opens on 3 December 2025 and closes on 5 December 2025, with a price band of ₹118-₹124 and a fresh issue of about ₹670 crore, plus an OFS of ~2.03 crore shares. Pre-IPO backing from institutional investors (e.g., SBI Funds Management, DSP India Fund) adds credibility, but profitability remains a concern, with FY25 showing losses. If the company can scale volumes, improve margins, and achieve steady profitability, Aequs could offer a long-term industrial value play rather than a high-risk tech-style listing.
Is Accor's Rising Share Price Backed by Expanding Global Partnerships?
November 28, 2025, 2:02 AM EST. Accor's stock has surged 5.3% last week, up 12.5% in 12 months and 105.8% over three years, drawing renewed investor attention. The driver: an expanding global footprint and strategic partnerships in emerging markets, which are shaping sentiment and the stock's recent momentum. On a valuation front, Accor carries a 3/6 score, hinting at pockets of undervaluation. A DCF model yields a fair value of €52.88 per share, with the current price trading about a 10.4% discount. The analysis assumes Free Cash Flow rising from €569 million now to roughly €814 million by end-2029. The PE discussion remains important for comparing with peers. Investors should weigh expansion upside against execution risk and macro dynamics.

Sealed Air Valuation Update: Is SEE Still Undervalued After a 30-Day Rally?
November 28, 2025, 1:00 AM EST. Sealed Air (SEE) has climbed to $43.01 as 30-day gains reach 27.66% and YTD gains are about 29.2%, with a 1-year TSR of 20.42%.

Likewise Group plc (LON:LIKE): Is a 3.3% ROE a Sign the Market Will Reassess Despite Strong Earnings Growth?
November 28, 2025, 12:58 AM EST. Likewise Group plc (LON:LIKE) has fallen 12% over the last month, but its longer-term fundamentals look more constructive. The ROE stands at 3.3% (TTM to June 2025), well behind the industry average of ~26%. In contrast, five-year net income growth is a robust ~70%, suggesting other drivers such as strategic decisions or a low payout ratio. The market will ask whether this growth is already priced in, with the P/E ratio as a key gauge. While earnings growth supports a brighter narrative, the weak ROE raises questions about capital efficiency and near-term upside. A deeper look at payout, balance sheet strength, and sustainable growth will determine if weakness is a buying opportunity or a warning sign.

Cipher Mining CIFR Valuation After 9% Surge: AWS Lease, Fair Value and Growth Outlook
November 28, 2025, 12:42 AM EST. Cipher Mining (CIFR) surged about 9% in a day, continuing a torrid 3-month run with returns up over 150% and a 1,916% three-year TSR. The latest move fuels talk that the stock might still offer upside beyond its 9% single-day gain. Proponents point to a fair value of $27.25 versus a last close of $19.15, suggesting a valuation gap from rising infrastructure deals and a large AWS lease: a $5.5 billion, 15-year deal that could anchor earnings visibility. However, traders should weigh the stock's 36.6x sales multiple against industry peers (vs. ~4.7x and 19.9x) and consider risks from power shortages and tech shifts.

As the article notes, traditional PE metrics and growth expectations will continue to shape sentiment as the strategy unfolds.

November 28, 2025, 12:38 AM EST. CryptoQuant data show 30-day BTC inflows of $7.5B into Binance, the highest in a year.
