Market Focus07-28

On July 28, KIOXIA HLDGS CORP fell 13.82% in regular trading, trading at $26.2/share, with turnover of $60.13 million.

On the news front, former largest shareholder Bain Capital has sold the majority of its KIOXIA holdings, cashing out approximately 2.5 trillion yen, triggering concentrated selling pressure. Meanwhile, a special purpose company controlled by SK Hynix now holds a 14% stake as the second-largest shareholder, raising market concerns over a direct competitor gaining deep involvement in corporate governance.

Additionally, KIOXIA was previously found by a Texas federal court to have infringed on Viasat flash memory error-correction technology patents and was ordered to pay $229 million in damages. With earnings scheduled for July 31, market sentiment remains cautious.
