0343 GMT - Following SK Hynix's successful U.S. listing via American depositary receipts, it has become even more urgent that Samsung Electronics follows suit, says Douglas Kim of Douglas Research Advisory. Complex accounting issues may have been one of the reasons Samsung hasn't pursued it, he writes on Smartkarma. But SK Hynix's ability to complete its ADR offering without major accounting issues should reduce those concerns, he adds. "If Samsung relies solely on its domestic listing and cash reserves, it risks entering a capital-expenditure war with a disadvantage," Kim says. "Currently, SK Hynix's ADR shares are trading at a premium to the local shares, and as this premium continues, there will be a greater incentive on Samsung Electronics to list its shares in the U.S." (farah.elias@wsj.com)
