-- ソウル地方警察庁が、エンターテインメント大手ハイブ（KRX:352820）の創業者であるパン・シヒョク氏を、2020年の新規株式公開（IPO）前に初期投資家を欺いた容疑で逮捕状請求したことを受け、ハイブの株価は火曜午前の取引で約3％下落し、24万8000ウォンとなった。 ブルームバーグ通信は火曜、パン氏がプライベートエクイティファンドに関連する利益分配契約を隠蔽した疑いも持たれていると報じた。 当局は、パン氏が約1900億ウォンの不正利益を得たとみている。報道によると、パン氏は一切の不正行為を否定している。 金融委員会が昨年開始したこの捜査は、ガバナンスに関する懸念を引き起こしているという。 （マーケットチャッターのニュースは、世界中の市場関係者との会話に基づいています。この情報は信頼できる情報源に基づいていると考えられますが、噂や憶測が含まれる可能性があります。正確性は保証されません。）

Research Alert: CFRA Keeps Buy Opinion On Share Of Rexford Industrial Realty Inc.
CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We trim our 12-month target price by $4 to $41, applying a forward P/FFO multiple of 17.1x on our 2026 FFO estimate, a discount to its 19.2x three-year forward average. We leave our 2026 FFO/share estimate unchanged at $2.40 but lower 2027's by $0.07 to $2.47. Negative re-leasing spreads remain our base case for 2026, but we believe infill properties in Southern California have structural barriers preventing new supply from coming online. Leasing rose 70% Y/Y in Q1 and we expect re-leasing spreads at 6%-9% in 2027, supported by a lack of new supply and higher occupancy rates. REXR's current capital recycling strategy, aimed at selling sub-4% cap rate properties and either repurchasing shares or redeveloping properties, should lift total portfolio returns higher next year. We note demand in Southern California remains strongest for spaces under 50K sq ft, which are REXR's core focus, and believe increased advanced manufacturer demand in the San Fernando Valley and South Bay markets could accelerate this year.
