Repurchases at a large discount are mechanically accretive if they are real, repeated, and not offset by leakage elsewhere.

SK NAV discount
SK hynix is the operating asset, SK Square is its direct listed wrapper, and SK Inc adds another holding-company layer. Cached market prices and explicit assumptions turn that ownership chain into comparable NAV discounts.
Ratio-adjusted prices, FX parity, post-listing gaps, and conversion constraints.

Buyback Accretion
below-NAV repurchasesDiscount-Close Checklist
what must happenCancellation matters more than announced buybacks when investors distrust group-level capital allocation.
The Hynix stake screens liquid, but strategic-control constraints can make market value less realizable.
Targets need dates, payout formulas, and progress against NAV/share rather than broad discount language.
SK hynix is the clean asset.
The operating company has no holding-company discount, but it carries direct memory cycle, capex, and valuation risk.
SK Square is mostly a Hynix NAV trade.
With SK hynix driving nearly all calculated NAV, Square's upside depends on Hynix performance plus discount narrowing.
SK Inc is broader but less direct.
SK Inc adds portfolio diversification, debt, governance, and another discount layer. It can screen cheaper on look-through NAV, but the unlock path is less clean.
