Chaoju Eye Care Holdings Limited is a leading ophthalmic medical service provider based in Northern China. The company is looking to raise up to USD 200m to list in Hong Kong.Chaoju is an eye specialist hospital with a geographical focus in the Northern region in China. The company started in 1988 as an ophthalmic clinic and currently operates 17 hospitals with a total GFA of 87,146 sqm as of January 2021. The company recorded revenue growth of 13% p.a. between FY18 and FY19. Having said that, around 60% of the total revenue came from three hospitals, namely Baotou Hospital, Hohhot Hospital, and Chifeng Hospital. The company plans to open 11 new hospitals in Inner Mongolia, Zhejiang, and Jiangsu in the next three years, representing a 9% GFA CAGR. Another notable driver for the company is a higher mix of consumer ophthalmic services, which register a higher gross margin than other segments.Overall, we are of the view that the company doesn't have strong backing from investors. Its growth prospect in terms of hospital expansion is only moderate despite a strong momentum in the ophthalmic sector in China. We are not too keen on the company.

Following in the footsteps of his father, Zhang Chaoju, as a pioneer of modern ophthalmology in Inner Mongolia and an entrepreneur in the field of ophthalmology services in China, founded a clinic that provided ophthalmology services in Baotou City, Inner Mongolia in 1988. Since then, Chaoju Eye Care has established an extensive network of ophthalmic hospitals and optical centers in North China. Regardless of the long history and professional background, how about this Company? The following mainly analyzed both the strengths and concerns for Chaoju.
