BenQ BM launched its Hongkong IPO aiming to raise up to HK$783M. The company plans to sell 67M shares at a price band of HK$ 9.34-HK$ 11.68 per share.
Proceeds to be used for expansion and upgradation of existing hospitals, for mergers and acquisitions opportunities and for general corporate purposes and working capital needs.
Amid sluggish sales and margin pressure, we think that the BenQ BM issue is overvalued and investors can comfortably avoid subscribing to the offer.

<ul>
<li>Hospital operation is an asset-heavy industry with large balance of fixed assets and intangible assets. So, there is a situation of expense “front-loading” and profit “back-loading” in Puxiang.</li>
<li>Puxiang’s single-digit net profit margin is unsatisfactory. Net profit CAGR is much lower than revenue CAGR. Considering VBP and DRGs/DIP, Puxiang’s future net profit performance is unsettling.</li>
<li>Due to concerns on profitability and future growth outlook, we think valuation of Puxiang should be lower than Topchoice, Aier, Hygeia, <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/jinxin-fertility-group-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:28003:1" rel="noopener">Jinxin</a>, but could be higher than <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/china-resources-medical-holdings" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:357:1" rel="noopener">China Resources Medical</a>

Hospital operation is an asset-heavy industry with large balance of fixed assets and intangible assets. So, there is a situation of expense “front-loading” and profit “back-loading” in Puxiang.
Puxiang’s single-digit net profit margin is unsatisfactory. Net profit CAGR is much lower than revenue CAGR. Considering VBP and DRGs/DIP, Puxiang’s future net profit performance is unsettling.
Due to concerns on profitability and future growth outlook, we think valuation of Puxiang should be lower than Topchoice, Aier, Hygeia, Jinxin, but could be higher than China Resources Medical

<ul>
<li>Tong Ren Tang’s performance growth is mainly driven by M&amp;As, or “purchase revenue externally” to expand scale. As the pace of acquisition/integration slows down, overall growth will also decline accordingly.</li>
<li>Although Tong Ren Tang has turned losses into profits, the Company is still in expansion period and profits are unstable.So, we think it’s more appropriate to use P/S for valuation.</li>
<li>Tong Ren Tang is inferior to Gushengtang in terms of profitability and capital operation model for expansion. So, Tong Ren Tang’s valuation should be lower than Gushengtang and industry average.</li>
