Aequitas Research puts out a weekly update on the deals that have been covered by the team recently along with updates for upcoming IPOs.




It has been another busy week in the ECM space. There were a few big launches in Hong Kong. Evergrande Property Services (6666 HK) and China Resources Mixc Lifestyle Services (1209 HK) are the two latest property services companies to come to market with deal sizes of US$2bn and US$1.5bn. Both IPOs had substantial support from cornerstone investors. Evergrande Svcs's support came from a long list of China investors whereas CR Mixc pulled in reputable institutional heavy weights such as GIC, Hillhouse, Matthews Funds, CDH and etc.

Then there was JD Health (6618 HK) US$3.5bn bookbuild launch which also drew interests from a few familiar names, GIC, Tiger Global, BlackRock, Hillhouse and etc. We discussed valuation, updates post Ali Health's results, and index implications in our notes:

In Australia, Nuix (NXL AU) will debut this coming Friday while Dalrymple Bay Infrastructure (DBI AT) is expected trade on the Tuesday the week after. We covered them in the two notes:


Nuix Limited IPO -  A Stable and Predictable Niche 

Dalrymple Bay Infrastructure - Highly Curious Timing 

In India, sentiment is gearing to be ready for more IPOs, especially after the strong performance of Gland Pharma (7172753Z IN) last Friday. Burger King India (BKI IN) revealed its bookbuild details and anchor book will open on the 2nd of December. Aside form that, Sumeet Singh also covered Brookfield India REIT's fundamental, positives, and negatives in two notes.

In the U.S, aside from the incredible rally of recently listed China EVs, there hasn't been much activity. 17 Education and Technology (YQ US) is the latest online tuition provider that is looking to raise up to US$300m. But a major decision will be made next week to decide whether Chinese firms need to comply with audit-oversight rules.

Dalrymple Bay Infrastructure / Equity Capital Markets

Dalrymple Bay Infrastructure (DBI from hereon) aims to raise around US$500m in its Australian listing. It is owned by <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/brookfield-asset-manage-cl-a-0483cfb5-71a5-4931-af80-901e5f30aace" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:23741:1" rel="noopener">Brookfield Asset Management (BAM US)</a>. It holds a 99-lease for Dalrymple Bay Terminal (DBT), a coal export terminal. DBT was commissioned in 1983 and is located close to Bowen Basin, the world’s largest met coal export region, in Queensland.  The terminal is a common-user facility providing services to a large number of mining customers. Approximately 80% of the coal shipped through DBT in 2019 was metallurgical (met) coal. It is the largest met coal terminal, handling 15% of global met coal in 2019 and 30% of Queensland coal exports. While the current revenue for DBI is regulated and hence, fairly stable, it has been trying to change that so that it can set its own tariffs directly with clients. However, even if it manages to do that the upside might be limited.As per my calculations, if it doesn’t manage to succeed in doing so, its revenue could drop by an amount far exceeding the projected upside. This doesn’t make DBI appear particularly attractive.
