Equity Bottom-Up

<ul>
<li>Valuation based on Cancellation Price hasn’t fully reflected the potential of Weijing Medical Robot business, nor does it reflect the future growth driven by import substitution due to centralized procurement.</li>
<li>The medical device sector is expected to have a strong trend of performance reversal/valuation repair. Kangji's fundamentals/prospects are moving in a positive direction. Reasonable valuation is HK$12-15 billion at least.</li>
<li>The current Cancellation Price of HK$9.25 is too low to normally reflect the Company's true fundamentals and prospects. Therefore, we're worried that there would be some investors opposing this privatization.</li>

Valuation based on Cancellation Price hasn’t fully reflected the potential of Weijing Medical Robot business, nor does it reflect the future growth driven by import substitution due to centralized procurement.
The medical device sector is expected to have a strong trend of performance reversal/valuation repair. Kangji's fundamentals/prospects are moving in a positive direction. Reasonable valuation is HK$12-15 billion at least.
The current Cancellation Price of HK$9.25 is too low to normally reflect the Company's true fundamentals and prospects. Therefore, we're worried that there would be some investors opposing this privatization.

<li>The 9.9% premium to last close was less than ideal. A change of control premium (30%+) is arguably more commonplace in Asia-Pac. However, the Offer Price is a four-year high.</li>

On the 12th August, Kangji Medical (9997 HK) announced an Offer, by way of a Scheme, from a consortium led by TPG and Qatar Investment Authority, together with the founders.
The 9.9% premium to last close was less than ideal. A change of control premium (30%+) is arguably more commonplace in Asia-Pac. However, the Offer Price is a four-year high.
I had a number of questions concerning the transaction, and managed to secure a one-on-one with the FA to the Offeror earlier today.
