Long-Short Analysis on Japan, Asia and the World

LightStream Research

LightStream conducts quantitatively rigorous and data-driven analysis with a focus on Japan and Asia.

We consistently cover the Tech, Consumer and Industrial sectors, and provide ECM and Events coverage more broadly.

We supplement traditional qualitative insights from company relationships with a robust quantitative foundation that examines as much historical data as is available.
We further refine the accuracy of our insights and calls through the use of alternative data to flesh out current trends, and through a valuation framework that emphasises non-superficial peer group selection and a proper attempt to understand the metrics and changes that have driven security valuations in the past.

Aux Electric (2580 HK) has announced terms for its HKEx IPO and plans to issue 207m shares at HK$16.00-17.42 per share and will raise around US$460m.
The company’s low-price strategy has helped expand its top line and market share in a short span of time; however, margins lag behind large air conditioner peers.
We think AUX should be compared against Hisense due to their higher dependence on ODM sales and believe AUX’s IPO is valued attractively compared to Hisense.
