Keep Inc (3650 HK) , the largest online fitness platform in China, announced interim results for the six months ended Jun-23. The overall revenue growth is slowing down. 
The company completed its Hong Kong IPO of ~10.8M shares at HK$28.92 (bottom of the range) and raised ~HK$192M (~$25M) of net proceeds. CICC led the offering.
Keep appears well capitalized to outperform despite China's temporary slowdown in fitness activities. I remain cautious on Keep stock after a downsized IPO, but I like the long-term fitness story.
