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.

On February 18, 2021, when <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/new-horizon-health-limited" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:31039:1" rel="noopener">New Horizon Health (6606 HK)</a> listed in HKEX, its share price jumped 215%, with a market value of about HK$35.1 billion. As the first company in China’s colorectal cancer screening market that listed in HKEX, together with the strong market sentiment during that period of time, it was not surprising to see the stock price of New Horizon Health skyrocketed on the first day of IPO, but how far and how long can it go? Actually, in the first three quarters of 2020, the Company's revenue was only RMB35.3 million and its net loss was RMB534 million. The relatively small scale of revenue and large losses are also quite common for other domestic companies in this industry. Although China’s market of early screening and detection is attractive, the industry still has some concerns to address.
