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

Hong Kong had a busy week. Bairong (1569395D CH) launched its bookbuild on Thursday this week and books were covered after the first day despite the lack of support from reputable names in the cornerstone list.

For secondary listings, Bilibili Inc (9626 HK) launched bookbuild to raise about US$2.8bn and books were covered,as per news reports. Baidu (9888 HK)'s secondary listing, which opened books last week, was said to be priced at HK$252 per share and will list this coming Tuesday.

For other upcoming IPOs, Linklogis (LINK HK) is said to have won HKEX approval and will be starting its pre-marketing this coming Monday. We have covered the IPO earlier in:

We also initiated coverage on Monde Nissin Corp (0191881D PM)'s IPO, which is expected to raise about US$1bn.

Monde Nissin Pre-IPO - The Positives - High Market Share

In the U.S., Tuya Inc (TUYA US) went through a speedy IPO process. It launched its books on Monday, closed it a day later, and was already listed by Thursday. Its successful debut continued the Asia ADR (including Coupang) win streak. It debuted 28% higher but closed just 19% above IPO price. The strong sentiment should bode well for other upcoming China ADRs like Zhihu Technology (ZH US) and Smart Share Global (EM US) (also known as Energy Monster).

Placements in Asia this week were scattered across different countries. There was a long-dated Japan international follow-on offering by Change Inc (3962 JP) and Carlyle's overnight partial selldown of their stake in SBI Cards & Payment Services (SBICARD IN).

We also think that there will likely be blocks sold by shareholders of Tencent Holdings (700 HK), Ming Yuan Cloud Group (909 HK) and IDP Education (IEL AU).

Accuracy Rate:

Our overall accuracy rate is 74% for IPOs and 67.4% for Placements
