Fosun (656 HK): ClubMed Spin-Off Won’t Move The Needle
- Back in 1Q25, Fosun International (656 HK) took ClubMed operator Fosun Tourism private at ~US$1.2bn via a Scheme: Fosun Tourism (1992 HK)’s Scheme Buyback Vote On The 4th March.
- Fosun is now proposing to relist the unit. Word is that Fosun is seeking to raise US$500mn, with a possible listed valuation upward of US$3bn.
- With sliding earnings, falling margins, that kind of pricing is optimistic.
Public Financial Holdings (626 HK): Public Bank’s Scheme Offer at HK$2.50
- Public Financial (626 HK) announced a scheme privatisation offer from Public Bank (PBK MK) at HK$2.50 per share, a 61.3% premium to the undisturbed price. The offer is final.
- The offer is well below book value (P/B of 0.35x) and light compared to peer multiples. However, it is an attractive exit as it represents a 10-year high.
- The vote is low-risk, as the high takeover premium will appeal to minorities given the near-term cash certainty compared to remaining a minority holder in an illiquid, 73%-controlled stock.
YMTC (长江存储) Pre-IPO: Tearsheet
- YMTC, a 3D NAND flash memory IDM, has filed its prospectus with the Shanghai Stock Exchange for a STAR Market listing. CITIC and CSC are the joint sponsors.
- We look at the company’s core segments: NAND Flash products and other products and services.
- We then look at the company’s financial profile, profit turnaround, pre-IPO valuation and investor backing.
Aequitas: ClubMed Pre-IPO Tearsheet
- ClubMed Lifestyle Group (CLBMD HK) is looking to raise up to US$700m in its upcoming Hong Kong IPO. The deal will be run by BNP, HSBC and JPM.
- ClubMed Lifestyle Group is a global premium vacation lifestyle group.
- The firm focuses on delivering comprehensive, high-quality premium all-inclusive resort operations and asset-light vacation scenario services.
Public Financial (626 HK): HK$2.50/Share Will Get This Offer Over The Line
- In Public Financial (626 HK) Halted: Public Bank (PBK MK) Takeover Expected, I speculated Public Bank (PBK MK) may make a HK$2.50/share Scheme Offer for 73.23%-held Public Financial (626 HK).
- And that is what unfolded. It’s a 61.29% premium to last close. The Offer price is final. Dividends will be netted.
- I don’t see why this transaction cannot be fast-tracked in say, four months, well ahead of the 31st March 2027 long-stop.
CICC (3908 HK): CSRC’s Approval of the Merger
- CICC (3908 HK) has received CSRC approval for its merger with Cinda Securities (601059 CH) and Dongxing Securities (601198 CH), but its share price has fallen.
- Concerns about EPS dilution are valid, as CDS’ and DXS’ 1H26 earnings are weaker than CICC’s. However, amid increased industry consolidation, the merger is strategically important.
- CICC now sits at 0.57x 12-month forward P/B, just the average since 2021. We expect the merger to enhance book value, and H-shareholders will benefit more.

Shenzhen Forms Syntron Information (FMSY HK): Synthetic Expert Call Transcript (08 Sep 2026)
- Successful Strategic Pivot to Offshore Markets: Shenzhen Forms Syntron has effectively navigated intense price competition in Mainland China by executing a stark pivot toward Hong Kong and Southeast Asia. This shift is highlighted by overseas revenue contributing 80.6% of total revenue in 2025, driving gross margin expansion to 37.8% despite a 14.8% decline in top-line revenue.
- Backlog Cleansing Behind Q1 2026 Margin Drop: The sudden decline in gross margin to 30.3% in early 2026 was a deliberate accounting clearance rather than a structural deterioration. It reflects the final delivery and cost-of-sales recognition of 22 legacy loss-making projects in Mainland China as the company aggressively winds down non-core domestic operations.
- Deep Infrastructure Lock-in Mitigates Customer Concentration: While top-five customer concentration remains extremely high at 86.5%—with Bank of China Group acting as the core anchor client—Forms Syntron’s central role in critical digital financial infrastructure (such as HKMA’s Project mBridge, e-HKD, and Project Ensemble) provides high switching costs and structural pricing power that peers like Sunline or Yusys cannot easily replicate.
