  • Dominant Market Leader with Strategic Assets: IPCC is the pioneering and largest operator of specialized vehicle terminals in Indonesia, holding a dominant market share (approximately 80%) in new vehicle handling at its primary location, the Port of Tanjung Priok, which is Indonesia’s busiest port.

IPCC maintains a strong, debt-free financial position, enabling it to consistently distribute high dividends, as evidenced by a dividend yield exceeding 13% in the latest fiscal year.
  • Favorable Industry Tailwinds and Expansion Strategy: IPCC is well-positioned to capitalize on the long-term growth of the Indonesian automotive market, including the rise of electric vehicles (EVs) and government initiatives to boost exports.

  • Significant growth potential exists due to the low penetration of monitored security services in Verisure’s core European markets (around 4%) compared to the U.S. (around 23%), providing a long runway for customer acquisition and expansion.

Apple, Intel, and the Systems Foundry Gambit

By Raghav Vashisht

[Japan ECM] MIGALO Holdings (5535 JP) Offering to Raise Capital, Generate Interest

By Travis Lundy

  • Migalo Holdings (5535 JP) is one of the rare TSE Prime-listed companies which got the boot from TOPIX, stayed in Prime, and is clawing its way back. 
  • As of end-March-25, it met all the criteria to stay in Prime and rejoin TOPIX. Now they are launching a primary offering, and this may presage an effort to rejoin.

  • The Swedish budget announcement of unfunded reforms totaling 120 billion in additional easing caused Swedish rates to rise and yield curves to adjust.

Mirae Asset Group Companies Continuing To Buy Mirae Asset Life Insurance – A Prelude to Delisting?

By Douglas Kim

  • The increased purchase of Mirae Asset Life Insurance shares by the Mirae Asset Group companies could be a PRELUDE to a potential voluntary delisting of Mirae Asset Life Insurance.

Primer: Punjab National Bank (PNB IN) – Sep 2025

By αSK

  • Punjab National Bank (PNB) is demonstrating a significant financial turnaround, marked by robust growth in net income and revenue over the past three years. This is supported by a strategic focus on improving asset quality and diversifying its lending portfolio.
  • As the second-largest public sector bank in India, PNB benefits from extensive government backing and a vast branch network, providing a stable, low-cost deposit base. The bank is leveraging this position to push for digital transformation and expand into high-growth sectors like renewable energy and infrastructure.
  • Key challenges remain, including managing historical non-performing assets (NPAs), navigating intense competition from private sector banks and fintech companies, and mitigating cybersecurity risks. Sustained execution of its strategic initiatives will be crucial for long-term value creation.

By αSK

  • On July 1, 2023, HDFC Limited, India’s largest mortgage lender, merged with HDFC Bank, the country’s largest private sector bank, in a historic $40 billion deal. This primer analyzes the pre-merger entity, HDFC Limited, and its integration into HDFC Bank.
  • The merger creates a financial services behemoth with a combined asset base of around ₹18 trillion, positioning it to capitalize on India’s burgeoning housing finance market. The home loan business is a central pillar of the merged entity’s growth strategy.
  • Significant cross-selling opportunities exist, as a large portion of HDFC Limited‘s customers did not bank with HDFC Bank, and vice versa. The integration aims to leverage HDFC Bank’s extensive distribution network and lower cost of funds to enhance the mortgage business.

By David Blennerhassett

  • In MINISO (9896 HK)’s (Possible) TOP TOY Spin-Off Is Priced In, based on (then) available figures and applying a holding company discount, post spin-off, MINISO’s upside appeared limited.

By Nico Rosti

  • Our base case valuation of the Pinkfong Co is implied market cap of 671.4 billion won or target price of 46,369 won per share (over the next 6-12 months). 
  • This represents a 22% upside to the high end of the IPO price range. Given the reasonable upside, we have a Positive view of the Pinkfong Co IPO.
  • Pinkfong Co is one of the most sought-after acquisition candidates in the global animation industry and this is one of the major reasons why it should trade at premium valuation.

Investors Are Less Interested in Companies that Generate Little Cash Despite Shareholder Returns

By Aki Matsumoto

  • The shift toward management that creates value through dialogue with overseas investors is evident in the relationship between foreign shareholding ratios, capital profitability, and stock price valuations.
  • There is significant correlation between cash reserves and ROA. ROA, which reflects the cash flow returns generated by a business, is considered to be closely related to stock price valuation.
  • Companies with high cash generation capabilities and large amounts of cash on hand are expected to invest in generating more cash flow and return cash to shareholders.

By Michael Fritzell

Basilea Pharmaceutica — BARDA backs latest antibacterial programme

By Edison Investment Research

Basilea Pharmaceutica has secured a BARDA contract of up to $159m to advance ceftibuten-ledaborbactam etzadroxil, its recently in-licensed oral, Phase III-ready antibiotic for complicated urinary tract infections (cUTIs). The agreement replaces the original BARDA deal with the licensee Venatorx (October 2023) and provides $6m in committed near-term funding, with a further up to $153m in milestone-based payments, including support for the planned Phase III programme. We believe that this development meaningfully reduces clinical and funding risk for ceftibuten-ledaborbactam, which holds fast track and qualified infectious disease product designations from the FDA. Basilea has also recently received a commitment for a third $25m tranche under its separate $268m OTA funding agreement with BARDA ($93m committed to date), further validating its anti-infective pipeline.

Behind % Rising Female Board Members, How Many Companies Make Progress Reforming Their Boards?

By Aki Matsumoto

  • Amidst very modest improvements in corporate governance over the past few years, the percentage of female board members has steadily increased.
  • Even if the %of female board members rises, there’re concerns that it will be a repeat of governance reforms that have’t achieved to transform management into one that creates value.
  • Whether companies that step forward with diversity-conscious boards of directors can use this as a catalyst for management change, and promote female executive directors within companies, will be closely watched.

ECM Weekly (29 September 2025)- Zijin, Chery, CAREIT, Orion, Butong, Victory Giant, Northern Star

By Sumeet Singh

  • Aequitas Research’s weekly update on the IPOs, placements, lockup expiry and other ECM linked events that were covered by the team over the past week.
  • On the IPO front, this week saw a few good listings across the region while the spotlight will be on Zijin Gold (2259 HK) in the coming week.
  • On the placements front, it was a relatively quiter week, as compared to some of the more recent weekly flows.

IPO Review: India’s Youngest and Largest Player for Ethanol, Worth a Bet?

By Himanshu Dugar

  • TBL boasts of the largest ethanol distillery capacity (3.6% market share). With capex for input fungibility done, the company has set its sights on becoming the largest producer soon.
  • The expansion in Compressed Bio-gas compounds the growth levers, but will require material working capital investments. Sustainable aviation fuel opportunity also seems compelling in light of the recent government push.
  • IPO seems priced to perfection with deal multiples of 12x FY26 EBITDA, visibly at the higher end of 6-14x multiple for peers. Faster deleveraging may add to market cap upside.

Pre-IPO CF PharmTech (PHIP Updates) – Some Points Worth the Attention

By Xinyao (Criss) Wang

  • CF017 is CF PharmTech’s core performance driver. Once CF017 faces policy adjustments or intensified market competition, revenue will be significantly impacted. Its ability to sustain operations will be severely tested.
  • Although CF PharmTech has made a profit, problems such as a slowdown in revenue growth and heavy reliance on single product will lead to a valuation discount by the market.
  • A reasonable valuation range might be between RMB3-5 billion. If valuation exceeds RMB5 billion, it would seem overly optimistic and require strong support from subsequent performance and solid fundamentals.

Pre-IPO Suzhou Ribo Life Science – The Strength, the Concerns and the Outlook for the SiRNA Unicorn

By Xinyao (Criss) Wang

  • The delivery system is a crucial element that drives the development/iteration of innovative oligonucleotide therapeutics. Ribo has mastered both GalNAc and LNP technologies, whose effectiveness/safety have been verified and recognized.
  • The valuation fluctuations not only reflect the market’s prudence towards commercialization prospects of small nucleic acid drugs, but also highlight the balance problem between Ribo’s R&D investment and profit model.
  • Since Sirnaomics’ delivery technologies have not been proven or validated scientifically, Ribo’s valuation should be higher than Sirnaomics.Valuation outlook is based on the druggability and commercialization performance of Ribo’s pipelines.
