Last Week In Event SPACE: Hang Seng, Welcia/Tsuruha, HKT, Genting, Daiichi, Aussie Rare Earths
- Hang Seng Bank (11 HK) is trading tight – perhaps too tight – to terms, as every punter views the deal as a term deposit.
- Be long Welcia Holdings (3141 JP). Be long Tsuruha Holdings (3391 JP). Buy dips. Buy big dips post-tender. Future guidance will include synergy effects.
- Richard Li’s HKT Ltd (6823 HK) is in the crosshairs as FCC moves to expel the telco from U.S. networks.

- I tally 43 – mostly firm, mostly Asia-Pac – arb transactions currently being discussed and analysed on Smartkarma.

China Healthcare Weekly (Oct.19)-Bubble of HK Biotech Is Bursting, Ping An Good Doctor Is Overvalued
- The “turning point” occurs as share price of innovative drug sector is pulling back. Many companies would see valuations halved – potentially more than once.The decline is far from over.
- The current main goal of biotech is to turn losses into profits ASAP. If it fails to make a profit, it may not be recognized by the market.
- Due to the concerns on Ping An Healthcare and Technology (1833 HK)’s business model, peak revenue scale could be just RMB8 billion. In other words, Ping An Healthcare is overvalued.
