By Sumeet Singh

CNGR Advanced Material (2579 HK): Opportunity Is Out There

By Osbert Tang, CFA

  • CNGR Advanced Material (2579 HK)‘s IPO price was fixed at the low end at HK$34.00. However, valuation is inexpensive, and initial price weakness is a long-term opportunity.
  • Three groups of close peers, including nickel-related companies, mining companies, and lithium/battery companies, trade on average FY26F PER of 21x, vs. CNGR’s 12.5x.
  • By parking it with the steepest HA discount of its peers (26.2%), CNGR will be valued at HK$40.07, as its IPO price implies a massive 37.4% discount.

CNGR IPO Trading: Reasonable Valuation but Weak Insti Subs

By Nicholas Tan

  • CNGR is a Chinese battery-component producer and a new energy materials company.
  • We have covered various aspects of the deal in our previous note. In this note, we will talk about the demand and trading dynamics.

Pre-IPO Hunan Mabgeek Biotech – The Concerns and the Outlook

By Xinyao (Criss) Wang

  • The low diagnosis rate has been one of the main reasons why the sales performance of drugs for autoimmune diseases in China is much lower than that in overseas markets.
  • Despite slightly better clinical data than dupilumab/stapokibart, MG-K10 may not achieve a significant actual clinical difference in the end. For MG-014, its prospects could be uncertain in China market. 
  • Since Mabgeek has no commercialized product on the market, and the R&D progress is lagging behind competing products, together with fierce competition, valuation of Mabgeek would be lower than peers.
