Bama Tea Pre-IPO Tearsheet

By Nicholas Tan

  • Bama Tea (BAMA HK) is looking to raise at least US$100m in its upcoming Hong Kong IPO. The deal will be run by Huatai, ABC and TF International.
  • Bama Tea, as per the firm, is the most recognized tea brand in China and the leading provider of premium tea leaves in China.
  • It sells through its nationwide offline store network and comprehensive online sales platforms, and sells every major tea leaf category

Pre-IPO PegBio Co., Ltd. (PHIP Updates) – Some Points Worth the Attention

By Xinyao (Criss) Wang

  • The market’s expectations for GLP-1 have changed, and the sales growth of GLP-1 may enter a turning point, which would cast a shadow over the prospects of PegBio’s GLP-1 pipelines.
  • PB-119 would be the first commercialized product for PegBio. However, this market is highly crowded. It’s highly uncertain whether PB-119 can stand out from fierce market competition after its launch.
  • The post investment valuation has reached RMB4 billion, which is already expensive in our view. Due to poor valuation performance of peers, we are not optimistic about PegBio after IPO.
