OASIS IPO Pricing Is Not Even Worth Reviewing: Strongly Recommend Avoiding It

By Sanghyun Park

  • Of the four peers, only Coupang adopts the gross method. Since the others adopt the net method, it is impossible to compare PSR with OASIS, which uses the gross method.
  • If they really want to use PSR, it should only be compared with Coupang. Even if we apply CPNG’s current EV/Sales multiple (1.36x), it would only slightly exceed ₩0.5T.
  • A more logical way would be to use EV/GMV. Even in this case, it wouldn’t be easy to expect a valuation higher than ₩0.5T.

Wuxi Biologics Placement (2269 HK) – Things Are No Longer Easy When the Magic of CXO Wears Off

By Xinyao (Criss) Wang

  • WuXi Bio announced the placing of existing shares by substantial shareholder. Obviously, the share price was in  “comfortable position” for the management, so they think it’s time to take action.
  • WuXi Bio faces the uncertainty of future high growth.GSK deal/AD drug orders cannot offset the loss of COVID-19 orders.We advised to invest when it’s in “sector resonance” with “difference in expectations”.
  • What we’re most worried about this year isn’t recession/depression but Taiwan, which is the last card the US hasn’t yet played. If situation’s really bad,something may happen in Taiwan Strait.
