Xtep International Placement – Parent Trimming at ATHs, Last Deal Didn’t Do Well

By Clarence Chu

  • Group Success Investments is looking to raise up to US$133m by trimming its holdings in Xtep International (1368 HK).
  • We can’t say that the deal is expected and short interest on the stock hasn’t been creeping up as well. 
  • While the deal won’t be a large one, representing just 5.7 days of three month ADV, the firm’s last deal hasn’t done well.

WCP IPO: Additional Important Considerations

By Douglas Kim

  • We remain Bearish on the WCP IPO. Our base case valuation of WCP is implied market cap of 3.0 trillion won and target price of 87,805 won per share.
  • In this insight, we highlight four additional important considerations to the WCP IPO including comparison to SK IE Technology, 1Q22 earnings comparison, higher IPO discount, and overly optimistic EBITDA estimates. 
  • We would categorize WCP as an excellent company but not exceptional as HPSP. Therefore, the weak market conditions will likely have a negative impact on the WCP IPO pricing.

Signature Global (India) Pre-IPO Tearsheet

By Clarence Chu

  • SignatureGlobal India Pvt Ltd (1468641D IN) is looking to raise around US$125m in its upcoming India IPO. The deal will be run by Axis, ICICI, and Kotak.
  • Signature Global is a real estate development company in India, with its primary operations being the development of residential real estate projects in the affordable and mid segment.
  • As of FY22, it had completed five projects with a land area of 34.9 acres and an aggregate saleable area of 2.86m sqft.

Pre-IPO Best Wellness Innovation Group – Here Are the Concerns

By Xinyao (Criss) Wang

  • The growth in revenue and profit was mainly driven by the face mask business, but this business has ceased, which raises the concerns on future growth momentum of Best Wellness.
  • Best Wellness’s weak performance of its own-brand business would prevent it from standing out in the fierce market competition in the long term. 
  • Together with over-reliance on limited customers and the complex international relations, we are conservative about the Company’s outlook at the current stage.
