• We screen our HSCI September 2026 review candidates for southbound Connect action, with 36 Connect ADDs and 25 DELETEs.
• ADD candidates split into 31 ADD-NEW and 5 ADD-REJOIN, with one WVR name deferred and seven A+H names already in Connect.
• DELETE candidates are 23 MV cases and 2 velocity cases, after one A+H name is exempt from Connect deletion.

• Unitree Robotics (688836 CH) concluded its IPO price at Rmb150.8, and we estimate this equals 78.5x PER for FY26 and 55.3x for FY27.
• The IPO valuation is cheap when compared with the peer median of 86.7x and 119.7x, respectively. Its higher P/S of 21.2x and 15.2x is due to its better profitability.
• We calculate that it can reach 146.5x PER, or a price of Rmb399.5, 164.9% upside if we apply the current AH premium to the peers’ median FY27 PER. 

• Bizlink Holding (3665 TT) is looking to raise up to US$315m in its upcoming GDRs offering. The firm is also looking to raise another US$500m via convertible bonds.
• Similar to previous GDR listings, the firm has undergone a long drawn out process prior to launching the deal, having to jump through a number of board/shareholder/regulatory approval loops.
• In this note, we run the deal through our ECM framework and comment on deal dynamics.

• The SP 500 index tracks the 500 largest (mostly profitable) US-listed names and is one of the most highly-tracked indices in the world.
• We expect two ADDs and two DELs at the September 2026 rebalance, with some larger names likely skipped over on volatility grounds.
• No intra-review changes are expected before the rebal as the pending deals have been pushed out by regulatory challenges.

• LEAP India Limited (1414703D IN)  (Leap) is looking to raise up to US$260m in its upcoming India IPO.
• As per F&S, Leap is India’s largest on-demand asset pooling provider in supply chain management, operating a share-and-reuse model with 13.5 million assets across 7,747 customer touchpoints nationwide.
• In our earlier notes, we have looked at the company’s past performance. In this note, we talk about the RHP updates, peer comp and implied valuations in the price range.

• My base case valuation of Unitree Robotics IPO is implied market cap of 106.9 billion RMB, which is 155% higher than the company’s target valuation of 42 billion RMB. 
• My base case valuation is based on P/E of 81.9x (30% premium to the comps) using my estimated net profit of 1.3 billion RMB for the company in 2028.
• Unitree Robotics is one of the major leaders in the humanoid and quadruped robotics industry in China. 

• Axbis is demonstrating a remarkable financial turnaround, with strong revenue growth and a significant shift from a net loss in 2023 to robust profitability in 2025. This is driven by its specialized laser technology solutions for high-growth industries.
• Despite improving profitability, the company has exhibited consistently negative operating and free cash flows over the past three years, raising concerns about working capital management and capital expenditure intensity.
• Positioned in the growing industrial laser market in South Korea, Axbis serves key sectors like automotive, semiconductors, and electronics. Its valuation appears moderate compared to its peer, presenting a potential opportunity contingent on resolving its cash flow challenges.

• Financial Turnaround with Strong Outlook: JGC has successfully returned to profitability in the latest fiscal year after two years of losses, driven by improved execution on large-scale Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) projects. The company has a substantial order backlog of over ¥1.1 trillion, providing good visibility for near-term revenue and profit stabilization.
• Dominant Player in Global LNG Market: The company is a world-leading contractor for Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) plants, having built facilities that account for over 30% of global production capacity. This deep expertise positions JGC to capitalize on the continued medium-to-long-term demand for LNG as a key energy transition fuel.
• Strategic Pivot to New Energy and High-Margin Materials: While maintaining its strength in traditional energy, JGC is actively expanding into future-growth areas, including hydrogen, fuel ammonia, and Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). This is complemented by a stable, high-performance functional materials business, which provides diversification and a source of steady earnings.

• First Breach’s expansion into drone manufacturing through the 50/50 ideaForge joint venture (First Forge Technology Inc.) is fundamentally throttled by a severe liquidity crisis, marked by an accumulated deficit of $35.24 million and a revenue base of just $384,129 in FY 2025.
• The company’s claim of having “140+ potential sales channels” is a paper-thin narrative; these are unvetted, non-binding wholesale relationships with local ammunition dealers rather than the established enterprise or defense procurement pipelines required for Class 2–4 drone commercialization.
• With a $23.3 million secured debt load and a highly compressed cash runway as of their mid-2026 S-1/A filings, a debt restructuring or distress-driven asset sale is highly probable, especially since the pending Nasdaq direct listing (FBDT) raises zero growth capital.

• Deteriorating Financials: China Saftower is facing significant financial distress, characterized by a consistent decline in revenue, persistent and widening net losses, and negative margins over the past three fiscal years. The company’s Growth Track Record further underscores this, with 3-year and 5-year compound annual growth rates (CAGRs) for revenue and net income being deeply negative.
• Intense Industry Competition: The company operates in China’s highly fragmented and competitive wire and cable manufacturing industry. This market is characterized by overcapacity, particularly in low-end products, and intense price competition, which exerts significant pressure on profitability. The primary cost component, raw materials like copper and aluminum, accounts for over 70% of production costs, making the company highly vulnerable to volatile commodity prices.
• Macroeconomic Headwinds and Dependencies: The company’s performance is heavily reliant on China’s infrastructure and construction sectors. While there are long-term government initiatives to invest in the power grid and other infrastructure projects, recent data indicates a slowdown in fixed-asset and infrastructure investment, posing a near-term risk to demand.
