SOCAR IPO: Another Absurd Valuation

By Sanghyun Park

  • This IPO’s valuation is the trickiest among Korea’s recent IPOs. Whether all of these ten valuation peers have high enough business relevance to SOCAR is highly doubtful.
  • Whether SOCAR can evolve from a simple car sharing (or rental) operator to an in-vehicle software platform provider actually determines the success or failure of this IPO.
  • However, the IPO prospectus available to us lacks the evidence to favorably judge SOCAR’s growth potential. So, I will consider taking this IPO as conservatively as possible.
