Acotec, a leading China-based peripheral-vascular interventional device company, started book building to raise up to USD 210m via a Hong Kong listing.In our previous note, we looked at two core drug coated balloon products of the company, namely the AcoArt Orchid &amp; Dhalia for the above the knee artery stenosis and AcoArt Tulip &amp; Litos for the below the knee stenosis. Both AcoArt Orchid &amp; Dhalia, and AcoArt Tulip &amp; Litos reported efficacy that could be potentially better than its benchmark product. Thanks to its early mover advantage, the AcoArt Orchid &amp; Dhalia had a dominant market share. The main growth driver of the company's core product will be increasing penetration rate and indication expansion. Besides the DCB products, we think the company's product pipeline is not exciting. The company has a good management team but the pre-IPO investors are overall mediocre.In this note, we provide an update for the book building. We think the risk reward does not warrant a participation at the high end.
