Equity Capital Markets

Broncus raised HKD 1,552 million (USD 199m) from its global offering and will list on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on Friday, September 23rd.
In our previous note, we discussed that the company's core product, InterVapor, is a minimally invasive surgery that uses heated water vapor to treat the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In addition to the COPD indication, the company plans to further develop the product for the treatment of lung cancer. Another core product, RF-II uses radio frequency to treat lung cancer. Besides InterVapor and RF-II, the company also has a commercialized lung navigation system which has a leading market share in China. However, we believe the market for the lung navigation system is still in the early stage of development in China and hence the small market size.  We think the company has a strong pre-IPO investor line-up with backing from the founder of VenusMedtech and its management team is experienced. We also provided our thoughts on valuation of Broncus.
In this note, we look at the updates since our last note. We re-iterate our view that the company is fairly valued at the top end and will stay away from the company.
