ECM Weekly (13 Jul 2019) - Budweiser APAC IPO Cancelled, Douyu Listing Next Week
Aequitas Research puts out a weekly update on the deals that have been covered by Smartkarma Insight Providers recently, along with updates for upcoming IPOs.
It's an unfortunate week for Asia's ECM market as Budweiser Brewing Company APAC (1876 HK) was not able to price its IPO on Friday and, as of this morning, AB InBev announced that the IPO has been called off. Perhaps the massive deal size without cornerstone investors and the tight valuation discount were too much for investors to digest. In any case, it will likely affect the sentiment of any upcoming mega IPOs in Hong Kong.
Beyond that, next week will be filled with trading debuts. In Hong Kong, there are Zhongliang Holdings (2772 HK), Edvantage Group (382 HK), and Jinshang Bank Co Ltd (2558 HK) listing on Tuesday and Thursday. Zhongliang priced close to the bottom of its price range while Edvantage and Jinshang priced at and slightly above their mid-point respectively.
In Singapore, Prime Us Reit (PRIME SP) is listing on Friday while Douyu International Holdings (DOYU US) is listing on Wednesday. We heard that Douyu's books have already been covered.

Beyond that, this week's IPO performance in Hong Kong had been lacklustre. CIMC Vehicle Group Co Ltd (1839 HK) closed below its IPO price on the first day while IVD Medical (1931 HK) struggled and closed right at its IPO price.
