SUMMARY

Aequitas Research puts out a weekly update on the deals that have been covered by the team recently along with updates for upcoming IPOs.


Hong Kong IPO activity is still looking busy. Joy Spreader Interactive Technology (6988 HK) and Huazhu Group (HTHT US) launched their respective US$225m and US$900m bookbuilds this week.

On top of that, there were news reports that ZTO Express, Zai Lab and Baozun, Ming Yuan Cloud Group, and, Genor Biopharma, have gotten approval from HKEx. The first three names are secondary listings and, out of them, two have already filed their PHIP with HKEx as of Friday. We are also hearing that Genor Biopharma (0883276D CH) is looking to kickstart pre-marketing next week for its US$300m IPO.

We continued our coverage of Ant Group. This week, Sumeet Singh looked into implications of dual listing on index inclusion. There were also news reporting that Temasek and GIC are looking to participate in Ant Group's IPO.

In other parts of Asia, there seemed to be a wave of IPOs coming. We continue to look at Converge ICT Solutions Inc (ITC PM), this time, comparing the company with established peers in the Philippines.

We are also hearing that, in India, UTI Asset Management (UTIAMC IN) and Computer Age Management Services (CAMS IN) are looking to launch their IPO next week. We have earlier covered the companies in:

Last, but not least, there were a handful of China ADR filings with the SEC. We took a look at Bain Capital-backed Chindata (CD US)'s potential US$400m IPO.

Also, as mentioned last week, MR D.I.Y. Group (1706769D MK) is returning to market and it was pre-marketing during the week, likely to seek up to US$400m and, in Thailand, there were reports that SCG Packaging (SCGP TB) is targeting to launch its US$1.5bn IPO next month.

For placements, we share updates on Softbank Corp (9434 JP)'s mega selldown by Softbank Group (9984 JP) which is looking to price on Monday.
