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.


Events next week:

In Hong Kong this week, Helen's International Holding (9869 HK) launched its IPO bookbuild

We initiated coverage on other upcoming IPOs like ANE Logistics (1292621D CH) and Shanghai NewMed Medical (NMM HK) while Ming Lu took a trip down to the local supermarket and convenience store in China to get a sense of how Weilong Delicious Global (WDG HK)'s products compare to competitors.

In Japan, we shared our thoughts on peer comparison and valuation of Simplex Holdings (4373 JP). We also initiated on upcoming South Korean IPOs like Kakao Pay (377300 KS) and K Car (KCAR KS) which are looking to raise up to US$1.3bn and US$629m, respectively.

There were a handful of placements too. Most notably, West Japan Railway Co (9021 JP) was launched its unexpected US$2.7bn follow-on offering to fund strategic investments and repay debt.

The deal will price on 13th September. In Japan, Korea Post sold its entire (US$947m) stake in KakaoBank (323410 KS) in a block trade. The deal only represented 1.5 days ADV and was reported to be multiple times covered. Share price is still holding above deal price on Friday.

Finally, in Hong Kong, Dongyue Group (189 HK) raised about US$440m in its placement. The deal closed 15% above its deal price with books also multiple times covered.

Accuracy Rate:

Our overall accuracy rate is 74% for IPOs and 67.8% for Placements
