Long-Short Analysis on Japan, Asia and the World

LightStream Research

LightStream conducts quantitatively rigorous and data-driven analysis with a focus on Japan and Asia.

We consistently cover the Tech, Consumer and Industrial sectors, and provide ECM and Events coverage more broadly.

We supplement traditional qualitative insights from company relationships with a robust quantitative foundation that examines as much historical data as is available.
We further refine the accuracy of our insights and calls through the use of alternative data to flesh out current trends, and through a valuation framework that emphasises non-superficial peer group selection and a proper attempt to understand the metrics and changes that have driven security valuations in the past.

Alibaba backed B2B e-commerce business, Huitongda (1566215D CH) is looking to test the HK IPO market with its $500m IPO while Beijing is on the attack on Chinese new economy stocks.
The company’s focus on rural and lower tier markets sounds a promising prospect amidst the Chinese’s government’s push for common prosperity.
Nevertheless, we think that investors are more likely to focus on the barrage of regulatory assaults and the fragilities of Huitongda's business model.
