IPOs and Placements coverage across Asia Pacific

Aequitas Research

We cover all listing across the Asia Pacific along with follow-up placements. As of Dec 2020, our team had covered 539 IPOs with a hit rate of 73.5% and 685 placements with a hit rate of 66.8%.

We combine fundamental bottom-up views with our proprietary quantitative framework to provide a holistic coverage across new listings and placements. Our coverage includes pre-IPO notes before the deal is launched, follow-up analysis once the deal is live and post-listing trading analysis as well.

<p>Angelalign is a leading clear aligner player in China with a market share of nearly half. The company is looking to raise up to USD 300 million via a Hong Kong listing.</p>
<p>In our previous note, we discussed that the company provides the dentists its proprietary digital system that assists in planning the customized treatment for malocclusion patients and sells the clear aligners.  We think the overall story is interesting, with an under penetrated market, a foreign player side-by-side, strong growth and solid financials. While it sells medical devices, it has a consumer element in the products that is similar to aesthetic products. The company also has a long track record for more than 10 years in the market. We think it will be a hot deal that is worth following by investors.</p>
<p>In this note, we will compare the company with its close peer and provide our preliminary thoughts on valuation.</p>

This insight mainly analyzed the logic behind the rally of stock price, the future business prospects and investment suggestion of this Company.</p>
