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.

Giant Biogene IPO: Strong Growth Prospects Offsets Short-Term Margin Concerns

<ul>
<li>The strength about Giant Biogene is that the founders have R&amp;D background, which helps build trust. Meanwhile, the financial performance was good, with three years of consistent high margins.</li>
<li>The sustainability of high-profit model will face pressure due to increasing competition. The establishment of long-term core competitiveness and second growth point is important. Complex related-party transaction is another concern.</li>
<li>Giant Biogene is in an industry that has a large potential for future growth in valuation. Its valuation should be lower than that of Bloomage and Imeik.</li>
