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.

<li>One important reason S.F. chose to go public on Hong Kong stock market is due to financial pressure, which mainly comes from its heavy asset development model and internationalization strategy.</li>
<li>Considering the discount of the H-share price versus the A-share price, if the IPO pricing is at the lower limit of the range, then the safety margin would be higher.</li>
<li>In the short term, S.F. is better than JD Logistics, so its valuation should be higher than JD Logistics and industry average. Future valuation expansion depends on international business performance.</li>
