The shared economy companies&nbsp;are threatened by laws and regulation. But then, which <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disruptive_innovation" target="_blank">disruptive</a> businesses are not? Uber and Airbnb are likely to be darlings of Wall Street if they decide to go public. But will they live up to the hype? Possibly in the long run, some things could go downhill. But with access to capital, low debts and high reach, these companies are likely to cover their tracks and stay on top in the near future. But skeptics would compare these possible high profile IPOs to <a href="http://www.forbes.com/sites/joanlappin/2013/11/11/two-years-after-its-busted-ipo-groupon-still-cant-turn-a-profit/" target="_blank">Groupon</a> and <a href="http://www.cnbc.com/id/102020026" target="_blank">Alibaba</a> which saw decline in shares after going public. Time will tell.

Will the 'shared economy' pioneers be the next Twitter or Facebook?

Insights across South East Asia

Equity Bottom-Up

Founded in 1999 as a high-tech spin-off from the Nanyang Technological University Singapore (ranked #13th in QS Global World University Rankings 2021 – 6th year in a row) by Dr. Shi Xu, NanoFilm Technologies International Pte Ltd (NTI) offers coating solutions that provide functional and/or aesthetic improvements to its customers’ end-products.Its share price has a nice rally post IPO and left investors to wonder whether there will be anything left. There are many reasons why investors should be excited about <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/nanofilm-technologies-international" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:29700:1" rel="noopener">Nanofilm (NANO SP)</a> namely 1) blue-chip customers' stickiness in the tech sector including Microsoft as well as 2) the expanding Total Addressable Market for its coating business that will include EV sectors and 3) this could be an ESG stock from Environmental angle due to its exposure in EV that will mean less CO2 emission. I am still bullish on this.
