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>SenseTime delayed its IPO after it was included in a US investment blacklist and relaunched the IPO last week without the US investors and some additional disclosures to risk factors.</li>
<li>The HK offering was oversubscribed by 5.18x and the international offering by only 1.5x. We think the exclusion of US investors from the IPO led to poor international subscription.</li>
