Despite the promise of online retailing and its rapid growth, there are worrying signs that point to either a coming slowdown, data discrepancies, or unsustainable shifts in consumer behavior.  Though it is too soon to say for sure, what is happening, the warning signs are there.

Nameson Holdings / Equity Capital Markets

Nameson Holding, a knitwear manufacturer in PRC, plans to raise US$66-86m through an issuance of primary shares. Proceeds from the deal will primarily be used to fund the second phase of its Vietnam factory. The deal scores a marginally positive score on our framework, as its supported by strategic cornerstones and valuations appear undemanding at the low end.However, the company's past record has been lackluster and might not improve before 2017-18. In addition, all the founders assets aren't being listed and recent related party dues adjustments are almost the same as the IPO proceeds.
