Wuxi XDC IPO: Forecasts and Valuation
- Wuxi plans to issue 178.4m shares at an indicative IPO price range of HK$19.9-20.6 per share and will raise net proceeds of US$479m at the midpoint of the IPO price.
- The company’s revenues have seen robust growth during the last 3-years driven by growth in ADC outsourcing market while margins have continued to decline.
- We have valued WuXi XDC Cayman (1877628D HK) using a DCF valuation which offers price per share of HK$23.44, 15.7% higher than the midpoint of the IPO price of HK$20.25.
Prime Market Is Still the Market with the Most Listed Companies Even After 171 Companies Are Removed
- The baseless confidence of the 177 companies that finally moved to Standard Market that their market capitalization would increase in18 months was nothing more than a waste of time.
- It is fine for a company to aim to be listed on the highest prime market, but high shareholder returns and quality management must come first.
- If the listing criteria for prime market was JPY100 billion market capitalization, the gap with investors who initially expected prime market before the market restructuring would have been much smaller.
