Pre-IPO TYK Medicines (PHIP Updates) – Some Points Worth the Attention

By Xinyao (Criss) Wang

  • TY-9591 has differentiated indication compared with the current listed third-generation EGFR-TKI, but it still depends on the final clinical results, which also bring more uncertainty to the commercialization performance.
  • TYK’s development strategy requires it to invest heavily on head-to-head trials.Due to cash shortage, until TYK successfully addresses survival pressure,we recommend a more cautious assessment of pipeline prospects/future R&D arrangements.
  • TYK is a “mediocre” company. The valuation (RMB3.08 billion) is based on optimistic expectations that core product will be successfully developed, become Me-Better, and commercialized smoothly.We’re, however, conservative about this.

Solera IPO Preview: Low Single-Digit Growth and $8B+ of Variable Rate Indebtedness

By Andrei Zakharov

  • Solera Corp, the global leader in vehicle lifecycle management and automotive software solution provider, filed to list IPO on New York Stock Exchange.

  • With $8B+ of variable rate indebtedness and low single-digit growth, the risk-reward profile of Solera IPO looks increasingly skewed to the downside.

  • Invincible Investment Corp Placement  – Another Accretive Acquisition, past Deals Have Done Well
  • Premier Energies Pre-IPO – Still Ramping up but Already Profitable


Big Honda (7267) Offering – Flow Timing Matters

By Travis Lundy

  • The ¥500bn Offering of Honda shares is now priced (¥1,664.5/share) making it ¥497.46bn. Bookbuilding for retail – 80% of the book – is now. The price today closed at ¥1,665/share. 
  • The Offering has follow-on “non-discretionary” demand which is non-negligible. It is worth understanding the amounts and timing.
  • The lockups and non-discretionary demand, along with Honda’s relative cheapness as a large cap OEM and likely upcoming offerings on competitors means it has support.

By Clarence Chu

  • Invincible Investment (8963 JP) is looking to raise around US$375m in its primary follow-on offering. The proceeds will be used to partially acquire 12 assets from its Sponsor’s affiliates. 
  • The REIT has been very active on the acquisition front, and has highlighted its ongoing discussions with its Sponsor for acquisitions. Thus, the current deal should be well flagged.

Daily Brief ECM: Hyundai Motor India Pre-IPO – Peer Comparison – Doesn’t Stand Out and more

By | Daily Briefs, ECM

In today’s briefing:

  • Hyundai Motor India Pre-IPO – Peer Comparison – Doesn’t Stand Out
  • Sanil Electric IPO Book Building Results Analysis
  • Pre-IPO Distinct Healthcare Holdings-  Hard to Deliver the Expected Returns Due to Growth Bottleneck


Hyundai Motor India Pre-IPO – Peer Comparison – Doesn’t Stand Out

By Sumeet Singh

  • Hyundai Motor (005380 KS) is looking to raise around US$3bn via listing its India unit, Hyundai Motor India. HMI is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Hyundai Motor Group.
  • HMI primarily manufactures and sells four-wheeler passenger vehicles and parts. Currently its vehicle portfolio includes 13 passenger vehicle models across sedans, hatchbacks, SUVs and battery EVs.
  • In our previous note, we looked at the company’s past performance. In this note, we undertake a peer comparison.

Sanil Electric IPO Book Building Results Analysis

By Douglas Kim

  • Sanil Electric reported excellent IPO book building results. The IPO price has been determined at 35,000 won, which is 16.7% higher than the high end of the IPO price range.
  • The demand ratio from 2,205 institutional investors was 414 to 1. Sanil Electric (062040 KS) IPO will start trading on 29 July 2024. 
  • Our base case valuation of Sanil Electric is market cap of 1.8 trillion won or target price of 58,593 won (67% higher than the IPO price of 35,000 won).

Pre-IPO Distinct Healthcare Holdings-  Hard to Deliver the Expected Returns Due to Growth Bottleneck

By Xinyao (Criss) Wang

  • Due to industry characteristics, it would be difficult for Distinct Healthcare to scale up. The Company is more of “a supplementary role” in the entire medical service system in China.
  • Profit margin is not satisfactory and cost side is also difficult to reduce. Even if Distinct Healthcare successfully turns losses into profits, it’s hard to generate good returns for investors.
  • Post-Money valuation was US$510 million after Series E financing. For a company that would encounter bottlenecks in both revenue and profit growth, it would be difficult to achieve high valuation.

The Honda (7267) Offering – Much Easier Than It Looks

By Travis Lundy

  • At the beginning of this month, we got a scoop from Reuters about a US$3bn selldown of Honda Motor (7267 JP) by P&C insurers and others. 
  • We knew this was coming at some point. The FSA had pushed the insurers to unwind cross-holdings, and it is otherwise of the zeitgeist. 
  • It came out as heavily retail-oriented, and the supply/demand details are otherwise interesting. To boot, there is an EPS boost to come.

By Arun George

  • Since the US$3.3 billion secondary placement announcement, Honda Motor (7267 JP)’s shares are down 5% from the undisturbed price of JPY1,791 per share (4 July).

  • Similar to previous GDR listings, the firm has undergone a long drawn out process prior to launching the deal, having to jump through a number of board/shareholder/regulatory approval loops.
  • In this note, we run the deal through our ECM framework and comment on deal dynamics.

Hyundai Motor India IPO: The Bear Case

By Arun George


OneStream IPO Preview and Valuation Analysis: Modest Upside and Top-Tier Backers

By Andrei Zakharov

  • OneStream, the financial software maker and enterprise-focused technology company, set terms for its IPO and plans to raise ~$441M at the midpoint of the range at $18.00 per share.  
  • The company was backed by American global investment company KKR, D1 Capital Partners, Investment Group of Santa Barbara and Tiger Global Management.
  • The offering is attractively valued vs. peers given 30%+ growth rates at scale and cash flow generation. OneStream shares are expected to list on the Nasdaq next week.

I-Scream Media IPO Valuation Analysis

By Douglas Kim

  • Our valuation analysis suggests a base case implied market cap of 567 billion won or implied price per share of 41,450 won.
  • This suggests a 3% upside to the high end of the IPO price range. We would not subscribe to this IPO due to lack of upside.
  • Our base case valuation is based on P/E of 18.8x using the company’s net profit of 30.2 billion won in 2023.

Niva Bupa Health Insurance Pre-IPO Tearsheet

By Clarence Chu

  • Niva Bupa Health Insurance (1226871D IN) is looking to raise US$360m in its upcoming India IPO. The bookrunners on the deal are MS, Kotak, Axis, ICICI, HDFC, and Motilal Oswal.

By Sumeet Singh

  • The company has undertaken a number of deals in the past and has a mixed track record.
  • In this note, we will talk about the placement and run the deal through our ECM framework.

Pre-IPO Bloks Group – High Growth May Not Be Sustainable

By Xinyao (Criss) Wang

  • The key for high growth in 2023/24Q1 lies in its assembly character toys with renowned IPs,which may not be sustainable or even collapse if Bloks fails to renew license agreements.
  • The advantages of Bloks in development prospects, self-developed IPs, brand stickiness are not obvious. The latest valuation reached RMB7.2 billion, but the founder has already cashed out before IPO. 
  • Hong Kong stock market has been “lukewarm” to toy companies. Except Pop Mart, valuation/share price of peers are quite weak.How to gain investor/market’s recognition for Bloks is a question mark.

Timee IPO: Forecasts and Valuation

By Shifara Samsudeen, ACMA, CGMA

  • Timee has set an indicative IPO price range of ¥1,350-1,450 per share and will raise US$280m (at the midpoint) where existing shareholders will sell down part of their ownership.
  • We expect Timee’s earnings to grow as the company is still in its early stages and with further growth in scale, we expect Timee’s margins to continue to expand further.
  • Our analysis shows that Timee Inc (215A JP) IPO is valued attractively as the company has better-than-peer margin profile which suggests that there is further upside to implied valuation multiples.
