Miniso: Genuinely Undervalued & A Decent Long Hedge to Increase Short Exposure to Chinese E-Commerce

By Oshadhi Kumarasiri

  • After hitting the bottom during the COVID crisis, the only direction left for MINISO Group Holdings (MNSO US) to move is up.
  • Given the current valuations, Miniso could generate multi-bagger returns during favourable market conditions.
  • In addition, Miniso could help investors generate sizable returns in the short-term on the short side with increased short exposure to Chinese E-commerce.

Shanghai Junshi Bioscience Placement- Junshi Is Having a Hard Time, with Lower than Expected Returns

By Xinyao (Criss) Wang

  • Junshi’s fatal flaw is not that it is still suffering loss, or that its founders have no medical background, but that the Company is very short of money.
  • Considering the gloomy prospects of etesevimab/VV116, uncertainties in toripalimab and other late-stage candidates, we remain conservative about Junshi’s commercialization outlook. Junshi’s higher valuation than Innovent is not justified.
  • Together with unfriendly macro environment, we don’t think heavy investment in R&D/MRCT/commercial development could bring high return as expected.Investors need to be rational about Junshi’s RMB4 billion private placement plan.
