1. Discover HK Connect: Mainlanders Were Buying Pharma and Property Managers in December
In our Discover HK Connect series, we aim to help our investors understand the flow of southbound trades via the Hong Kong Connect, as analyzed by our proprietary data engine. We will discuss the stocks that experienced the most inflow and outflow by mainlanders in the past seven days.
We split the stocks eligible for the Hong Kong Connect trade into three groups: those with a market capitalization of above USD 5 billion, those with a market capitalization between USD 1 billion and USD 5 billion, and those with a market capitalization between USD 500 million and USD 1 billion.
2. Weimob IPO: Prospectus Point to Mixed Fundamentals
Weimob.com (1260480D CH) is a combination of a SaaS software and an adtech (targeted marketing) business. It is backed by Tencent Holdings (700 HK), which is 3% shareholder and its largest customer. Weimob has started book building to raise gross proceeds of $108-135 million. Cornerstone investors which include a close associate of Tencent and Huifu Payment Limited (1806 HK) have agreed to purchase $42 million worth of shares in the offering.
The prospectus provides 1H18 results and selective disclosure on the first nine months of 2018. Overall, we believe that Weimob’s fundamentals are mixed and any prospective IPO multiple needs to be adjusted for the material capitalisation of expenses.
