Huitongda IPO – First Day Trading

By Oshadhi Kumarasiri

  • Huitongda (9878 HK) had a subdued stock market debut with shares opening marginally above the IPO price.
  • Its subdued first-day performance suggests that investors are no longer misled by artificially low valuation multiples of “1P” EC players.
  • Based on EV/ (GMV + Retail Revenue), there’s a 38% downside to Huitongda’s valuation. However, it may be best to wait for signs of weakness before arranging a short position.
