1. Meituan Dianping (美团点评): Thoughts Before Lock-Up Expiry
Meituan Dianping, the largest O2O platform in China, was listed on September 20th last year and lock-up expiry will be on March 20th. The stock has returned -13% since listing.
- As it heads into lock-up expiry on March 20th, we will examine Meituan Dianping shareholder structure and potential shares up for sale.
- Meituan was included by MSCI recently and will be eligible for the Hong Kong Connect soon thanks to rule amendment.
- The company delivered a decent topline growth in 3Q2018 but its profit fell short of expectation. We highlight potentials from the food supply chain solution. We also discuss implication from MoBike acquisition.
- We review our SOTP valuation of Meituan and believe there is an upside.
