Wharf REIC 1997HK: Should We Bet on HK Luxury Retail? Lack of Catalyst & Weak Chinese Spending Power
- In this insight, we conducted fundamental analysis on Wharf REIC . It has a simple business model that it operates key malls in HK including Harbour City and Times Square
- Macro-Wise, despite Wharf REIC should be seeing a recovery trend in terms of retail sales, the weak Chinese economy could pose concern on Wharf REIC’s retail sales
- Wharf REIC is also facing several headwinds such as high interest cost and weak office market in Hong Kong. We view the re-rating potential limited despite attractive valuation

Unisound AI Technology IPO: Speech Recognition AI Unicorn And Developer of LLM UniGPT
- Founded in 2012, Unisound AI Technology is a Beijing-based pioneer in Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). The company offers easy-to-deploy AI products and solutions in China.
- Unisound AI Technology seeks to raise capital for R&D activities, international expansion, and general working capital purposes. The company chose CICC and Haitong to tap capital markets with HK IPO.
- I like growing brand recognition, in-house 60B-parameter LLM UniGPT, high growth in the Smart Life segment, and the opportunity to sell self-developed proprietary AI chips in China.
