2024 Major IPOs Pipeline in Korea

By Douglas Kim

  • This is our 9th “Annual Edition of the Major Korean IPOs Pipeline Preview” at Smartkarma.
  • This insight will feature 50 of the biggest potential IPOs in Korea in 2024.
  • These 50 IPOs in Korea are likely to represent more than 80% of all capital raised through IPOs in Korea next year.

IRCON Placement – Opportunistic Monetisation of a 2.5x YTD Gain

By Clarence Chu

  • The Government of India (GoI) is looking to raise US$155m from trimming a portion of its stake in Ircon International (IRCON IN), assuming the deal upsizes.
  • Assuming the deal upsizes, while it would represent 8% of the firm’s current shares outstanding, it would only represent 3.8 days of its three month ADV, given its strong liquidity.
  • Given that it isn’t the first time the GoI has sold its stake in IRCON, the selldown here should be expected, in our view.

Entero Healthcare Pre-IPO – Has Been Scaling up Rapidly Aided by a Flurry of Acquisitions

By Clarence Chu

  • Entero Healthcare Solutions Limited (2294842D IN) is looking to raise US$200m in its upcoming India IPO. The IPO will consist of both a primary and secondary component.
  • Entero Healthcare Solutions (Entero) is a healthcare products distributor in India.
  • In this note, we look at the company’s past performance.

Zomato Placement – SVF’s Overhang Will Be Lifted Post-Deal, Momentum on the Stock Remains Strong

By Clarence Chu

  • Softbank Group (9984 JP) is looking to raise US$135m from selling its remaining stake in Zomato (ZOMATO IN).
  • Since receiving shares from Zomato’s acquisition of 91% of Blinkit’s outstanding shares, Softbank has been busy trimming its stake in Zomato. The stake sale now will be a cleanup one.
  • Representing just 1.2 days of Zomato’s three month ADV, the deal here would be easily digested by the firm.

UBTech Robotics Pre-IPO – PHIP Updates – Trying to Outrun Its Cash Burn

By Ethan Aw

  • UBTech Robotics (1683374D HK) is looking to raise about US$200m in its upcoming HK IPO, after downsizing from an earlier reported float of up to US$700m.
  • UBTech Robotics is engaged in artificial intelligence (AI)-empowered robotics in China, dedicated to the innovation of humanoid robots and development and sales of smart service robotic solutions.
  • We have looked at the company’s past performance in our previous note. In this note, we talk about its PHIP updates.
