CiDi IPO Valuation Analysis: High Valuation Is Warranted Due To Unicorn Status/Hyper Growth Profile
- Changsha Intelligent Driving Institute, more commonly known as CiDi, filed for an IPO in Hong Kong. The company was valued at ~RMB9B in its last private funding round.
- CiDi was backed by HongShan Capital, Xinding Capital, Founder Hesheng Investment, Legend Holdings, Baidu Venture, and Lens Technology, among others.
- The terms of the IPO were not disclosed. CiDi is a category winner that is addressing a large TAM (~$10B by 2030) with room for hyper growth for years.
Pre-IPO Mokingran Jewellery Group (PHIP Updates) – Some Points Worth the Attention
- The skyrocketing gold prices have driven up the prices of gold jewelry, but actually dampen the enthusiasm of many people to buy gold jewelry, which will directly affect MOKINGRAN’s performance.
- MOKINGRAN’s prediction of gold price is incorrect. For an industry veteran, MOKINGRAN shouldn’t make such mistakes. The error in the judgment of important raw material trends is worth investors’ vigilance.
- We think that valuation of MOKINGRAN should be lower than that of Lao Feng Xiang (600612 CH)/Chow Tai Seng Jewellery (002867 CH)/Chow Tai Fook Jewellery (1929 HK) and industry average.
