VinFast IPO Preview – Too Big to Fail In Vietnam

By Douglas Kim

  • VinFast Auto (“VinFast”) is getting ready to complete its IPO on Nasdaq in January 2023.
  • We are cautious on the IPO of VinFast. Timing is awful and investors have slashed share prices of the company’s comps in the past year. 
  • The fact that the company is trying to hurry up to complete this IPO in early 2023 suggests that there could be some bigger concerns about long-term financing of VinFast.

By Clarence Chu

  • Seazen (Formerly Future Land) (1030 HK) is looking to raise US$175m from its top-up placement.
  • The deal is a relatively small one at just 9.5 days of three month ADV and 4.9% of current mcap.
  • In this note, we will run the deal through our ECM framework and talk about the recent updates.
