Woori Financial Placement – While the Overhang Remains, the Deal Would Be Easily Digested

By Clarence Chu

  • IMM PE, via Obis1, is looking to raise US$136m from selling a portion of its stake in Woori Financial Group (316140 KS).
  • While the deal doesn’t look particularly well-flagged, the PE has been invested for quite some time now. 
  • Despite the overhang, the deal is a small one to digest at just 1.7% of total shares outstanding, representing 5 days of the firm’s ADV.

Pre-IPO TYK Medicines – Survival Risk Is Imminent, with Limited Highlights in the Pipeline

By Xinyao (Criss) Wang

  • Among core/key products, TY-302 and TY-2136b have to face fierce competition, with R&D progress lagging behind competing products.TY-9591 for brain metastases from NSCLC could be a breakthrough point for TYK.
  • There would be a long time for the first product to generate revenue, but TYK is cash shortage.So, the survival risk is high. Such companies are less attractive to investors.
  • Valuation of TYK after six rounds of financing was RMB3.08 billion. However, considering the weak sentiment and concerns on pipeline, valuation of TYK after IPO could fall below this level.
