ZEEKR (ZK US) IPO: Valuation Insights
- ZEEKR (ZK US), a premium Chinese BEV manufacturer and a subsidiary of Geely Auto (175 HK), has launched an IPO to raise up to US$368 million.
- We previously discussed the IPO in ZEEKR IPO: The Bull Case, ZEEKR IPO: The Bear Case and ZEEKR IPO: Latest Updates as the IPO Process Restarts.
- The IPO price range values ZEEKR at a material discount to peers’ multiples. We would be inclined to participate in the IPO.
CSI300 Index Rebalance Preview: Bounce in the Potential Deletes Could Be Short Lived
- The review period for the June rebalance is complete and we expect 11 changes to the Shanghai Shenzhen CSI 300 Inde (SHSZ300 INDEX).
- We estimate one-way turnover of 1.4% at the rebalance leading to a one-way trade of CNY 8.82bn (US$1.22bn). There are a lot of stocks with multiple days ADV to trade.
- The potential deletes have bounced off their lows as the market has recovered. But the potential passive selling could see them underperform over the next month.
Mainland Connect NORTHBOUND Flows (To 30-Apr/3-May 2024): Big Volumes, Low Net; As Will Play Catchup
- The Quiddity Mainland Connect NORTHBOUND Monitor. Like the A/H Premium Monitor and HK Connect SOUTHBOUND Monitor. Lots of Flows/Position Tables and Charts with which to play.
- Last week saw NORTHBOUND net BUY RMB 2.3bn of A-shares on high gross low net volume in the two days. NORTHBOUND bought CATL, Shenzhen Mindray, some financials.
- As outperformed Hs on Monday and Tuesday (when both were open), then Hs rocketed on Thursday and Friday. As will have to catch up early in the week.
ECM Weekly (6th May 2024) – Aadhar, Indegene, TBO Tek, Super Hi, China Resources Bev, Honasa, Worley
- Aequitas Research puts out a weekly update on the deals that were covered by the team recently along with updates for upcoming IPOs.
- On the IPO front, a number of deals were launched in India, while HD Hyundai Marine Solution (443060 KS) will list in the coming week.
- On the placement front, the two deals in Australia, WorleyParsons Ltd (WOR AU) and Endeavour Group /Australia (EDV AU) delivered opposing results.
Fluence Corp Ltd – New strategy proving up
- Fluence Corporation (ASX:FLC) specialises in the delivery of water and wastewater solutions in industrial, municipal and commercial industries across the globe.
- The company released an update on Q1 performance (note: FLC has a December balance date), that clearly validates the change in group strategy away from large construction and engineering projects, and towards smaller, higher margin, proprietary solutions, with a clear push into North America.
- The company has maintained full year guidance of US$90m-$100m of revenue and EBITDA of US$3.5m-$4.0m, a positive turnaround from the EBITDA breakeven position of FY23.
