By Clarence Chu

  • Adani Wilmar (6596700Z IN) raised around US$500m in its India IPO.

By Arun George

  • GoGoX Holdings (GOGO HK) is a major online intra-city logistics platform in Asia. It is pre-marketing an HKEx IPO to raise US$200 million, according to press reports.   
  • The fundamentals are unattractive as intensifying competition is pressuring growth, increasing losses and spurring cash burn.   
  • As the losses and cash burn is expected to persist over the next three years, we would give the IPO a pass.
