Aequitas Research puts out a weekly update on the deals that have been covered by Smartkarma Insight Providers recently, along with updates for upcoming IPOs.
Happy belated birthday to Singapore!
Capital markets in Asia have been fairly quiet. We have two new filings in Hong Kong, Venus Medtech and Poly Property Development, to keep us busy for the time being. This week, we penned down our thoughts on Huali University Group (HUG HK) which we heard is launching its IPO this month.
We also shared our two-part report of 1H 2019 analytics on Hong Kong IPOs.
In India, however, the two upcoming IPOs are not looking up based on their respective subscription rate. Spandana Sphoorty Financial (SSFL IN) was only 1.05x covered while Sterling & Wilson Solar (SWSL IN) did not get enough demand for its book. The latter's institutional tranche was only subscribed 1.02x, the high-net-worth investor tranche 89% and the retail portion 30%.
In the US, AMTD International (HKIB US)'s debut was strong despite of the corporate governance issues that we have pointed out earlier. We think that the float is tightly held as shown through the poor liquidity after its debut.
9F Inc (JFG US) launched its bookbuild on Friday and Ke Yan, CFA, FRM has already covered the IPO in:
Our overall accuracy rate is 72.4% for IPOs and 64.4% for Placements
