SUMMARY

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.

This will be the third week in a row we are saying: there are more IPOs coming in Hong Kong!Momentum seems to be holding up as we head into the end of Q2. First off, there will be 4 IPOs starting to trade throughout next week. Mulsanne Group Holding Ltd (1817 HK) will debut first on Monday.

This would be interesting to watch because the IPO utilized the new pricing mechanism in Hong Kong to price its IPO below the bottom end of its indicated price range rather than withdraw and refile. This mechanism reminds us of the pricing flexibility of US IPOs wherein companies could price below its indicative price range to ensure that it performs well on its debut despite poor demand during bookbuild. Xinyi Energy Holdings Ltd (3868 HK), Frontage Holdings (1521 HK), and MabPharm (2181 HK) will trade on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday respectively.

For upcoming bookbuilds, Tai Hing (1719303D HK) and China Tobacco International (GHALPZ CH) have filed their PHIP this week and will be likely be opening their books next week. We are also hearing that CSSC Hong Kong Shipping Co Ltd (0931049D CH) and China East Education (EASTEDU HK) will open books on Monday while Hansoh Pharmaceutical (HANSOH HK) will be on Tuesday.

IPO activity in other countries have been fairly muted. Eagle Hospitality Trust (EAGLEHT SP) finally started trading in Singapore. Its share price closed 6% down as the IPO was undersubscribed. We will leave the updates on the IPO to Sumeet Singh on Monday.

In the U.S, GSX Techedu (GSX US) will launch its book next week while Meten (MEDU US) which just filed its US$100m IPO with the SEC will be premarketing next week.

Our overall accuracy rate is 72.4% for IPOs and 63.9% for Placements
