SUMMARY

Aequitas Research puts out a weekly update on the deals that have been covered by the team recently along with updates for upcoming IPOs.

Even though equity capital markets have been fairly quiet in Asia, there had been a few interesting IPOs coming up this year.

Starting off in India, we get more information on Life Insurance Corp of India (LIC)'s mega IPO. It was reported that estimates is putting LIC's IPO at India's next financial year which is from April 2020 to March 2021 and the deal will likely raise about US$11.2bn–$14bn if one assumes that 10% stake is sold in the IPO. Regardless, it will be the largest IPO in India to date.

Aside for mega deals, we are also hearing that SBI Cards (SBICARDS IN) is looking to get regulatory approval for its IPO in the upcoming week and will likely target to list towards the end of the month or in March. Sumeet Singh has already shared his thoughts on SBI Cards' valuation.

Other India IPO early coverage:

In Hong Kong, Ke Yan, CFA, FRM covered Akeso Biopharma Inc (1495016D CH)'s IPO. The company made headlines for getting rejected by HKEX. It was reported by FT that the rejection was the result of a typo in the draft prospectus which gave a prospective listing date in the second quarter, rather than the first quarter as intended. The company has already re-filed its draft prospectus shortly after the rejection.
