China’s Didi valued at $107.6 billion in mega US IPO as shares soar

BENGALURU (REUTERS) - China's Didi Global shares soared nearly 19 per cent in their New York Stock Exchange debut on Wednesday, valuing the ride-hailing giant at US$80 billion (S$107.6 billion) in the biggest US listing by a Chinese company since 2014. SoftBank-backed Didi's stock opened at US$16.65, compared with the initial public offering price of US$14 per share. It had priced an upsized offering of 316.8 million American Depositary Shares at the upper end of its US$13 to US$14 range, raising US$4.4 billion. Morgan Stanley Investment Management had indicated interest in subscribing up to US$750 million worth of stock in Didi's IPO and Singapore's Temasek Holdings US$500 million. Didi's listing in New York will be the biggest US share sale by a Chinese company since Alibaba raised US$25 billion in 2014. The biggest Chinese listing in the United States so far this year was Full Truck Alliance, often referred to as "Uber for trucks", which raised US$1.6 billion. Didi, which is also backed by technology investment giants Alibaba, Tencent and Uber, was founded in 2012 by chief executive Cheng Wei as Didi Dache, a taxi-hailing app. It merged with peer Kuaidi Dache to become Didi Kuai...

Indonesia close to IPO overhaul to lure mega tech listings like Bukalapak, GoTo

JAKARTA (BLOOMBERG) - Indonesia is close to finalising a sweeping revamp of listing rules, paving the way for South-east Asian start-up giants from Bukalapak.com to ride-hailing leader GoTo to go public from August. The authorities are finalising details of new regulations that will allow firms to go public with multiple classes of shares carrying different voting rights, said Mr Pandu Sjahrir, a commissioner at the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). They will also relax curbs on loss-making firms, among other changes. Online marketplace Bukalapak will become the first unicorn to take advantage of the new regime and list around August, he said. GoTo, the country's biggest tech start-up, valued at US$18 billion (S$24 billion), should follow soon after, he said in an interview. From Hong Kong to London, stock exchanges around the world are trying to capture a slice of a global initial public offering (IPO) boom. Indonesia joins its fellow bourses in relaxing regulations to entice often loss-making but highly sought-after fast-growth start-ups. Bukalapak is going public as South-east Asia's start-up scene matures and investors seek exits: The region's most valuable private firm, Grab Hol...

Tribunal award ordering Nop Narongdej payment to Nopporn Suppipat reversed by Singapore Court of Appeal

BANGKOK, Jun 30, 2021 - (ACN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - The Singapore Court of Appeal has rendered the final decision absolving Nop Narongdej of obligation to make compound payments for the purchase of shares in Wind Energy Holding (WEH), on the grounds that the ICC Tribunal award was made in excess of jurisdiction.Mr Pokpak Thongbhakdee, attorney-at-law for FBLP, the legal counsel for the case, reports that the Singapore Court of Appeal revoked the ICC's Arbitral Tribunal decision ordering Fullerton Bay Investment Limited (Fullerton) and KPN Energy Holding Co., Ltd. (KPNEH), both under Mr Nop, to pay 'Remaining Amounts' and 'Compound Interest' under an agreement to purchase shares in Wind Energy Holding Group (WEH), then held by Mr Nopporn Suppipat's companies. The Tribunal order amounted to USD525 million plus interest as well as the costs of the arbitration. The Singapore Court of Appeal ruling is binding. In a complex ruling, the Court of Appeal found the Tribunal without authority to deliberate matters of Compounded Payments and therefore the decision on the Remaining Amounts has no legal effect. The Tribunal decision ordering Fullerton and KPNEH to pay arbitration costs wa...

S&P 500 ends at record, up more than 8% in 2nd quarter

NEW YORK (AFP) - The S&P 500 finished with another record on Wednesday (June 30), concluding a winning quarter as investors weigh optimism over the reopening economy against worries over the latest Covid-19 trends. The broad-based index climbed 0.1 per cent to 4,297.50, a fifth straight record close that lifted its overall gain for the quarter to more than 8 per cent. And it is up more than 14 per cent for the first half of 2021. The Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped 0.6 per cent to end at 34,502.51, while the tech-rich Nasdaq Composite Index retreated from Tuesday's record, falling 0.2 per cent to 14,503.95. The latest records have come on the heels of mostly solid economic data in recent weeks that show how widespread availability of coronavirus vaccines has transformed the global outlook compared with a year ago. Private US firms added 692,000 jobs in June, according to payroll services firm ADP. The figures were a big drop from May, but well above economists' expectations and bode well for the key government employment report Friday. Other recent reports have shown strong consumer confidence and rising home prices, while corporate earnings have also won cheers, with large ban...

日本“爆款”风靡中国 幕后推手优趣汇登陆港交所

HONG KONG, Jun 30, 2021 - (亚太商讯 via SEAPRWire.com) - 近日,中国领先品牌电商运营服务商——优趣汇控股(2177)正式启动招股,有机会成为继宝尊电商(9991)之后香港资本市场第二家品牌电商上市企业。翻查招股书发现,优趣汇是紧随天猫国际成立后首批开展跨境进口品牌电子商务服务企业之一,在品牌电商领域积累丰富的经验,已经建立较深的竞争壁垒。但与宝尊电商不同的是,优趣汇专注于日本快速消费品领域,并做到该领域龙头,是国内日本快消费品频出“爆款”的幕后推手。日本快消品“爆款”出圈 优趣汇成长路径清晰日本快消品凭借良好的质量和口碑,在消费升级的国内大环境下赢得中国消费者的青睐。从资生堂美妆、小林洗眼液到苏菲裸感卫生巾一个个“爆款”涌现,内地热门社交平台小红书关于“资生堂”“小林”“苏菲”等关键词的使用笔记多达100万篇。这些日用品围绕女性生活的方方面面,成为都市女性的时尚象征,更代表着一种品质生活的追求,这使得日本成为跨境进口在线零售市场前五大原产国中年增长率最高的国家。自2014年起电商行业在中国掀起“造富”神话,根据国家统计局公布数据,2016-2020年间全国网上零售额从5.15万亿增长到了11.8万亿,复合增幅保持在10%以上,电商市场焕发出强劲的生命力。其中跨境电商表现尤为突出。有益于国人消费升级和消费内生循环的政策号召,前瞻产业研究院数据指出,跨境电商市场规模在2019年突破10万亿大关,并且进入稳健增长期。受益于日本快消品在中国的风靡,优趣汇抓住市场红利,实现公司的快速成长。招股书显示,优趣汇于2018年-2020年的收入分别为25.4亿、27.8亿、28.0亿。值得注意的是,公司毛利润在2020年录得8.7亿元,经2018-2020年财务数据统计,公司毛利润年均符合增长率(CARG)达到20.6%;同时毛利率也取得显著改善,从2018年-2020年,毛利润分别为24.3%、28.9%及31.7%。不断改善的毛利和毛利率为公司不断增强抗风险能力,在竞争激烈的电商领域能够行稳致远。然而,优趣汇仍未实现盈利引发市场担忧。招股书显示,公司亏损主要来自优先股公允价值变动的影响,这意味着亏损的金额来源于发行优先股导致的“账面增值”的增加,是会计准则计量意义上的变动,并非来自公司主体业绩的滑落,不影响公司长期向好的基本面。流水不争先,争得是滔滔不绝。 相信随着电商市场规模的持续扩展和消费升级带来的跨境消费品快速增长,优趣汇的业绩增长在一条朝阳赛道上具有高成长性和高确定性。日本快消品领域头部玩家 券商指将在马太效应中受益优趣汇以卓越的前瞻性成为国内较早成立的美妆代运营公司之一,更是首批在天猫国际开展跨境进口品牌电子商务服务业务的企业之一,乘着电商消费的东风,优趣汇认准日本快消品领域取得跨越式发展,建立较深的护城河。根据灼...
