If the company succeeds in getting the highest price of the proposed price range, its total valuation will increase to $1.9 billion. It is important to note that the cornerstone investors—those who commit to purchasing a large portion of the shares before the IPO—have already subscribed to buy approximately $109 million worth of shares from this offering.

According to data from London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG), the value of new share sales has decreased in Hong Kong. The data suggests that sales dropped from $2.12 billion for the first six months of 2023 to only $1.46 billion for the first half of 2024. The report notes that lower sales could be a potential trigger for new IPOs. 
According to the report, investors remain confident despite weaker market performance in Hong Kong. Asset managers are expecting an increase in approvals from Chinese regulators. They are also eyeing a surge in Indian deals that will transform Asia into an equity capital hub by the end of 2024.
