Asymchem Labs A/H Listing Early look

Asymchem Laboratories (AL) aims to raise around US$1-1.5bn in its H-share listing in Hong Kong.

AL is a provider of outsourced pharmaceutical development and manufacturing solutions and services. AL provides process development and manufacturing services for small molecule drugs throughout the preclinical, clinical and commercial stages. According to Frost & Sullivan, it is the fifth largest drug substance contract development manufacturing organization (CDMO) globally, and the largest China-based commercial stage chemical drug CDMO, as measured by 2020 revenue.

As the A-shares are already listed and well covered, we will treat this listing more like a placement rather than an IPO. However, given the size of the listing, we will go into more details than we would for a regular placement. Hence, in this note we will briefly cover the company’s background and recent performance before touching upon the deal dynamics.
