China Tourism Group A/H Listing Early look

China Tourism Group Duty Free Corporation Limited (CDF) aims to raise around US$5-10bn in its H-share listing in Hong Kong.

CDF is the largest travel retail operator in the world primarily focusing on sales of high-quality duty-free and duty-paid merchandise to domestic and international travelers. As per Frost & Sullivan, it had 92.3% market share by retail revenue in China duty-free merchandise sales in 2020.

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 large potential 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.
Underlying
