FangDD IPO (房多多) IPO - Valuation rich at low end

FangDD plans to raise up to US$105m in its upcoming IPO in the US. In our previous note, we have covered the company’s fundamentals, compared its interface with its competitors.

In our previous note, we reckoned that FangDD is lagging behind peers in terms of friendliness of interface. The key problem for online property market places like Fang DD is the authentic property listing, which only property agent networks like Lianjia can guarantee. FangDD’s close peer SFUN had tried to become a property agent network but failed badly. We also analysed the company’s financials and believe that competition has led to spread contraction for FangDD in recent quarters.

In this note, we will take a closer look at the valuation. We think FangDD is fairly valued at the low end. We would avoid the deal.
