JS Global (JS 环球生活) Re-IPO - Little Upside After Applying Holding Company Discount

JS Global Lifestyle (1691 HK) (JSG) is looking to raise US$331m in its Hong Kong IPO. JSG's previous attempt in October was pulled just three days before the listing date, citing unfavorable conditions.

The new deal terms (fixed price at HK$5.20 per share) implied a price cut of about 6% from the bottom end of the previous IPO price range. The company has also managed to secure two cornerstone investors.

Our updated SOTP valuation, assuming holding company discount of 20%, implies that there is only upside of 2.1% from the IPO price.

Furthermore, there are still fundamental issues that do not sit well with us which the company’s odd corporate structure, no visible synergy from acquisition of SharkNinja, and its pre-IPO dividend of US$470m which is partially funded by the IPO proceeds.
