Tam Jai International IPO - Favourable risk to reward at low end

Tam Jai International is looking to raise up to US$179m in its Hong Kong IPO.

Tam Jai International is a restaurant chain operator of the TamJai and SamGor branded fast casual restaurant chain in Hong Kong with operations also in Mainland China and Singapore. As of the latest practicable date (13th September 2021), the firm operated a total of 156 restaurants, comprising 79 TamJai restaurants and 77 SamGor restaurants, of which 150 were located in Hong Kong, three in Mainland China and the remaining three in Singapore. As per Euromonitor, the firm ranks No. 1 among Asian noodle specialty restaurants in Hong Kong.

Overall, the firm's earnings have been resilient despite facing setbacks in its track period (i.e. COVID-19 and the Hong Kong riots). Margins have expectedly fallen as rent expenses outpaced revenue, but the firm plans to expand overseas which if successful, would warrant a valuation closer to its higher valued China-based peers.
