XD Inc. (心动有限公司) Pre-IPO - TapTap, overseas markets, and thoughts on valuation

XD Inc. (XD HK), an international game developer and operator in China, is looking to raise about US$200m in its upcoming IPO in Hong Kong.

Aside from developing and publishing games, XD operates a game platform called TapTap. We think that TapTap, at its core, is a game distribution platform even though XD is positioning it as a social platform that connects gamers with developers and allow gamers to recommend, review and discuss games. As a game distribution platform, the company has little competitive advantage over larger competitors like Tencent My App and Huawei App Market.
