From Private to Public
Use a total solution to drive a successful IPO
A cloud-managed service provider preparing to go public engaged QIC for our capital market advisory services. We assisted the company in developing a compelling investment thesis, completing a pre-IPO fundraising and bringing in high-quality global investors, and introducing sell-side analysts, and establishing relationships with potential post-IPO investors, to ensure a successful IPO.
Client Challenge
A lack of investors who understand the industry; limited experience in engaging with global investors
The company operates in a nascent industry that is relatively unfamiliar to the capital markets. In the past, there has been no company with a similar business model that has gone public globally, and there is a lack of investors in the market who understand the industry. Consequently, it is difficult for the company to enhance its valuation.
Additionally, the management team has no previous experience in engaging with global investors, and they aim to gradually establish effective communication with global investors during the pre-IPO and IPO stages. Their goal is to attract high-quality global investors, creating and maintaining long-term shareholder value.
The QIC Advantage
Comprehensive capital market advisory services
QIC provided comprehensive capital market advisory services to the company, guiding the company toward a successful IPO. Our services include:
- Develop a compelling investment thesis to guide the capital market on how to evaluate the company’s position in an emerging industry, and enhance the company’s valuation
- Complete fundraising during the pre-IPO stage when it was listed on the Emerging Stock Board, bringing in high-quality global investors and accelerating the company's growth with the funding
- Introduce sell-side analysts and leverage QIC's exclusive CRM system to connect with target investors, establishing long-term relationships with potential post-IPO investors and ensuring a successful IPO
Results
Raised the company’s profile in the capital market, combined with increased valuation
Our capital market advisory services utilize a compelling equity story to transform target investors into long-term shareholders and enhance the company's valuation, enabling it to accelerate its growth with more resources. Within three years of its listing on the Emerging Stock Board, the company’s market cap has increased by multiple times, with FINI holding increasing by over 16 percentage points. We also completed a fundraising during this period, bringing in investors including a sovereign fund and one of the world's largest investment management institutions. Additionally, three sell-side analysts from foreign brokers issued visit notes when the company was listed on the Emerging Stock Board, with one of them issuing an initiation report after the company went public.
