Key Takeaways:
Chinese payment device maker Sunmi Technology (商米) has applied for an initial public offering on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, seeking to issue 42.6 million shares at a price of HK$24.86 per share.
According to the company's filing with the exchange, the offering is set to raise approximately HK$1.06 billion ($135 million). The company plans to list on the Main Board.
The filing did not disclose details regarding cornerstone investors, oversubscription ratios, or a specific breakdown for the use of proceeds. Lead underwriters for the transaction were also not named in the preliminary documents.
A successful listing would provide Sunmi with significant capital for growth and expansion. The stock's performance will be a key test of investor appetite for new technology listings in Hong Kong's currently uncertain market climate.
The proposed pricing gives the company a valuation that will be closely watched against peers in the point-of-sale and payments hardware sector. First-day trading on April 29 will provide the first major test of institutional and retail demand for the stock.
