Oversubscription
Midea’s IPO saw very strong demand from global investors, with the offering being oversubscribed by 4.3 times. This strong demand underscores the appeal of the stock to both local and international investors.
Market Impact
The successful IPO of Midea is expected to bolster market sentiment in Hong Kong, potentially paving the way for more significant IPOs in the future. According to Bloomberg Intelligence, the positive performance of Midea could lead to a better overall environment for upcoming initial public offerings (IPOs).
Broader Implications
Midea’s successful debut could open the door for other high-profile companies to pursue IPOs in Hong Kong. Notably, ride-hailing company Didi Global Inc., which was forced to delist from the New York Stock Exchange, and S.F. Holding, currently listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, are among those considering listings. This could create a positive feedback loop for the Hong Kong Exchange (HKEx), with potential benefits for its stock (388 HK).
