China CAMC Engineering’s $55mn IPO, the first since the moratorium was lifted in May, was 576x and 100x oversubscribed for the retail (80%) and institutional (20%) portions, respectively. Shares begin trading on June 19.
The domestic markets in China have been on a rebound in 2006 but have given back some gains recently due to profit taking and concerns over liquidity as new IPOs flood the market

Summary: Predictions For 2006 And 2007
Chinese Companies Increasingly Looking To List Outside U.S.
– London, Hong Kong, Singapore and Tokyo represent real alternatives with less stringent listing requirements
– Hong Kong, in particular, will continue to attract Chinese IPOs given proximity to Mainland and relatively lax disclosure requirements for exchange of its size
– Growing number of Chinese technology companies below the US$300MM valuation range will choose to either list in London/Hong Kong or grow to larger scale before listing in U.S.
– Variety will continue to grow, reflecting diversity of Chinese economy
M&A Will Increasingly Be Deemed a Viable Exit Strategy
– Uncertain, volatile capital markets environment
– Will IPO valuations reflect China “premium” or “emerging market discount”?
– Realization that being public is only the “beginning”
Accelerating Cross Border M&A as China’s Global Impact Grows
– China is top strategic priority for many international firms
– Overseas investors (particularly U.S.) increasingly looking to make acquisitions and strategic investments in China – in several cases at “IPO-level” valuations!
