Medical company Genesis MedTech prepares for an IPO
Genesis MedTech is planning an initial public offering to raise USD 500 million. According to Bloomberg, the Singapore-based medical device company will list on the Hong Kong stock exchange. Morgan Stanley, Citic and Goldman Sachs are helping to organise the IPO. The exact date of the IPO is still unknown, but it will most likely take place in 2024. Some sources have reported that Genesis MedTech had initially planned to list in 2023 but decided to delay after assessing market conditions.
The postponement of the IPO to 2024 may be due to a drop in activity in the region’s financial sector. Bloomberg data shows that in the first six months of 2023, Asian companies raised about USD 2.9 billion by listing on the Hong Kong stock exchange. In 2022, the figure was USD 4.7 billion in the same period. At the same time, companies in Indonesia raised a total of USD 2.92 billion, although the country has always lagged behind Hong Kong in terms of IPO activity.
