JD Logistics Completes US$1.1 Billion Capital Increase, Stock Falls 11 Percent

JD Logistics soars in Hong Kong debut, valuing it at $36 billion

China’s JD Logistics priced new shares issued on Friday (25 March) in a US$1.1 billion (about RM4.64 billion) capital increase at a steep discount to their previous close, triggering a slump in its stock early in the Hong Kong trading session.

According to a Hong Kong Stock Exchange filing, JD Logistics priced the shares at HK$20.71 each, a discount of about 10% to Thursday’s closing price, to raise HK$8.53 billion (US$1.09 billion or about RM4.6 billion) on Friday. The stock fell by up to 11% on Friday in early trade to HK$20.35.

The deal consisted of a placement of about US$700 million worth of shares to its parent company JD.com, and about US$400 million in a primary share sale, according to filings.

It was the first follow-on share sale in Hong Kong since 21 February, and the biggest since Sunac China carried out a US$580 milllion top-up placement in early January.

It was also the third-largest follow-on deal in Asia and fifth globally this year, according to Refinitiv data.

The share sale came despite ongoing volatility in regional equities markets, with Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index down 6.5 percent this year.

The top 15 investors who bid during the book-building were allocated 80 percent of the stock that was on offer, according to a source with direct knowledge of the matter, who declined to be identified because he was not authorised to discuss the deal.

JD.com did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the deal’s composition.

JD Logistics said it would use the money raised to help fund potential acquisitions and build up its cash reserves.
