IPO“库存不足”

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the significant reduction in the number of IPOs in the A-share market, transitioning from a backlog to a situation of insufficient inventory, indicating a shift in the IPO landscape in China [2][4]. Group 1: IPO Inventory and Trends - As of March 2, 2024, there are only 203 companies waiting for IPO approval in the A-share market, with nearly half of them (94 companies) in the Beijing Stock Exchange [2]. - The number of companies undergoing IPO review has sharply decreased, attributed to both a reduction in new applications and stricter regulatory scrutiny [4]. - In 2023, the number of companies that withdrew or had their IPO applications terminated reached a historical high, with 430 companies ceasing their review processes [4]. Group 2: Acceleration of IPO Processes - The IPO review and registration processes have accelerated significantly, with some projects moving through the system in as little as eight working days [5]. - Notable examples include Zhongce Rubber, which registered just eight working days after submitting its application, and Hanbang Technology, which also experienced rapid processing times [5]. - Companies that had been stuck in the registration phase for years, such as Yingshi Innovation, are now seeing progress, with 17 companies receiving approval from the CSRC this year, 12 of which had been waiting for over a year [6]. Group 3: Current IPO Landscape - The majority of companies currently under review are from previous years, with only 11 out of 72 being new applications from 2024 [7]. - Some companies, like Wuhan Heyuan Biotechnology and Shanghai Hengrun Biological Technology, have been in the review process since 2022 without achieving profitability, indicating challenges for newer applicants [7]. Group 4: Encouragement for IPO Applications - There are rumors of relaxed IPO restrictions, with suggestions that the exchanges may have reopened the application channels for unprofitable companies [9]. - However, these rumors have not been officially confirmed, and there has been no recent communication from regulatory bodies encouraging new applications [10][12]. - The regulatory environment remains stringent, with increased scrutiny and a higher percentage of on-site inspections for IPO applications, making it challenging for companies to apply unless they are exceptionally well-prepared [12][14].
