Re: Tibet Pharma

Hola, Solrac
En cuanto a los fundamentales, si fuera una biotech te diría "olvídalo, con ratios de utility es que, de cara a futuro, está muerta...". Pero, sinceramente, aunque algo entiendo del mundo farma, del mercado de la farmacopea tibetana en China, ni pum.
Si se la hubieran cargado, aparte de que no parece, sería aún más absurdo querer recomprar el free-float. Que ni siquiera es tanto, un 20%. Eso sí, la estructura de control accionarial es compleja (estos chinos han aprendido capitalismo avanzado en un plis-plas). Para no aburrir más de la cuenta ni a tí ni a los demás foreros, quien tenga interés y MUCHA paciencia (yo he empezado, pero se me ha acabado enseguida) en www.nasdaq.com/symbol/tbet/sec-filings están todos los documentos oficiales presentados a la SEC. Salvo que algún experto nos de una opinión más autorizada, el más relevante me parece el "424B3", que es el prospecto completo de la IPO.

En cuanto al 2º párrafo, dado que el free-float es tan bajo, el 80% es ya autocartera. Si no quisieran llamar la atención comprando, lo dicho: media docena de testaferros cursando órdenes a través de distintos brokers, y la recuperan a precio de saldo. Pero no es cuestión de quejarse porque alguien, por una vez, actúe de forma honrada y transparente...

Además, hay que considerar que la mentalidad de los orientales -y profesionalmente he tratado con bastantes- es otro misterio insondable para los occidentales.

Otra de "cosas veredes, amigo Sancho..." pero con chinos y ambientada en Shangri-La

Tibet Pharmaceuticals: The Next China Stock That Is Going Private

On January 30, Seeking Alpha contributor Markus Aarnio already wrote an article entitled Tibet Pharmaceuticals Trading Below Net Cash. Tibet Pharmaceuticals (TBET) is the next one that's going private. Last week the company announced a non-binding proposal letter, as you can read in its latest press release:

its Board of Directors has received a non-binding proposal letter from its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Hong Yu ("Mr. Yu"), for Mr. Yu to acquire all of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock not currently owned by Mr. Yu, in a going private transaction for $3.00 per share in cash subject to certain conditions. According to the proposal letter, the acquisition is intended to be financed with a combination of debt and equity capital to be secured by Mr. Yu. Mr. Yu currently beneficially owns approximately 22.1% of TBET's common stock.

Many U.S. listed Chinese companies have their eye on going private, with a growing number of such transactions having closed recently. This is the combined result of the current weakness of the U.S. capital markets, significant losses in the value of many U.S. listed Chinese companies, and pessimistic market forecasts that have resulted in trading at values below what controlling shareholders, management or private equity firms may think certain companies are worth.

The United States is no longer the perfect honeymoon for Chinese companies that want to connect with Westerners. Going private seems to be the only solution for many U.S.-listed China companies. The enormous compliance costs associated with being listed in America are a heavy burden for these companies, especially if a U.S. listing doesn't give anything back. Trading and liquidity for many smaller companies is low, and the legal environment is quite different than in mainland China.

Low trading can be explained partly by the lack of attention Western analysts pay to Chinese businesses, particularly smaller ones from lesser-known sectors. When liquidity isn't good, it's difficult for Chinese companies to obtain further funding from the stock market.

A company's depressed market price and valuation is one of the reasons to go private. In the case of Tibet Pharmaceuticals, it is trading under cash value per share ($1.75) and a P/E below 3. As mentioned in two of my former articles (US-Listed China Stocks Vulnerable To Management Buy-Outs and Going Private Or Going Dark Opportunities And Risks For US-Listed China Stocks), there are several ways a company decides to go private.

Some of the reasons why Chinese companies may go private:

* To save costs. There are considerable costs associated with being listed on a U.S. exchange, including ongoing regulatory compliance and defending against shareholder lawsuits and other litigation.
* Strategic business reasons and the ability to manage the company. Private companies are not required to publicly disclose competitive information, are provided more flexible corporate governance, and can focus on business objectives rather than investor relations issues and the short-term pressures of appeasing shareholders.
* The ability to realize value. Going private may allow shareholders to realize a better price for their shares than they would otherwise realize from continuing to hold the shares or selling them on an exchange. Further, companies may go public because analysts consider a company's share valuations to be low when compared to what the company could generate from other equity markets such as Hong Kong or Mainland China.

Final Note
After Harbin Electric and China Security & Surveillance, Tibet Pharmaceuticals is another example of a U.S. listed China company leaving the U.S. Capital Markets. Investors who can snap up shares of undervalued companies that trade lower than their cash value per share, such as Tibet Pharmaceuticals does, could benefit from the current disconnect many U.S. listed China stocks have with fair value or take-over value. This makes these companies attractive for management teams or private equity funds.

Re: Tibet Pharma

Vamos a animar el cotarro Jorge.

En seekingalpha veo a un analista que dice ir largo con ella. En fin, parece estabilizada en 1.50. ¿Qué tal ves las vibraciones por Shangri-La?

Re: Tibet Pharma

Ja, ja... es mi particular "tibetavex" :D
Sólo que aquí, no se cuándo, pero espero casi doblar (las tengo como a $1,6). A ver si el Mr. Capital, digo, el Mr. Yu de los c... se "retrata" de una vez, que está siendo un malqueda.
Se supone que han creado un sub-board "independiente" para responder sobre su oferta, pero ya expliqué que, según mis averiguaciones (+ alguna reseña) no tiene sólo el 22,1% de los votos (esos son "directos") sino casi el 67%, via su participación en YSTP (cuyos accionistas tienen, en conjunto, el 93% de TBET -esquema anexo-). Hasta Junio 2011 había un tal Mr. Taylor Z. Guo que era CEO y salía con un paquetón de acciones, pero tiene toda la pinta de haber sido un mero testaferro. Desde Junio '11 el tal Mr. Yu es CEO, Chairman del Board, vamos, "el p... amo"
Lo único que aún me mosquea es que $3 eran más de 4 veces el valor de mercado (cotizaba a $0,72) antes de la oferta... ¡hala, con un par! Con haber ofrecido $1+, como mucho $2, se la hubiera llevado igual; y no vaya a ser que ahora, con la cabeza más fría, se de cuenta y de instrucciones al respecto al sub-board, o busque cualquier otra salida más económica. Pero aquí, ni DD ni leches, el "cash value" son $1,75, y de ahí no creo que pueda bajar un pelo (en realidad, si quiere seguir pudiendo visitar los EEUU, o suelta los 3$ o le organizan un "comité de bienvenida" permanente, con traslado al juzgado más próximo incluído, que se c...)
Resumiendo, lo mismo que no me salgo, si alguien se apunta y nos hacemos "compañía", pues se agradece la solidaridad. Sigo pensando que hay un 80-90% de probabilidades de doblar en unos meses, bastante a lo tonto... y casi nulas de perder pasta; la única duda es cuándo.
