China Everbright Bank Co shares rose 18 percent on their debut in Shanghai after completing the nation's second-largest initial public offering this year, as the stock market recovers from a three-month slump. The shares advanced to 3.66 yuan (54 cents) at the close of trading from the IPO price of 3.1 yuan. Everbright Bank's gain outpaced the Agricultural Bank of China Ltd, which rose 0.8 percent on its debut in Shanghai last month after a world-record $22.1 billion IPO. [Full story]

 

Strong demand for Everbright IPO    2010-08-05

China Everbright Bank's IPO shares reserved for strategic investors have been hugely oversubscribed, signaling strong demand for the potentially $2.9 billion offering as stock markets recover.

Thirty strategic investors have committed up to 60 billion yuan ($8.86 billion) for their portion of the 6.1 billion-share offering, the bank said on Wednesday, in what could be the second-largest Chinese offering this year after Agricultural Bank of China's (ABC) $20.8 billion initial public offering last month.

"Everbright Bank is healthier than ABC by many standards and is selling much fewer shares, so if the pricing is reasonable, it would be natural for the lender to attract more interest from potential strategic investors who are often State-owned and cash-rich," said Ye Yunyan, analyst at Galaxy Securities in Beijing.

Everbright Bank gets nod for share placement

China Everbright Bank has received regulatory approval for an 11.5 billion yuan ($1.7 billion) private share placement, the bank said yesterday, moving it closer towards its initial public offering.

The lender applied in June 2008 to sell shares publicly in Shanghai, but the plan was delayed due to a 10-month nationwide IPO suspension amid a slump in domestic stock markets. The mid-sized bank said it got the green light from the China Banking Regulatory Commission to sell stakes to eight Chinese state firms, including Shanghai Chengtou Holdings Co, Guangdong Expressway Development Co, Baosteel Group, China Reinsurance Group and Shenergy Group.
