Green Tea Eyes Hong Kong IPO Amid Economic Slowdown
Green Tea, the budget-dining restaurant chain from mainland China, has received approval for its initial public offering (IPO) from the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. This represents the company's fifth attempt in four years to secure a public listing. The funding from this IPO will support efforts to expand its restaurant network and upgrade essential infrastructure.
Background on Green Tea's IPO Journey
- Founded in 2008, the restaurant chain has expanded to 489 establishments across more than two dozen cities.
- Despite capturing interest in markets post-COVID-19, Green Tea's sales exhibited a decline in 2024.
- The company's recent challenges stem from altered consumer behavior amid the economic climate.
Financial Outlook and Future Plans
- Green Tea aims to utilize the IPO proceeds for establishing a centralized food processing facility.
- They project significant growth potential despite ongoing economic challenges.
Green Tea's initial aspirations began in March 2021, with hopes to capitalize on improving IPO market conditions, especially following KPMG's reports indicating a surge in company listings in Hong Kong. With 15 companies raising HK$17.7 billion in early 2024, a strategic move towards public listing appears critical for Green Tea.
