Introducing the Newest Member of South Korea’s IPO Success Stories
At the recent listing ceremony of HD Hyundai Marine Solution Co. on the Korea Exchange in Seoul, employees celebrated as the ship repair company made its trading debut. The excitement was warranted as the company’s stock price surged by almost 50%, making it South Korea’s largest IPO since January 2022.
HD Hyundai Marine Solution saw its shares reach as high as 166,100 South Korean won ($121.59) per share, marking an impressive 99.1% increase from the IPO price of 83,400 won. This surge in price reflects the strong demand for the 8.9 million shares that were offered during the initial public offering, which totaled 742.26 billion won.
What sets HD Hyundai Marine Solution apart is the overwhelming investor interest it garnered, with both institutional and retail offerings oversubscribed by over 200 times combined. This level of interest speaks to the market’s confidence in the company’s growth potential and future prospects.
It’s important to note that despite the successful IPO, the parent conglomerate, HD Hyundai Group, will maintain a controlling stake in the company with a 62% ownership share. Additionally, the second-largest shareholder, KKR, plans to gradually reduce its stake from 38%.
