大陆禁止的电影ag游戏接口TencentQQbacked WeDoctor reportedly to raise at least $700 mln in Hong Kong IPO
Industry insiders also pointed out that WeDoctor intends to improve its evaluation for the Hong Kong IPO at a time when the COVID-19 outbreak disrupted traditional healthcare services and boosted the online medical service sector.
When reached by media, WeDoctor said currently there is no information to be disclosed on the IPO.
An insider close to WeDoctor disclosed that the company had just finished a 50-million-U.S. dollar equity transaction at the above-mentioned evaluation, where one of WeDoctors investors bought its shares from another early investor.
Zhao Heng, founder of medical consulting company Latitude Health, commented that WeDoctor didnt get listed mostly because it iled to nail down a sustainable profiting model.
Public data shows online medical consultations on the third-party medical services platform increased by over 20 times year on year during the pandemic.
In 2022, WeDoctor announced the plan to spin off its businesses for an IPO on the A and H-share markets separately. The rumor of its IPO never ceased in the following two years.
WeDoctor has been crowned as one of the biggest online healthcare unicorn companies in China, and obtained investments from Tencent, Fosun Pharma (02196.HK) and others in 2014 and 2022.
Trading at such an evaluation before IPO is quite unusual. Its apparent that investors have disagreements on the prospect of the listing, said the insider.
If WeDoctor successfully debut in Hong Kong this time, it would be easier for the company to raise money for expansion, Zhao added.
Reports revealed that WeDoctor kept loss- from 2022 to 2022. Similarly, Ping An Good Doctor and Alibaba-backed AliHealth (00241.HK) also iled to be profitable from 2022 to 2022.

The IPO would value the medical firm at around 5.5 billion U.S. dollars, which basically equals the valuation in its last funding round in May, 2022, according to the Tuesday report by news outlet Caixin.
