Indonesia’s latest tech IPO sees the owners of eCommerce firm, Blibli, raise approx. US$515m - Sumeet Singh’s pre-IPO analysis revealed no clear signs of profitability improving. Not to mention the lack of synergies across its offerings. He believes the stock will have a similar fate as GoTo, which is trading well below its IPO price and is likely to go even lower when its lock-up expires later this month. Based on Sumeet’s estimates, Blibli should be trading at least 50% below its IPO price.

Indonesia's biggest tech firm set to raise $1.25bn in local IPO ahead of US listing later this year - GoTo was formed in May 2021 following a merger between two of Indonesia’s largest unicorns Gojek (ride hailing) and Tokopedia (e-commerce). In 2021, GoTo had 2m+ drivers, 11m MSME sellers, 100m+ MAU and accounted for 2% of the national economy. The combined entity has been registering decent growth, but profitability remains less than optimal, to put it mildly. GoTo will have to trade well ahead of local and international peers to justify its desired valuation, something that Sumeet Singh is not convinced that it will manage to do.
