Anyone looking at the $DSC (DaSouChe) IPO today? 90% Market Share + Ant Group taking half the float.
Bullish on $DSC IPO due to 90% B2B used car market share, tight float with Ant Group backing, and discounted valuation.
- Dominant 90% market share in China's B2B used car infrastructure provides a massive moat and sticky SaaS revenue.
- Extremely tight public float as Ant Group commits to buying over half of the $54M offering.
- Current $901M valuation appears heavily discounted compared to earlier private rounds backed by top-tier VCs.
Just reading through the IPO details for $DSC (DaSouChe) listing on Nasdaq, and it looks like a textbook scarcity play.
Instead of burning cash trying to sell cars to consumers, they basically built the Windows OS for used car dealers in China. Holding a more than 90% market share in B2B infrastructure gives them a massive moat and sticky SaaS revenue.
The interesting part is the float. They are raising $54M (3 million shares at $16-$18), but Ant Group has committed to buy up to $30M of it. With an institutional giant locking up more than half of the offering, the actual public float is going to be incredibly tight.
At a $901M valuation, it feels heavily discounted compared to its earlier private rounds (backed by 5Y and Primavera).
Anyone else adding this to their watchlist for the opening bell? Seems like a low-float setup with real institutional backing.
