马来西亚最大药房连锁 Big Caring 推进上市：三家投行承销 2.676 亿股散户部分
据路透社 10 月 14 日报道，马来西亚最大的药房连锁运营商 Big Caring 集团当天表示，已就其计划中的首次公开募股（IPO）与三家本地银行签署散户承销协议。马来亚银行投资银行（Maybank Investment Bank）、兴业投资银行（RHB Investment Bank）与大马投资银行（AmInvestment Bank）承诺承销 2.676 亿股面向散户发行的股份。
报道称，Big Caring 计划在本次上市中最多发行 19 亿股，约占公司股本的 25.5%，其中大部分将分配给机构投资者。该公司由总部位于吉隆坡的私募股权公司 Creador 支持，目前在马来西亚经营668 家门店。
Big Caring 表示，其税后利润已从 2023 财年的 4120 万林吉特增至 2026 财年的 2.318 亿林吉特。根据该公司今年 4 月提交的招股书，上市募集资金将用于偿还银行借款并设立一座新的配送中心。路透社指出，此次 IPO 正值东南亚医疗健康资产因收入上升与人口老龄化而吸引更多投资者兴趣之际。今年 3 月，双威医疗（Sunway Healthcare）募资 28.6 亿林吉特（约合 7.0081 亿美元），创下马来西亚九年来最大规模上市纪录。（报道所用汇率为 1 美元兑 4.0810 林吉特。）
Malaysian Pharmacy Group Big Caring Signs Retail Underwriting Deal Ahead of IPO
Malaysia's largest pharmacy chain operator Big Caring Group said on Wednesday it has signed a retail underwriting agreement with three local banks for its planned initial public offering, Reuters reported on October 14. Maybank Investment Bank, RHB Investment Bank and AmInvestment Bank have committed to underwrite the retail offering of 267.6 million shares.
Big Caring plans to offer up to 1.9 billion shares, or about a 25.5% stake, for the listing, with the majority allocated to institutional investors. Backed by Kuala Lumpur-based private equity firm Creador, the company currently operates 668 stores across Malaysia.
The company said its profit after tax grew to 231.8 million ringgit in fiscal 2026, from 41.2 million ringgit in fiscal 2023. In a prospectus filed in April, Big Caring said proceeds from the listing would be used to repay bank borrowings and establish a new distribution centre.
The planned IPO comes as healthcare assets in Southeast Asia attract growing investor interest, supported by rising incomes and ageing populations. In March, Sunway Healthcare raised 2.86 billion ringgit ($700.81 million) in Malaysia's largest listing in nine years. ($1 =4.0810 ringgit.)
