Food and Beverage: IPOs

El sector de los alimentos y bebidas o «food & beverage» es un tanto diferente a los sectores que hemos venido analizando estos últimos posts, los cuales han resultado ser, generalmente, sectores emergentes e innovadores.  No obstante, como ya se comentó en el anterior post, el de la alimentación también es un sector en constante crecimiento, debido a la tecnología y la aparición de nuevos modelos de negocio.

Una muestra de que el sector  «food & beverage» no es , a diferencia de otros sectores analizados, un sector incipiente es el número de IPOs que se observan, lo que se traduce en que estamos ante un sector con una cierta trayectoria. 

NOT A NEW BUT GROWING SECTOR

Debemos recordar que el sector «food & beverage» recoge todas aquellas empresas dedicadas al transportreception, storage, processing, preservation, and service of food and, thanks to technological progress, the development of this industry has accelerated in recent years.

Since 2010, the trend in the sector has been clearly upwards and in terms of funding, 2018 saw an all-time high, with an aggregate investment of USD 10.6 billion in just one year. In addition, several IPOs (Initial Public Offering) or global IPOs that were of vital relevance to the market.

SALIDAS A BOLSA EN EL SECTOR «FOOD & BEVERAGE»

One of the most talked about IPOs was that of HelloFresha multinational company with an innovative business model. HelloFresh is dedicated to the preparation and home delivery of complete week-long menus with pre-subscription. It launched an IPO of 31 million shares in November 2017, with an approximate value of €10.25 per share. Today it has a market value of around €1.7 billion.

Hidilao Hotpot is another company with an innovative business model that has recently gone public.  Hidilao Hotpot is a hot pot restaurant chain founded in Jianyang, China, which in September 2018 launched an IPO worth approximately USD 1 billion, priced at USD 2.27 per share. Today, the company has a market capitalisation of about USD 18.6 billion.

Para terminar, BlueApron, el servicio estadounidense de kit de comidas con ingredientes y recetas con un valor de mercado actual de 202,3 millones de dólares estadounidenses, lanzó, en junio de 2017, una IPO de 30 millones de nuevas acciones y un precio aproximado de 10 dólares por acción, levantando así 300 millones de dólares en capital.
