China's leading provider of marketing services is joining a growing tide of Shanghai- and Shenzhen-traded companies making second listings in Hong Kong
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Key Takeaways:</h4>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>BlueFocus has filed for a Hong Kong IPO, boasting its status as China's largest and the world's 10th biggest provider of marketing services</li>
<li>The company gets 80% of its revenue from Chinese firms targeting foreign buyers, but that business is undermining its bottom line due to extremely low margins</li>
</ul>
Who says only manufacturers can make IPOs in Hong Kong to complement their current listings on China's domestic A-share markets in Shanghai and Shenzhen?
Such dual listings have become some of Hong Kong's biggest IPOs this year, led by names like electric vehicle battery (EV) giant CATL, which raised $35.3 billion ($4.5 billion) in May, and top condiment maker Haitian, which raised HK$10.1 billion in June. But now, leading marketing services provider&nbsp;BlueFocus Intelligent Communications Group Co. Ltd.&nbsp;(300058.SZ) is aiming to break that monopoly with its own planned Hong Kong IPO.
BlueFocus is one of China's oldest providers of marketing services, set up in 1996. It's also the world's 10th&nbsp;biggest provider of such services, making it the lone Chinese company among the global top 10, which includes such powerhouses as&nbsp;WPP&nbsp;(WPP.L) and&nbsp;Omnicom&nbsp;(OMC.US), according to its Hong Kong&nbsp;<a href="https://www1.hkexnews.hk/app/sehk/2025/107472/documents/sehk25062501329.pdf">listing document</a>&nbsp;filed last week.
The company's financials reveal some notable trends, including the huge amounts of money that Chinese companies are spending on campaigns targeting overseas customers. Such spending accounted for 80% of BlueFocus' revenue last year, and that part of the business is growing far faster than its business for marketing services aimed at domestic consumers.
The company is also notable for its razor-thin margins that are well below its global peers, which it attributes to its growing focus on the intensely competitive global marketplace. As a result of that operating model, BlueFocus has been drifting back and forth between the red and the black in the last four years – a trend that looks likely to continue unless it can figure out how to operate its global marketing services business more efficiently.
The company is quite well known in Chinese advertising and PR circles, becoming one of the first to list on the Nasdaq-style ChiNext board in Shenzhen in 2010, just a year after the board's launch. Anyone savvy enough to buy those early shares has done quite well, with the stock up nearly five times since then, currently valuing the company at 23 billion yuan ($3.2 billion).
But even after such gains, BlueFocus' Shenzhen-listed shares currently trade at a price-to-sales (P/S) ratio of just 0.39 – quite anemic for this kind of industry leader and high-growth company that has averaged nearly 30% revenue growth in each of the last three years. That lack of investor enthusiasm is global, with WPP trading at an even lower 0.31, and Omnicom higher, though still not very impressive at 0.92.
BlueFocus' fundraising is unlikely to break the $1 billion mark, but could still raise hundreds of millions of dollars, judging from its current market cap and trio of relatively large underwriters including Huatai International, Guotai Junan and China Renaissance.
The company will use part of the funds to accelerate its recent global expansion that has given it offices in U.S., Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia and Singapore. It will likely use those offices not only to serve its Chinese clients, but also to look for local business as it tries to compete with the global majors. That could become increasingly important as Chinese companies continue to rein in their spending due to a weak domestic economy.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Revenue starts to decline</h4>
Despite its less attractive margins and bottom line, there's no question that BlueFocus' top line revenue has posted strong growth over the last three years. That includes a 15.6% rise last year to 60.8 billion yuan from 52.6 billion yuan in 2023. But we should point out that rate was down sharply from the 43% growth it reported in 2023. And in a similarly worrisome sign, BlueFocus' revenue began to contract in the first quarter of this year, falling nearly 10% to 14.3 billion yuan from 15.8 billion yuan a year earlier, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.szse.cn/disclosure/listed/bulletinDetail/index.html?8c2df248-c0bf-4473-98f1-cc02c233054c">its filing</a>&nbsp;with the Shenzhen Stock Exchange.
The company didn't provide any explanation for the decline in its report. But much of the weakness probably came from its home China market, where companies have been curbing their spending as their growth stalls and consumer demand weakens. Reflecting that, the company's revenue from domestic marketing services tumbled nearly 30% last year to 8.1 billion yuan, though that was partly offset by a slight rise in revenue from domestic advertising services.
BlueFocus' global revenue breakdown provides an interesting snapshot of what markets Chinese companies are targeting, and helps to explain why Beijing may be eager to avoid an escalation of its trade war with the U.S. BlueFocus said that 42% of its customer spending targeting global markets last year was aimed at the U.S., while the second-largest market was Europe with a far smaller 15%.
The company's recent slip into revenue contraction is worrisome when you consider BlueFocus' extremely thin margins, giving it very little wiggle room to operate profitably. Its cost of revenue, mostly from payments to platforms like Google, Facebook and TikTok, equaled 97.5% of its revenue last year, giving it a gross margin of just 2.5% for the year. What's more, that figure has been coming down steadily lately, falling from 4.7% in 2022 to 3.4% in 2023.
The company blamed the high cost of advertising on major internet platforms for its thin margins. It said the problem was especially acute outside China, where it had very little bargaining power to negotiate better prices with giants like Google and TikTok. Still, we should point out the company's gross margins are still well below the roughly 17% for WPP and even higher 19% for Omnicom.
The bottom line is that BlueFocus needs to find a way to operate more profitably, though it could have trouble squeezing more money from its core Chinese clients due to the nation's weakening economy. It could potentially offset some of that weakness by looking for customers outside China, which explains the recent move to open new global offices. But its chances for success in those markets seem relatively small, since it will have to compete against both the global majors and many smaller local players who are far more familiar with local conditions.

BlueFocus Eyes Hong Kong IPO Amid Dual Listings Boom

Health insurer Elevance Health Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ELV#NYSE">ELV</a>) is scheduled to release its second quarter 2025 financial <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/07/b46233308/elevance-health-to-hold-conference-call-and-webcast-to-discuss-second-quarter-2025-results-on-july" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">results on July 17</a>.
Analysts estimate adjusted earnings of $9.197 per share on sales of $48.24 billion, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/feature/newsfeed" rel="noreferrer noopener">as per data from Benzinga Pro</a>.
UnitedHealth Group Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNH#NYSE">UNH</a>) has been the first major health insurer to report quarterly earnings for several quarters. However, this quarter, the insurance giant will release its second quarter 2025 financial <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/06/b45734284/unitedhealth-group-announces-earnings-release-date" rel="noreferrer noopener">results on July 29</a>.
As it&#8217;s the biggest player in the industry, Forbes writes that analysts and investors often use its results to gauge the sector&#8217;s overall health.

All eyes will be on the sector after Centene Corp&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CNC#NYSE">CNC</a>) withdrawal of its 2025 GAAP and adjusted diluted EPS guidance, which stems from its initial review of 2025 industry data from Wakely, an <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/07/46222916/centenes-guidance-withdrawal-spooks-sector-oscar-health-stock-falls" rel="noreferrer noopener">independent actuarial firm</a>.
While withdrawing its comprehensive EPS guidance, Centene has reaffirmed its&nbsp;fiscal year 2025 adjusted EPS&nbsp;to be greater than $7.25, aligning with the consensus of $7.23.
UnitedHealth suspended its 2025 outlook in May, citing that care activity <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45373368/unitedhealth-stock-plunges-names-new-ceo-suspends-2025-guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">continued to accelerate</a>.
Earlier in July, managed healthcare service provider under the Medicaid and Medicare programs, Molina Healthcare, Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MOH#NYSE">MOH</a>), issued preliminary second-quarter results and lowered its full-year 2025 earnings outlook, citing rising medical costs across its Medicaid, Medicare,&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/guidance/25/07/46273556/molina-healthcare-says-higher-medical-cost-trends-bite-cuts-profit-guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">and state marketplace businesses</a>.
The company expects Q2 adjusted earnings of approximately $5.50 per share—slightly below earlier forecasts—due to expected cost pressures that will persist into the second half of the year.
As a result, Molina cut its full-year 2025 adjusted EPS guidance to $21.50 -$22.50, down from at&nbsp;least $24.50&nbsp;previously. The new forecast reflects a consolidated pre-tax margin just under 4%, at the low end of the company&#8217;s long-term target.
Forbes <a target="_blank" href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/brucejapsen/2025/07/14/eyes-on-elevance-health-not-unitedhealth-as-first-to-report-earnings/" rel="noreferrer noopener">adds</a> Centene&#8217;s announcement is just the latest in a series of updates from health insurers who, over the past two years, have had a hard time managing the costs of people enrolled in government-subsidized health plans.
Price Action: UNH stock is down 1.29% at $300.19 at the last check on Monday.

In an era where brick-and-mortar retailers are struggling to maintain their footing amid the rapid rise of e-commerce giants, Best Buy Co., Inc.&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BBY#NYSE">BBY</a>) recent downgrade by Piper Sandler highlights the ongoing challenges faced by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/retailers">traditional electronics retailers.</a>
The Best Buy Analyst: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/58b96e17b85e930001592a16/peter-keith">Analyst Peter Keith</a> downgraded the rating from Overweight to Neutral, while reducing the price target from $82 to $75.
The Best Buy Thesis: While there is consumer awareness about the Windows 10 End of Life in October, this may not drive PC demand, Keith said in the downgrade note.
Check out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings">other analyst stock ratings</a>.
Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) provides instructions on how users can upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11 for free and several PC manufacturers have indicated that upgrades are already taking place, he added.
Best Buy's appliance sales have "significantly underperformed" those of Home Depot Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HD#NYSE">HD</a>) and Lowe&#8217;s Companies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LOW#NYSE">LOW</a>) over the past three years, and Costco Wholesale Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COST#NASDAQ">COST</a>) has become "more aggressive on appliance services," the analyst wrote.
Best Buy's Consumer Electronics category has comped -10% over the past six years, underscoring a lack of innovation—especially in TVs. The analyst notes that Walmart's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) recent acquisition of Vizio could further disrupt the market, as the company leverages high-margin Retail Media revenue from Vizio's growing install base to subsidize TV sales, potentially selling units at a loss or even offering them free to new Walmart+ members.
BBY Price Action: Best Buy Co shares were down 3.08% at $69.58 at the time of publication on Monday, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">according to Benzinga Pro</a>.

Sonnet BioTherapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SONN#NASDAQ">SONN</a>) stock surged Monday amid high trading volume following news of a transformative business combination with Rorschach I, backed by Atlas Merchant Capital and Paradigm. 
The deal will create Hyperliquid Strategies Inc., a public cryptocurrency treasury company holding around 12.6 million HYPE tokens—worth $583 million—plus $305 million in cash, for a total assumed value of $888 million.
The new entity will remain Nasdaq-listed under a new ticker and be led by Bob Diamond (Chairman) and David Schamis (CEO). Major crypto investors including Galaxy Digital, Pantera Capital, and D1 Capital are participating. Sonnet will become a subsidiary of Hyperliquid Strategies, continue biotech R&amp;D (e.g., SON-1010), and raise $5.5 million via private placement. 
Shareholders will receive a contingent value right (CVR) tied to Sonnet's legacy biotech assets, which remain open to partnership deals.

NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) has taken the world by storm, becoming the first public company to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46326271/nvidia-breaks-4-trillion-barrier-benzinga-poll-predicted-it-first">surpass the $4 trillion </a>market capitalization milestone.
A new poll asks whether Nvidia will also be the first to hit $5 trillion or will be beaten by one of the other tech giants.
What Happened: Nvidia has quickly climbed the ranks as one of the most valuable companies in the world, first reaching a $1 trillion market cap <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/05/32630114/nvidia-becomes-ninth-company-to-hit-1-trillion-market-cap-who-could-be-next-to-join-elusive-club">in May 2023 </a>and becoming the most valuable company less than two years later.
The semiconductor giant beat Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) to the punch for the latest milestone, which comes after Apple was previously the first U.S. publicly traded company to hit the $1 trillion, $2 trillion and $3 trillion market capitalization milestones.
Nvidia also beat Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) to the milestone, which comes as the two companies have often traded places as the most valuable company in the world over the last year.
Benzinga recently polled readers to ask which of the three companies will hit the next milestone first.
"Which company will be the first to reach a $5 trillion market cap?" Benzinga asked.
The results on Benzinga's Instagram were:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Nvidia: 75%</li>
<li>Microsoft: 8%</li>
<li>Apple: 5%</li>
<li>Company not listed here: 12%</li>
</ul>
Benzinga also polled users on Threads and received the following results:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Nvidia: 73%</li>
<li>Microsoft: 11%</li>
<li>Apple: 2%</li>
<li>Company not listed here: 13%</li>
</ul>
Both polls produced similar results, with Nvidia receiving over 70% of the vote among Benzinga readers. Microsoft placed second in both polls, with Apple ranking third among the three companies.
Coming in second place overall was the option for "Company not listed here." It could be less than 12 months before a company is valued at $5 trillion or it could be years, which means that a company currently ranking under these three companies could have time to surge up the valuation rankings or a company not currently valued at $1 trillion could also make a move similar to Nvidia.
Here are the other companies currently valued at $1 trillion or more:
<ul class="wp-block-list">

In late June,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/25/07/46198021/nvidia-vs-microsoft-vs-apple-which-stock-reaches-4-trillion-first" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga polled its readers</a>&nbsp;to ask which of these three tech giants would reach the $4 trillion market cap first.
The results on Instagram were:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Nvidia: 79%</li>
<li>Microsoft: 14%</li>
<li>Apple: 7%</li>
</ul>
At the time, Nvidia had the market capitalization lead at $3.85 trillion, with Microsoft and Apple following closely behind at $3.70 trillion and $3.06 trillion, respectively.
