AMTD Fundamentals
A widely renowned financial institution, AMTD is considered to be the number 1 independent investment banking firm in Asia based on the number and the aggregate size of its completed IPOs in Hong Kong and the US. At the same time, AMTD is the largest independent asset management firm in Asia serving PRC regional banks and new economy companies. Unlike other global and Chinese firms in Hong Kong, AMTD has a competitive advantage thanks to its access to Asia’s tycoon families and its significant execution efficiency.
Looking to cement its status as a premier financial institution, AMTD and its subsidiaries are joining the metaverse to capitalize on the growing interest in the metaverse. With this in mind, the company has been developing its AMTD SpiderNet by aligning itself with clients, shareholders, and investee companies. To facilitate its venture into the metaverse, AMTD owns land in The Sandbox and plans to be present in other promising metaverses. The AMTD SpiderNet World in the metaverse will be composed of several specialized districts.
The Business District is where AMTD’s businesses and tools will be located in addition to partners like PolicyPal, Capbridge Financials, as well as FOMO Pay. Since this district will offer a suite of decentralized services to its users, it is expected to be a major part of this metaverse. Meanwhile, AMTD will partner with Sharetimes to utilize its IP platform in serving influencers in China to create comics, games, filmas, novels, and music. In light of these features, AMTD’s metaverse plans could allow the company to emerge as a major player in DeFi applications.
In addition, the metaverse will include the Knowledge district which will be the metaverse home for the AMTD FinTech Center of PolyU Faculty of Business. As this district is planned to be a hub for knowledge and contents, AMTD will utilize its JV platform AK73 and work with 36Kr (NASDAQ: KRKR) to provide metaverse advisory to new entrepreneurs and provide them with knowledge in the web3 world. In this way, this district could have major success with metaverse and web3 enthusiasts.
As for Entertainment and Lifestyle District, AMTD will utilize its subsidiary – AMTD Infinity Space Network – to produce films and digital music content in connection with its lifestyle and hotel zone. In the meantime, AMTD owns the iClub AMTD Hotel in Hong Kong and Oakwood Premier AMTD Hotel in Singapore. With this in mind, the company intends to announce other AMTD hotels in the near future in the physical world and its metaverse lands. Through these districts, AMTD has the potential to become a major player in the metaverse industry. In light of this, AMTD stock could be poised to reach new highs upon the introduction of this metaverse.
Aiming to further grow its business, AMTD acquired a 97.1% interest in AMTD Digital Inc – a digital platform that provides financial, media, and investment solutions. At the same time, AMTD Digital offers digital banking and insurance technology platforms. In this way, acquiring AMTD Digital allows AMTD to develop its SpiderNet ecosystem. Considering this subsidiary’s potential, AMTD Digital listed on the NYSE after its IPO last July under the ticker HKD at a price of $7.8. With the company owning 88.7% of HKD’s shares following its IPO, AMTD could be an intriguing investment considering its PPS.
On that note, HKD stock has been one of the hottest plays lately as it soared to nearly $2600. In light of this, AMTD stock and KRKR stock ran in sympathy with HKD thanks to their involvement with the company. Based on this, AMTD stock reached a new 52-week high of $12.9 as well as KRKR stock which reached a high of $2.39. Although there is no apparent reason for such a run, some investors are speculating that HKD stock’s surge could be due to hedge funds shorting the stock since its IPO was relatively recent. Despite these speculations, AMTD stock could be a profitable investment as long as HKD stock continues to reach new highs.
