Initial Public Offering
The company launched its IPO on April 30th, 2025, under the ticker YB and had sold approximately 2,000,000 ADSs at USD 14.00 share. We had covered this IPO in our ‘Kalkine IPO Report’ on April 29, 2025, and had concluded that this IPO was “Attractive” given it given the financial performance of the company, use of proceeds, and associated risks.
Conclusion
The current price of $20.99 (October 9, 2025) offers a 49.93% gain from the IPO price of $14.00 price. However, the outlook carries increasing risk. Despite strong Q2 2025’s revenue, total operating expenses surged 16% year-over-year, driven by a 55.4% jump in R&D. This escalating cost base is putting pressure on near-term margins. Given the achieved return and the rising cost challenges, investors may consider exiting YB at $20.99 as on October 09, 2025, at 08:10 am PDT.
