GoNature, a Chinese outdoor apparel maker, has filed for its third Hong Kong IPO attempt with a 2.8 billion yuan valuation and backing from Tencent, Qiming Ventures, and Lee Kai-Fu's Sinovision. While the company shows strong revenue growth (75% annually from 2023-2025) and impressive gross margins, it faces red flags including ballooning inventory levels, extended turnover times of 264 days, minimal R&D spending at 3% of revenue, and heavy reliance on celebrity endorsements for brand building.
