Well-known hedge fund Point72 spends US $390 million to raise Luckin Coffee's shares.

On Aug. 6, Point72, a well-known hedge fund, disclosed to the US Securities Regulatory Commission that it had increased its stake in Luckin Coffee by about 17.02 million shares, accounting for 5.1 per cent.

The capital market then gave positive feedback, and the share price of Luckin Coffee (LK.US) rose sharply. As of today, it rose 4.33% to a high of US $24.73, with a total market capitalization of 5.794 billion.

Point72 Asset Management, a family-owned fund manager with about $11 billion under management, made positive gains despite an average 6.7 per cent decline in the US hedge fund industry last year. Hedge fund magnate Steve Cohen is the fund's operator.

Prior to this, Ruixing only took four days from listing to breaking. On the evening of May 22nd, Luckin Coffee opened trading at the initial offering price of US $17 and then fell all the way down. Luckin Coffee shares fell 14.89 per cent to $14.75 at the close.

On July 23rd, the registered capital of Luckin Coffee (China) Co., Ltd. changed from US $750 million to US $1.05 billion, an increase of US $300m. It also paves the way for the future layout of surrounding products and adds new business scope.

Luckin Coffee signed a strategic cooperation framework agreement with Americana Group, the largest food manufacturing and sales company in the Middle East, on July 22nd. The two sides plan to set up a joint venture to carry out new coffee retail business in the Greater Middle East and India. Industry insiders believe that the significance of Luckin Coffee's move lies in the export of technology to expand overseas markets, and its business model has laid the groundwork for this for a long time. At the same time, from the content of cooperation between the two sides, Luckin Coffee's ambition is not in the coffee market, and food retail also has some room for imagination for Luckin Coffee to enrich its own product matrix in the future.
