Chinese Firms Show Resilient Interest in U.S. IPOs Despite Regulatory Hurdles
NEW YORK, Dec. 4, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Despite regulatory challenges and geopolitical tensions, there is a sustained interest among Chinese companies in listing on U.S. stock exchanges. This trend is indicative of the global financial clout and reputation of U.S. capital markets, which offer Chinese firms access to a wider investor base and potentially higher valuations than domestic or other international exchanges. The U.S. stock market, being one of the largest and most liquid in the world, provides significant advantages for Chinese companies seeking to expand their international presence and secure capital for growth and innovation. As of October, seventeen Chinese companies raising a total of $405 million started trading on U.S. exchanges this year, according to data from IPO research firm Renaissance Capital. Last year's 14 IPOs raised a total of $468 million. VCI Global Limited (NASDAQ: VCIG), Tencent Holding Ltd. (OTC: TCEHY), Lufax Holding Ltd (NYSE: LU), Qifu Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: QFIN)
