Chinese insurance broker Yuanbao filed for an IPO in the US, September 17, indicating a general rebound in investor interest in new listings.
Following a protracted dry period, US initial public offerings (IPOs) are seeing a respectable uptick this year as more businesses venture into the market, buoyed by the success of well-known listings like Reddit and an increase in stock prices.
However, since Beijing clamped down on offshore capital raising in 2021, the number of initial public offerings (IPOs) by Chinese enterprises in the US has dramatically decreased in the last few years.
The first significant offering by a Chinese firm in the US since ride-hailing behemoth Didi Global was forced to delist its shares in late 2021 due to pressure from Chinese officials was EV maker Zeekr, which made its debut on the New York Stock Exchange earlier this year.
