Online travel agency Trip.com (NASDAQ: TCOM), is working on a secondary listing in Hong Kong that could raise at least USD 1 billion in the first half of this year, with investment banks CICC, Goldman Sachs, and JPMorgan as underwriters, 36Kr reported.
The Shanghai-based company already pondered a delisting from the US market since last year, amidst increased scrutiny and audit requirements from regulators and ongoing international tensions.
Trip.com by far isn’t the only US-listed Chinese company said to pursue a homecoming. Reports in early January were indicating that both search engine giant Baidu (NASDAQ: BIDU) and video streaming site Bilibili (NASDAQ: BILI) are preparing for Hong Kong IPOs this year.
