Chinese tech group’s Nasdaq IPO signals revival for offshore listings
禾赛科技在纳斯达克上市 标志中企赴美IPO重启
Hesai Technology is largest China-based company to go public in US since 2021
激光传感器制造商禾赛科技成为2021年以来在美国上市的最大中国企业。
A Shanghai-based maker of sensors for cars has become the largest Chinese group to go public in the US since 2021, in a deal that exchange executives hope will ease almost two years of tensions during which such listings ground to a halt.Hesai Technology, which supplies laser-based sensors to carmakers and autonomous driving companies, on Wednesday raised $190mn from investors — more than it had originally planned — in an initial public offering on the Nasdaq stock exchange that valued it at around $2.4bn.
一家总部位于上海的汽车传感器制造商成为2021年以来在美国上市的最大中国企业。交易所高管希望，这宗上市将缓解近两年来的紧张局势——近两年期间，此类上市陷入了停滞。
Bob McCooey, Asia-Pacific chair at Nasdaq, said he was hopeful the deal would be a “seminal” event after a series of positive developments in recent months “cleared the dark clouds [that] hung over the US capital markets for Chinese companies”.
向汽车制造商和自动驾驶公司提供激光传感器的禾赛科技(Hesai Technology)，周三在纳斯达克(Nasdaq)进行首次公开发行(IPO)，从投资者那里筹集了1.9亿美元资金，超过了最初的计划。此次IPO对该公司的估值约为24亿美元。
More than 200 Chinese companies worth a combined $1tn are listed on US exchanges, according to the US-China Economic and Security Review Commission, a group created by Congress to examine the national security implications of trade and economic relations between the two countries.
纳斯达克亚太区主席鲍勃•麦库伊(Bob McCooey)表示，他希望此次IPO将成为“具有开创性”的事件，近几个月来一系列积极的事态发展“为中国企业驱散了笼罩在美国资本市场上的乌云”。
