Ant Group Eyes Raising $17.5 Billion via Hong Kong IPO Without Cornerstone Investors
Backed by Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba, Ant plans to list simultaneously in Hong Kong and on Shanghai’s STAR Market next month, in what could be the world’s largest IPO, surpassing oil giant Saudi Aramco’s $29.4 billion float last December.
The company is seeking to raise about $35 billion in the dual IPO after assessing early investor interest and based on a higher valuation of about $250 billion or more, Reuters has reported.
Ant did not respond to a request for immediate comment.
