Meituan aims to raise $4.4 billion
Published on: Wednesday, September 05, 2018
HONG KONG: Chinese restaurant review and food delivery giant Meituan-Dianping said it aims to raise up to $4.4 billion for its initial public offering in Hong Kong, despite a lukewarm response to other recent IPOs in the city. The target will see Meituan offering 480.27 million new shares at a range of HK$60 ($7.64) to HK$72 apiece, Bloomberg News reported Tuesday. Although it has hundreds of millions of users, the firm is loss-making and has said that it could not guarantee profitability in future. Investor sentiment has already been dampened by uncertainty sparked by the trade row between China and the United States.
