China’s JD.com unit Jingdong Industrials aims for US$412 million Hong Kong IPO


Jingdong Industrials, the supply-chain technology arm of JD.com, aims to raise as much as HK$3.21 billion (US$412 million) through a Hong Kong stock offering, joining a wave of mainland Chinese companies tapping into the city’s buoyant capital market.

The company said it would offer 211.21 million shares priced between HK$12.70 and HK$15.50 in its primary offering, with the final offer price to be determined on December 10, according to a filing with the Hong Kong stock exchange on Wednesday.

About 10 per cent of the H-share offering would be allocated to the public, with the remainder reserved for institutional investors, JD Industrials said. Retail investors can begin subscribing to shares on Wednesday, with the offer closing on December 8. Trading is expected to commence on December 11.

JD Industrials’ listing comes as investors and IPO hopefuls flock to Hong Kong’s exchange, drawn by favourable valuations. The city’s market capitalisation grew 37 per cent year on year to HK$48.1 trillion by the end of October, according to Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing data.

The growth has been powered by a string of billion-dollar mainland Chinese listings. Contemporary Amperex Technology raised US$5.24 billion in May, followed by Chery Automobile securing US$1.18 billion in September and Huawei-backed electric vehicle maker Seres Group raising US$1.8 billion in November.
