The share issue is an advantage for China, which has been prompting the nation’s leading tech firms to lean at home rather than moving to exchanges in the U.S., where various inspections of Chinese firms is growing day by day as long-running trade conflicts ramble on.
China thinks the firm’s decision to trade 1.67 billion shares in both Shanghai and Hong Kong, or around eleven percent of the firm in total, will develop the seasoned institutional investors’ interest. Moreover, if the worth of the share is any indication, that plan looks to be working perfectly.
