Pinduoduo raises US$1.6b in strong Nasdaq listing
Print Edition
TENCENT-BACKED shopping platform Pinduoduo priced its US initial public offering at US$19 per share, raising US$1.6 billion. Trading on the Nasdaq began yesterday.
The price, at the top of its range of between US$16 and US$19 a share, gives the three-year-old company a US$24 billion market capitalization.
The e-commerce platform joins a number of Chinese Internet companies seeking offshore listing as competition with domestic rivals heats up.
About 40 percent of the funds will be used to enhance and expand business, 40 percent for research and development and the rest for general corporate purposes, according to its prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Pinduoduo said it had 103 million monthly active users of its mobile platform at the end of March. Thanks to a large user base, largely accumulated through Tencent’s WeChat, Pinduoduo has quickly become a major challenger to leading e-commerce firms such as Alibaba’s Taobao, and JD.com.
