HONG KONG, Sept 29 (Reuters) -
JingDong Industrials, a unit of Chinese online retailer
JD.com ( JD ), is seeking to raise $500 million with a Hong
Kong initial public offering (IPO) as soon as the end of
October, two sources with direct knowledge said, after the firm
cleared a key regulatory hurdle.
The company, also known as JDi, refiled for a Hong Kong
listing on Sunday after receiving the green light from China's
securities regulator last week, more than two years after it
first notified the China Securities Regulatory Commission of its
offering plans, according to the regulator's disclosures.
The company is planning to launch the offering as soon
as possible and complete it in November if it misses a window in
October, the sources said. They declined to be identified
because the information was confidential.
JDi's long-awaited IPO comes as Hong Kong has experienced a
strong recovery in new listings this year, totalling $23 billion
in the year-to-date period, up more than 200% from a year
earlier, according to data from LSEG.
JD.com ( JD ), which owns about 79% of the unit after spinning it
off in 2023, did not immediately respond to a request for
comment.
In its Hong Kong IPO filing, JDi said it is the leading
industrial supply chain technology and service provider in
China.
In the first half of 2025, its revenue rose 18.9% from a
year earlier to 10.3 billion yuan ($1.4 billion), the filing
said.
Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, Haitong International
Securities, UBS and Huatai Financial Holdings are the overall
coordinators of the IPO, JDi said in its Sunday stock exchange
filing.
