PDD Analysts See HK Listing as More Likely After Auditor Change
PDD Holdings Inc., a Chinese e-commerce company, has switched to a Hong Kong-based auditor, which analysts believe could signal the firm's intention to pursue a secondary listing in Hong Kong. The move comes amid ongoing regulatory scrutiny and delisting threats faced by Chinese companies listed in the United States. By opting for a Hong Kong-based auditor, PDD may be positioning itself to meet the requirements for a Hong Kong listing, which could provide it with an alternative funding source and greater access to investors in the region. The analysts suggest that this change in auditor reflects PDD's proactive approach to navigating the evolving regulatory landscape and diversifying its listing options. However, the company has not yet confirmed any specific plans for a Hong Kong listing, and the decision remains subject to further developments and regulatory approvals.
