Sany Heavy Industry Co. is considering a Hong Kong IPO for its electric truck
unit Hunan Xingbida Network Technology Co., which could raise about $500
million, according to people familiar with the matter. Deliberations are
ongoing. The move follows rival Xuzhou XCMG Automobile Manufacturing Co. also
exploring a similar ~$500 million listing. Sany Heavy raised about HK$13.5
billion ($1.7 billion) in a Hong Kong share sale in October, though its stock is
now only about 3% above debut levels. Hong Kong IPOs have raised nearly $20
billion this year.
