Chinese autonomous driving company Pony AI (NASDAQ: PONY) has officially launched its initial public offering (IPO) in Hong Kong, offering approximately 41.96 million Class A ordinary shares. The company announced that the maximum offer price is set at HK$180 ($23.17) per share, with final pricing expected around November 3. According to its filing, cornerstone investors have already pledged around US$120 million to the international tranche, signaling strong market confidence in the firm’s long-term growth prospects.
The IPO marks an important milestone for Pony AI, which is also listed on the New York Stock Exchange, as it seeks to expand its capital base and strengthen global presence. The company stated that the funds raised will primarily support the development of Level 4 autonomous driving systems, enhance research and development initiatives, and boost working capital to accelerate commercialization.
Pony AI’s move highlights a broader trend of Chinese technology firms pursuing dual listings in Hong Kong, driven by growing regulatory scrutiny in the U.S. and ongoing geopolitical tensions between the two countries. Dual listings offer companies greater financial flexibility and access to a wider pool of international investors, while also mitigating risks associated with foreign market restrictions.
The offering is being jointly underwritten by major global financial institutions including Goldman Sachs, Bank of America Securities, Deutsche Bank, Huatai Securities, and Macquarie Group, ensuring strong institutional backing.
With autonomous driving technology emerging as a key frontier in the future of mobility, Pony AI’s Hong Kong IPO positions it to compete more aggressively in the global self-driving market, leveraging advanced AI and machine learning to achieve higher levels of automation and safety.
