‘Netflix of China' iQiyi plans RM1.27b Hong Kong listing amid return of Trump-era delisting risk

HONG KONG, Aug 7 — iQiyi Inc is seeking to raise up to US$300 million (RM1.27 billion) via a second listing in Hong Kong, Bloomberg reported today, citing people familiar with the matter. According to the global financial media site, the Netflix-style streaming platform, backed by Baidu Inc, has begun talks with global banks about a potential offering later this year. If the plan proceeds, iQiyi would become the latest US-listed Chinese firm to tap investors closer to home, amid renewed geopolitical uncertainty and a resurgence in Hong Kong's equity markets. Negotiations are still fluid and the company may change course. A spokesman for iQiyi declined to comment when contacted by Bloomberg. The platform, which streams everything from period dramas to Hollywood films, competes with Tencent Holdings Ltd and Alibaba Group Holding Ltd, and reportedly has over 400 million monthly active users. iQiyi shares briefly rose 6 per cent in New York following the news, but ended little changed. A successful Hong Kong debut would place iQiyi among other Chinese giants returning to regional markets. Contemporary Amperex Technology Co Ltd (CATL), a battery maker listed in Shenzhen, is also weighing a Hong Kong share sale. These moves have helped revive Hong Kong's IPO market. A wave of fresh listings this year has returned the city to second place globally for share sales — a title it last held in 2012. Looser listing rules and Chinese issuers have driven the rebound. For firms like iQiyi, political pressure in the US is also prompting a rethink. 'Donald Trump's return to the White House this year has revived the threat of their stock getting delisted in America,' Bloomberg noted. The Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, passed in 2020, allows the SEC to delist firms if auditors can't be inspected for two years — a law aimed at improving transparency after prior accounting controversies. Though a 2022 agreement gave US regulators access to Chinese audit documents, speculation lingers that companies like iQiyi and PDD Holdings Inc. might seek 'friendlier' markets. Before the pandemic, Alibaba and Baidu paved the way with Hong Kong listings following their US IPOs — a path iQiyi may soon follow.

Semiconductor shock: Trump's 100pc tariff warning jolts Asian markets

TOKYO, Aug 7 — Chip-related shares were down in early Asian trade today, after US President Donald Trump said he planned to impose a 100 per cent tariff on imported semiconductors. Tokyo Electron, a major Japanese producer of chipmaking equipment, plunged 3.4 per cent as markets opened in Tokyo, and chipmaker Renesas was down 2.5 per cent. In Seoul, chip giant SK hynix plunged 2.9 per cent, while traders awaited the market's opening bell in Taipei, where TSMC — the world's largest contract maker of chips — is listed. Trump said yesterday at the White House that 'we're going to be putting a very large tariff on chips and semiconductors'. The level would be '100 per cent', he told reporters, although he did not offer a timetable for the new levy being enacted. 'But the good news for companies like Apple is, if you're building in the United States, or have committed to build... in the United States, there will be no charge,' Trump said. Apple announced yesterday that it will invest an additional US$100 billion (RM422.6 billion) in the United States, taking its total pledge to US$600 billion over the next four years. Governments around the world are bracing as new waves of US tariffs are due to take effect this week. They hit many products from Brazil yesterday and are set to hit dozens of other economies — including the European Union and Taiwan — beginning today. Among other chip-related stocks in Tokyo today, precision tools maker Disco Corporation gave up 1.3 per cent while Sumco, which makes silicon wafers, lost 1.7 per cent. — AFP
