Chinese self-driving technology company Pony AI is launching commerce on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange on Wednesday at an offering price of $13 per share, the high end of its expected range.
With an initial public offering of 20 million American depositary shares, Pony is expected to earn at least $260 million on a $4.55 billion valuation since its debut.
Returns are likely to exceed that. Strategic investors are expected to buy approximately $153 million worth of Pony AI shares in private placements, and the underwriters – Goldman Sachs, BofA Securities, Deutsche Bank, Huatai Securities and Tiger Brokers – have the option to purchase an additional 3 million shares.
Finally, Pony’s total revenue could rise to $452.4 million.
After WeRide and Zeekr, Pony is the latest Chinese tech company to challenge the US public market following a virtual ban from Beijing. Investors will be closely monitoring Pony’s performance, especially as both the United States and China seek to control progress in autonomous vehicle technology.
