MT Newswires Live09-06

Midea Group (SHE:000333) aims to raise at least $3 billion in what is expected to be Hong Kong's largest initial public offering in three years, the South China Morning Post reported Thursday, citing an unnamed source.

The world's largest appliance manufacturer plans to start the book-building process as early as Monday, the report said, citing the source.

Midea's IPO is the largest since Baidu's (HKG:9888) $3.08 billion IPO in March 2021. It is also seen to be the largest offering this year, topping that of tea drink maker Sichuan Baicha Baidao Industrial (HKG:2555) at HK$2.58 billion or $330 million in April, the report said.

China International Capital Corp. (HKG:3908, SHA:601995) and Bank of America are joint sponsors of the IPO, the SCMP said.
