With the growing demand for electric vehicles in the global market, the potential initial public offering (IPO) plans of Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer Zeekr have attracted a lot of attention in the industry. Geely's premium electric car brand is considering an IPO in the United States in February next year, according to people familiar with the matter.
ZEEKR's IPO plan seems to have matured after an initial assessment of investor demand. The company is now looking for a suitable time to go public, and is expected to go public in the United States around the Lunar New Year, that is, around February 10. The choice for this period may be based on a judgment of market sentiment and the belief that investor interest will increase.
To this end, ZEEKR is working with financial institutions such as Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Bank of America and CICC to prepare for an IPO. However, it is reported that relevant discussions are still ongoing, and details such as the specific timing of the IPO may still be adjusted.

Judging from the IPO prospectus submitted by ZEEKR to the US Securities and Exchange Commission last month, the company plans to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange, which is scheduled to be "ZK". According to the information disclosed by the Securities Regulatory Commission, the number of ** to be issued by ZEEKR does not exceed 92.6 billion shares of common stock. This action marks that ZEEKR has officially embarked on the journey to enter the international capital market.

As the global demand for new energy vehicle transformation continues to rise, the listing of companies such as ZEEKR may bring new capital injection and growth momentum to the industry. Despite the uncertainties, ZEEKR's IPO path is undoubtedly worthy of the continued attention of all parties in the market.
