Li Auto Inc. (NASDAQ: LI), a Chinese manufacturer of electric vehicles, is planning a Hong Kong IPO that may raise up to HK$15 billion ($1.9 billion), despite the fact that investors are still reeling from China’s corporate crackdown.

The Beijing-based business is offering 100 million shares for as much as HK$150 apiece. In fact, the sale is divided into 10 million shares for Hong Kong merchants and the remainder for overseas investors, whose shares may be priced higher, according to Li Auto’s announcement.

Interestingly, the firm is trading well above its 20, 50, and 200-day simple moving averages, often used by growth stock investors as key uptrend indicators. Based on recent performance and the fact that the stock is trading above the 20-day simple moving average, the firm’s displaying short-term bullish momentum.

Li protecting itself from delisting

Li Auto garnered $1.3 billion in its initial public offering in the United States a year ago. As part of a global surge in EV companies, their shares have gained 193% from their initial offering price. 

On balance, Li Auto is following in the footsteps of bigger rival XPeng Inc., which raised $1.8 billion in a dual primary offering in June. U.S.-traded Chinese businesses are shifting to so-called homecoming listings in Hong Kong to protect themselves against delisting from American exchanges while also extending their investor base. 

Amidst fears of delisting, China’s securities regulator stated on Sunday that it would seek improved coordination with its US counterpart and encourage offshore listings.
