Chinese podcasting startup Ximalaya Inc. is pushing back the launch of its planned initial public offering in Hong Kong, in an abrupt change of heart amid market volatility, people familiar with the matter said.
The Shanghai-based company was speaking with potential cornerstone investors in recent days and was considering to start taking orders as soon as next week if talks go well, Bloomberg News reported earlier. It has now decided to hold off until September at the soonest, the people said.
