Baidu-owned (HKG:9888, HKG:89888) streaming firm IQiyi is moving ahead with plans to list its shares in Hong Kong, Reuters reported Tuesday.
The U.S.-listed firm reportedly hired Bank of America, CICC, and JPMorgan to work on a secondary listing to raise $200 million to $300 million.
The company could file for an IPO in the third quarter, with plans to go public before the 2026 Lunar New Year in mid-February.
Bloomberg reported on the plans earlier in August but cautioned at the time that discussions were at an early stage.
