Dongfeng Motor, which has already been listed in Hong Kong, hopes to raise 21.033 billion yuan ($3.132 billion) from its domestic IPO. China International Capital Corporation Limited (CICC) serves as its sponsor.

Dongfeng Motor announced in this year's July its plan of returning to A shares and being listed on the ChiNext Market of Shenzhen Stock Exchange. The company noted that the domestic IPO is carried out to further improve its management structure and complete a financing platform at home and abroad.

The proceeds from the financing will be deployed to research and develop the premium new energy PVs under an all-new brand (namely, “VOYAH”), the next-generation automobiles and forward-looking technologies, and supplement working capital.

Of those, 11 billion yuan ($1.638 billion) is set to be plowed in the “VOYAH” project and 8.8 billion yuan ($1.31 billion) will be mainly used to develop an all-new NEV architecture, autonomous cars and hydrogen fuel cells.

For the first half of 2020, Dongfeng Motor's revenue reached 50.576 billion yuan ($7.53 billion), up by 4.39% from a year ago. Nevertheless, its first-half net profit attributable to the company's equity holders tumbled 64.49% year on year to 3.018 billion yuan ($449.361 million).

Bai Yiyang, an analyst at CMB International, said Dongfeng Motor's return to A shares is favorable to the company in removing the hurdle of raising money at home and abroad, and share in the recent benefits of NEV-related market sentiment in capital market.
