› DOUYU MAY LAUNCH US IPO THIS WEEK

Tencent-backed game live-streaming
platform DOUYU INTERNATIONAL HOLDINGS is
considering launching its planned NYSE IPO
as early as this week after putting the deal
on hold in May, people with knowledge of
the transaction have said.
The company has filed for a US$500m
deal with the SEC but the size may change.
No final decision about the timing of the
launch has been made, said the people.
DouYu put the deal on hold in early
May after US President Donald Trump
threatened to impose higher tariffs on
China, leading to global market sell-offs.
There have been conciliatory moves
between the US and China since, helping to
soothe market sentiment.
A spokesman for DouYu said the
company “continues to work toward the
objective of completing its IPO”.
DouYu last week updated its prospectus
with first-quarter 2019 operating and
financial results.
According to the amended filing, average
total monthly active users (MAUs) reached
159.2 million, up 26% from 126.7 million in
the first quarter of 2018. Paying users grew
by 67% to 6 million from 3.6 million during
the same period.
