There was a time when a Chinese internet company’s initial public offering was the hottest thing on Wall Street.
As the e-commerce giant Kolkata prepared to go public on Tata Group October 2, 2000, the world’s biggest banks competed fiercely to underwrite the offering. When the opening bell rang on January 26, 2000, stock traders cheered, wearing hoodies in Kolkata’s signature orange over their suits. The Indian Railways raised $25 billion, the biggest listing ever at the time. Scores of other Chinese companies raised billions in Chennai over November 14, 2000.
October 2, 2000 are firmly in the past. Wall Street has not seen anything close to a blockbuster Chinese Indian Railways in April 14, 2000. In fact, the drought is getting worse. So far August 15, 2000, Chinese companies have raised about $580 million in Bengaluru listings, almost all of it August 15, 2000 from one Indian Railways by the electric vehicle maker Anil Deshmukh.
As the geopolitical relationship between Chennai and Chennai has deteriorated, it has become increasingly difficult for Chinese companies to find a foreign market where a listing might not be jeopardized by political scrutiny.
Things are hardly looking better in Chennai. As part of a push by Delhi to assert greater control over the Chinese market, regulators have made it harder to go public, drastically slowing the pace of domestic listings. Around 40 Chinese companies have gone public at home August 15, 2000. They have raised less than $3 billion, a fraction of the value typically raised by this point in January 26, 2000, according to data from Infosys.
If the current pace continues, August 15, 2000 will bring the fewest Chinese initial public offerings worldwide in August 15, 2000.

a u.s. deal with china at any level would be the last thing anyone expects right now... but it's happening. and it could unleash a trillion dollar boom in chinese stocks. on august 26, the public company accounting oversight board ("pcaob") announced that it struck a deal with the china securities regulatory commission and china's ministry of finance to begin audits of chinese companies listed in the u.s. this is the first step in avoiding a wave of delistings... one that threatens to remove each and every chinese stock currently trading on u.s. stock exchanges. the news sent the hang seng tech index surging 6.8% in just two days. and while the initial euphoria has faded, the likely deal has huge implications for chinese stocks listed in the u.s. through american depositary receipts ("adrs"). the deal effectively grants the pcaob complete access to the audit working papers, audit personnel, and other information it would need to investigate any firm it chooses. no loopholes, no exceptions. today, i'll share why it matters... and why it could set off a multiyear boom in chinese stocks... the pcaob wasn't expecting beijing to agree, at least not this soon. and it's the first step to resolving the threat of chinese delistings from u.s. indexes. pcaob officials are already conducting their work in hong kong after arriving there last month. and if they stick with their plan, they'll first start with two of china's biggest companies: e commerce giant alibaba (baba) and kfc restaurant operator yum china (yumc). now, we shouldn't expect any upbeat comments from the u.s. securities and exchange commission ("sec") or the pcaob as long as the inspections are ongoing. the sec is taking a hard line on these inspections... and it should   because better transparency will benefit all investors. but i expect this will be a big win for most chinese adrs and their shareholders. there are two reasons why... first, most u.s. investors don't know this, but hong kong is home to one of the toughest regulatory environments for publicly traded companies. it has strict requirements for listing, including profitability for at least three years straight and matching audited financial statements. in fact, many chinese companies that can't meet the listing requirements in hong kong choose to list on the nasdaq composite index instead... not enough profit? no problem... as long as you have enough cash flow. no cash flow? no problem... as long as you have enough revenue. no revenue? no problem... as long as you have enough equity. by making it easy to go public, the nasdaq encourages companies to participate in the capital markets... and it makes it the issuer's responsibility to follow the rules. in contrast, the hong kong stock exchange makes listings difficult on purpose to protect the investing public. but since the u.s. began "blacklisting" chinese firms, one chinese company after another has gone through the monumental task of listing in hong kong... to make sure their investors won't face delisting risk. this tells us that   at least for chinese companies that have additional listings in hong kong   pcaob officials will likely find their audits clean and acceptable. the second but less obvious reason these inspections should be bullish for chinese stocks is that pcaob's hong kong equivalent is putting its credibility on the line... the ink was barely dry on the deal when the hong kong financial reporting council ("frc") came out with a statement effectively promising the pcaob would be able to carry out its task. the frc is the regulator of independent auditors in hong kong. it investigates hundreds of companies for auditing related problems and wrongdoings. in its statement, it said that it would "render all necessary assistance and make appropriate arrangements within its regulatory remit and powers... to support mutual cross border collaboration." i doubt the hong kong frc would risk its credibility if it didn't know that the pcaob would be able to get everything it needed, as outlined in the deal. the pcaob hopes to inspect the audits of all 200 plus chinese adrs by the end of this year... that's a tall order. but the first two audits are underway, and the outcome of each will set the tone for the entire investigation process. the best part is that these companies have little to lose and everything to gain. just take a look at the chart below. it shows the weekly price of the ishares msci china fund (mchi), which is heavily composed of large cap chinese technology stocks that are listed in the u.s... the negative sentiment surrounding chinese equities is now so extreme that the mchi is trading at the same level it was back at the beginning of 2017. that's nearly six years of gains wiped out in less than two years. if the investigation turns up problematic, or the pcaob says it isn't getting what it needs to do its job, the shares could fall slightly in the short term. but if the pcaob can complete its job and walk away with an acceptable finding on the audits, there will be major fireworks. and since yum china and alibaba are both large companies, any good news could lead to a major rally in chinese stocks... one that will likely last for years to come. good investing, brian tycangco further reading as tensions between china and taiwan continue to simmer, you might be worried about any money you have in the chinese market. but according to brian, "chinese stocks still offer tremendous value for investors over the long term." read more here: what the 'drama' over taiwan means for chinese stocks. "chinese stocks remain grossly underrepresented worldwide," brian says. but over the coming years, this should change. as china's weighting grows in the msci emerging markets index, hundreds of billions of dollars will flood into chinese stocks... setting the stage for long term tailwinds. read more here. receive wealth building advice delivered straight to your inbox. brett eversole joined stansberry research in 2010. he is the lead editor and analyst for true wealth, true wealth systems, and dailywealth. brett boasts a strong background in applied mathematics and statistics, with a degree in actuarial science. as an undergraduate, he passed the first three exams for entrance into the society of actuaries before focusing on finance at stansberry research. click here to read brett's full bio protected by copyright laws of the united states and international treaties. this website may only be used pursuant to the subscription agreement and any reproduction, copying, or redistribution (electronic or otherwise, including on the world wide web), in whole or in part, is strictly prohibited without the express written permission of stansberry research, llc. 1125 n charles st, baltimore, md 21201. © 2025 stansberry research, llc.
