It is reported that Moonshot AI has initiated preliminary discussions regarding the potential listing with CICC and Goldman Sachs. However, the current discussions are still ongoing, and it remains uncertain whether the listing will be finalized, as well as the specific timeline and fundraising scale. Representatives from Moonshot AI and Goldman Sachs declined to comment, while CICC has not responded. The report indicates that Chinese regulatory authorities have recently strengthened the scrutiny of "red chip" companies issuing shares in Hong Kong, which are registered overseas to attract foreign investment. However, Beijing is also actively supporting local leaders in fields such as AI and robotics. Moonshot AI is on par with companies like DeepSeek and Yushu Technology, with its large model considered one of the top-performing products in China. In fact, other domestic AI large models, such as Zhipu AI and MiniMax, have seen their stock prices reach new highs since being listed in Hong Kong this January, with both companies now valued at approximately $40 billion. In addition to preparing for the IPO, Moonshot AI is also actively raising funds through the private equity market. It is reported that the company completed over $700 million in financing earlier this year and is currently negotiating a new round of financing of up to $1 billion. This round of expansion will bring the company's valuation to approximately $18 billion. ## Investors include Tencent and Alibaba Moonshot AI was founded by former Tsinghua University professor Yang Zhilin, and its investors include Alibaba (9988), Tencent (700), and 5Y Capital. The company just released an upgraded version of its flagship AI model "Kimi," called K2.5, in January. This model can process text, images, and videos simultaneously through a single prompt and provides underlying computational support for its recently launched AI agent "Kimi Claw." ### 相關股票 - [CICC (601995.CN)](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/quote/601995.CN.md) - [Tencent Holdings Limited (TCTZF.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/quote/TCTZF.US.md) - [GOLDMAN SACHS GROUP INC DEP SHS REPSTG 1/1000TH PRF SER C (GS-C.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/quote/GS-C.US.md) - [CICC (03908.HK)](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/quote/03908.HK.md) - [BABA-W (09988.HK)](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/quote/09988.HK.md) - [TENCENT (00700.HK)](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/quote/00700.HK.md) - [GOLDMAN SACHS GROUP INC DEP REP 1/1000TH PRF D (GS-D.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/quote/GS-D.US.md) - [Alibaba (BABA.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/quote/BABA.US.md) - [Goldman Sachs (GS.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/quote/GS.US.md) - [Tencent (TCEHY.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/quote/TCEHY.US.md) - [BABA 2x Long Daily ETF - GraniteShares (BABX.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/quote/BABX.US.md) - [KraneShares 2x Long BABA Daily ETF (KBAB.US)](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/quote/KBAB.US.md) ## 相關資訊與研究 - [ANALYSIS-Wall Street banks with large trading units may be biggest winners under US capital plan](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/news/279921786.md) - [Defense systems developer Aevex files for an estimated $200 million IPO](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/news/280211956.md) - [Alibaba has made 470,000 AI chips, admits they’re inferior and may always be](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/news/279869327.md) - [Tencent (TCEHY) Brings AI Agents to WeChat's 1 Billion Users as Alibaba and Baidu Race Ahead](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/news/280061085.md) - [Tencent integrates WeChat with OpenClaw AI agent amid China tech battle](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/news/280046413.md)
