Chinese robot maker AgiBot is planning an initial public offering (IPO) on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The company has appointed Citic Securities as a sponsor, with China International Capital Corporation (CICC) and Morgan Stanley also serving as joint sponsors. This move follows AgiBot's restructuring last year from a limited liability company to a joint-stock limited firm, a common preparatory step for companies seeking to list publicly. The fast-growing, Shanghai-based robot maker's pursuit of an IPO indicates its intention to access public markets.
