Hong Kong, October 9, 2025
News Summary
Sany Heavy Industry is preparing a Hong Kong share sale that could raise about US$1.5 billion through a dual listing while its 2024 net profit rose 32% to 6.1 billion yuan. The Beijing-based construction-equipment maker may attend a Hong Kong exchange hearing soon and begin investor outreach shortly. Citic Securities and China International Capital Corp. are coordinating the offering. Proceeds are earmarked to expand sales and service networks across Asia, South America and Africa as overseas revenue already accounts for roughly two-thirds of sales. Final deal size and timing remain subject to regulatory approvals and market conditions.
Sany Heavy Industry Moves to List in Hong Kong, Aiming to Raise About US$1.5 Billion
Sany Heavy Industry Co. is preparing to seek investor interest for a Hong Kong share listing that could raise roughly US$1.5 billion. Company officials are expected to attend a listing hearing with the Hong Kong stock exchange as soon as this week, and the firm may move to list its shares in the coming weeks. Deliberations on deal size and timing remain ongoing and could change.
Key deal details and timetable
The proposed Hong Kong offering will be a dual listing for a business whose shares already trade on the Shanghai exchange. Early steps include gauging investor appetite as early as next week and a listing hearing that could take place this week. The company has been reported to have secured regulatory approval domestically for a Hong Kong listing, a move that would place the deal among the city’s larger offerings this year if it completes on the stated terms.
Who is coordinating the deal
Two major Chinese investment banks are listed as overall coordinators for the listing. The company has not supplied an immediate comment on the sales process, and a representative for the Hong Kong exchange declined to comment.
Why the listing matters now
Sany’s plan is part of a broader finance strategy set out in 2022 to diversify funding sources. The company intends to use proceeds from the Hong Kong share sale to support fast-paced global expansion and to build out local sales networks in Asia, South America and Africa. Market intelligence groups estimate that total initial share sale proceeds in Hong Kong could top roughly US$26 billion in 2025, and this offering could help set the tone for the year’s deal flow.
Financial performance and growth targets
In 2024, Sany posted a profit of about 6.1 billion yuan, or roughly US$856 million, up about 32% from the prior year. Overseas revenue rose around 12% to approximately 48.51 billion yuan in 2024, representing nearly 65% of the company’s total revenue that year. The company has set a target to more than double overseas revenue to roughly 100 billion yuan (about US$14 billion) within the coming multi-year period; some company statements have framed that objective with a target date around 2028.
Strategy and market focus
Sany manufactures a broad slate of heavy construction equipment, including machines for concrete transport, excavation, lifting, road work and pile-driving. According to customs and trade data, the company was the country’s largest exporter of excavators and concrete mixers last year. The business sells into roughly 180 countries and regions and operates production facilities across several continents, including sites in the United States, Europe, India, Brazil and Germany.
The company describes overseas markets as central to its growth strategy, especially as domestic demand has softened amid weaknesses in the home property market. Domestic sales fell by more than 3% in 2024 compared with 2023. Overseas sales account for a large share of the group’s revenue, with about 70% of foreign sales concentrated in Asia-Pacific and Europe. The company says it has adjusted supply chains to limit reliance on inputs from U.S. suppliers and is prioritizing markets where acceptance of its brand and demand for Chinese equipment is stronger — notably developing and emerging economies.
Industry standing and risks
Sany is described as one of the top global makers of construction machinery, ranking behind several large multinational competitors. The firm’s planned Hong Kong listing would be among more than 100 companies, mostly from the mainland, that have been lining up to tap Hong Kong’s markets this year. Observers note the offering’s timing against ongoing geopolitical and trade tensions between major economies, but the company sees those tensions as only one factor in a broader globalisation push focused on localised marketing and people, not just factory building.
Uncertainties to watch
The final deal size, pricing and exact timing remain subject to change. Regulatory clearances, market conditions and investor demand in Hong Kong will drive the ultimate structure. The company and exchange representatives have not offered detailed public comment while the listing process is underway.
