Chinese Esports Group Backed by Tencent Raises $775 Million in US IPO

騰訊支持的一家中國電競集團(tuán)赴美首次公開募股，融資7.75億美元

A Chinese video-streaming service raised $775 million through a Nasdaq listing, capitalizing on the growing popularity of watching others play games on the internet.

一家中國視頻流媒體服務(wù)公司抓住了在線游戲直播越來越受歡迎的機(jī)會(huì)，通過在納斯達(dá)克上市籌集了7.75億美元的資金。

The initial public offering by DouYu International Holdings Ltd was the biggest this year by a Chinese company in the US, ahead of the $645 million IPO of cafe chain Luckin Coffee Inc.

斗魚國際控股有限公司的首次公開募股是今年中國企業(yè)最大規(guī)模的赴美上市交易，超過了瑞幸咖啡6.45億美元的IPO籌資額。

DouYu offers both desktop and mobile apps, and counts China’s Huya Inc and Amazon.com Inc’s Twitch among its peers.

斗魚直播同時(shí)提供電腦端和移動(dòng)端的服務(wù)，它將中國的虎牙和亞馬遜公司旗下的 Twitch 等直播平臺(tái)視為競爭對(duì)手。

DouYu, which is backed by Chinese internet heavyweight Tencent Holdings Ltd, sold 67.39 million American depositary shares at $11.50 apiece, at the bottom of an indicative price range of $11.50 to $14 a share, it said in a statement. Its shares in the US ended their first day of trading Wednesday flat at $11.50.

由中國互聯(lián)網(wǎng)巨頭騰訊支持的斗魚在一份聲明中表示，此次IPO共發(fā)行6,739萬份美國存托股票，每股的價(jià)格為11.50美元，是11.50美元至14美元的指導(dǎo)價(jià)格區(qū)間的下限。其股票在周三發(fā)行首日收于11.50美元，與發(fā)行價(jià)持平。

The IPO values the company at nearly $4 billion, including restricted shares issued to employees under a share-based compensation program.

此次IPO后，斗魚的估值接近40億美元，其中包括股權(quán)激勵(lì)機(jī)制下向斗魚員工發(fā)行的限制性股份。

China’s esports industry is the world’s largest by revenue and number of gamers, according to iResearch. Last year, some 683 million people, or roughly half the country’s population, played games on phones, computers or game consoles.

據(jù)艾瑞咨詢的數(shù)據(jù)顯示，按照收入和游戲玩家人數(shù)來計(jì)算，中國電子競技行業(yè)在全球是規(guī)模最大的。去年中國的手游、電腦游戲及主機(jī)游戲的玩家數(shù)量約為6.83億人，幾乎達(dá)到中國總?cè)丝诘囊话肓恕?/p>

The market-research firm forecasts that number will reach 878 million—or nearly a third of videogamers globally—in 2023.

這家市場研究公司預(yù)計(jì)，到2023年中國游戲玩家人數(shù)將達(dá)到8.78億，幾乎達(dá)全球游戲玩家總數(shù)的三分之一。
