Reuters first to report China’s top property broker KE Holdings exploring Hong Kong listing

Reuters was first to report that China’s biggest housing broker KE Holdings is planning a Hong Kong stock market listing and has hired Goldman Sachs to lead a float. Beijing-based KE, which is backed by Tencent Holdings and SoftBank Group Corp, raised $2.1 billion in its New York IPO last year, making it the second-largest U.S. listing for a Chinese company at the time.
