The company said 32,462,368 ordinary shares will be outstanding after the IPO, which means the company’s expected valuation should range between $3.73 billion and $4.54 billion. Douyu’s IPO roadshow was originally set to begin in May, but was delayed due to an increase in hostile trade rhetoric from the Trump administration including threats to impose more tariffs.

The key underwriters on the deal are Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan Chase & Co., Bank of America Corp. and CMB International Capital Ltd. Douyu’s IPO comes approximately one year after another Chinese game streaming company, Huya Inc, listed on the NYSE.
