HONG KONG -- Chinese car sales website Autohome has raised $688 million through a secondary listing in Hong Kong, as the global equity market turmoil left the company with almost one-third less than expected when it opened the offering, two people familiar with the transaction say.

The market volatility could dampen sentiment for a slew of companies, including search giant Baidu, waiting to list in Hong Kong, those sources said.
