NEW YORK -- Companies with small market capitalizations are driving a rebound in Chinese stock listings in the U.S. as blockbuster initial public offerings show little sign of returning.

Eighteen mainland Chinese companies went public on U.S. markets in the first half of 2025, according to Dealogic data compiled for Nikkei Asia. This was up 80% from a year earlier and is on track to exceed the 34 such IPOs for all of 2024.
