DeepSeek Files IPO Paperwork by Year-End in Push for 2027 Listing
DeepSeek will file paperwork for an initial public offering on the mainland market by the end of this year. The filing paves the way for a stock listing as early as the second quarter of 2027.
The prospect of a public listing comes a month after the firm closed a new private funding round valuing the company at roughly $71 billion. The capital raise supports data center construction and AI model development, positioning the startup for a public debut within 18 months.
