According to media reports, Geely's high-end electric vehicle brand Jikkrypton Intelligent Technology Holdings Co., Ltd. is studying the possibility of an initial public offering (IPO) in the US in February next year. People familiar with the matter said that after measuring investor demand last month, Jikkrypton has been searching for a suitable listing window.
