上半年中国公司纽交所IPO达7家

Seven Chinese companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) through initial public offerings in the first half of the year, statistics released by NYSE Euronext show.

NYSE Euronext led the U.S. market for IPOs in 2010, with a record 22 Chinese companies listing on the bourse.

The seven Chinese companies included social networking website Renren.com, computer security software provider Qihoo 360 Technology Co., news firm Phoenix New Media, children's Web portal Taomee Holdings, mobile internet service provider NetQin Mobile Inc., commercial wheel maker Zhengxing Wheel Group Co Ltd. and men's fashion retailer Zuoan Fashion Ltd.

The seven companies raised a total of US$1.333 billion via their share offerings, accounting for 80 percent of all funds raised by Chinese listings in the U.S.

Five of the seven firms are in the tech sector. Shares of Qihoo 360 jumped 134 percent in its debut on March 29, the third best first-day performance of a U.S.-listed firm in the last ten years.

The top two spots are held by two other Internet companies from China: the country's top search engine Baidu.com and top online video portal Youku.com. Baidu.com surged 354 percent in its market debut in 2005, while Youku.com rocketed 161 percent on its first day of trading last December.
