Additionally, French asset management firm Carmignac Gestion intends to purchase $50 million worth of ADSs in the offering. At $17, Kingsoft Cloud commands a $3.5 billion market cap.

Kingsoft Cloud Holdings plans to list on the Nasdaq under the symbol KC. J.P. Morgan, UBS Investment Bank, Credit Suisse, and CICC acted as lead managers on the deal.
