[NEW YORK] Klook, a travel booking services company, has hired investment banks to help arrange a potential initial public offering (IPO) in the US, according to two sources with knowledge of the matter.

The Hong Kong-based company, backed by investors including SoftBank Group and Goldman Sachs, is working with bankers at Goldman, Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan on the planned first-time share sale, said the sources, asking not to be identified as the process is private.

The deal could come as early as this year and raise around US$500 million, they said, cautioning that the timing and deal size are subject to market conditions.

US IPO activity has gained momentum, bolstered by strong tech earnings and signs of progress in trade negotiations that have restored investor confidence.

Recent listings, including cryptocurrency exchange operator Bullish and design software company Figma, underscore the uptick in market debuts, reversing a period in the year when uncertainty over US President Donald Trump’s tariff policies weighed on new offerings.

Klook, Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan declined to comment. Morgan Stanley did not respond to a request for comment.

It was not immediately clear whether Klook will be selling a stake in the IPO, or whether it will be an investor sell-down or a combination of both.

Bloomberg News reported earlier that the company was exploring a US IPO.

Founded in 2014, Klook turned profitable in 2023. It provides various booking services to travellers across a range of locations globally and competes with other global travel booking sites such as Booking.com and TripAdvisor, as well as China’s Trip.com and South Korea’s Yanolja.

The company said in February that it had raised US$100 million in a funding round led by European investment firm Vitruvian Partners, but did not disclose its valuation at the time. Other investors in Klook include HSG, formerly known as Sequoia Capital China. REUTERS
