IPO kallimast börsilt kustutamiseni: isejuhtiva tehnoloogia idufirma TuSimple'i tormiline teekond lõpeb Nasdaqi väljumisega – TechStartups

TuSimple Holdings has decided to delist from the Nasdaq and end its registration with the U.S. securities regulator. This move has led to a 40% decrease in the autonomous driving technology company’s shares during premarket trading.

The news comes just two years after TuSimple fired its co-founder and CEO Xiaodi Hou following an internal probe that revealed links to a Chinese startup. The firing of Hou came a day after The Wall Street Journal published a report citing unnamed sources that TuSimple was facing probes from multiple federal agencies.

The self-driving startup, which went public in 2021, highlighted a decline in its valuation and liquidity, coupled with a significant increase in stock price volatility since its initial public offering. In an announcement on Wednesday, TuSimple attributed these challenges to a rise in interest rates and heightened caution in the market due to macroeconomic uncertainties, impacting investor sentiment for pre-revenue technology companies like itself.

TuSimple anticipates its final day of trading on the U.S. stock exchange to be around Feb. 7. The San Diego-based company had previously disclosed restructuring plans in May, which included layoffs and asset impairments aimed at balancing its cost structure amid a funding crunch in the sector.

The company is currently transforming, and it believes that navigating this process is more feasible as a private firm rather than as a publicly traded one. TuSimple stated, “The benefits of remaining a publicly traded company no longer justify the costs.”

In the nine months ending on Sept. 30, TuSimple reported a loss from operations of $248.6 million, showing improvement from $341.7 million during the same period in 2022, Reuters teatatud. This improvement is attributed to the company’s efforts in reducing research and development costs and stock-based compensation for employees.

Before going public, the startup raised $120 million in funding to expand long-haul service for fleets and co-develop a commercial self-driving truck with OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers. Today, the U.S. trucking industry is estimated to be around $1 trillion.

2015. aastal Jianan Hao, Mo Cheni ja Xiaodi Hou poolt asutatud San Diegos asuv TuSimple on ülemaailmne isejuhtivate veoautode ettevõte. Startup arendab logistikatööstuse jaoks kommertsvalmis Level 4 (SAE) täielikult autonoomset sõidulahendust. TuSimple'i veokid on esimesed ja ainsad, mis on võimelised ise sõitma depoost depoosse ning teevad seda oma klientide heaks iga päev.
