China's top ride-hailing firm Didi Chuxing is leaning toward picking New York over Hong Kong for its initial public offering IPO), eyeing a valuation of at least US$100 billion via the float, two people with direct knowledge of the matter told Reuters.

Didi has also discussed the option of listing via a special-purpose acquisition company , multiple people said, referring to a blank-check firm with capital raised in a U.S. IPO that would then merge with a target. But they said the SPAC option was seen by Didi as less viable given its valuation target.A separate person close to Didi said the company is also considering a second listing in Hong Kong if its U.S. IPO takes place.

The people with knowledge of the matter spoke to Reuters on condition of anonymity as the information was confidential.
