GSM Eyes Hong Kong IPO at Up to $3 Billion Valuation

Vietnam's rising mobility star, GSM (Green and Smart Mobility), is preparing for a major debut on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. According to Reuters, the EV taxi firm—backed by VinFast founder Pham Nhat Vuong—could seek a valuation of up to $3 billion in a move that underscores the region's green transport ambitions.

Sources familiar with the matter suggest that GSM is interviewing investment banks to lead the IPO process, potentially as early as the first half of next year. The company has rapidly scaled its operations, deploying over 30,000 electric taxis and bikes in Vietnam since its launch. An international listing would provide the capital needed for its planned expansion into neighboring markets like Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia.

The Symbiosis with the VinFast Ecosystem

Until now, GSM has served as a vital captive customer for VinFast, absorbing a significant portion of its EV production. By securing independent funding through the $3 billion valuation IPO, the company aims to reduce its reliance on group-level financial arrangements and establish itself as a standalone regional mobility leader.
