  "account": "Syngenta is aiming to raise at least US$66 billion in its planned Hong Kong listing, with advisers targeting a valuation of US$66 billion to US$88 billion. UBS and China International Capital Corp are marketing the agrochemicals group to investors at 15 to 20 times expected 2026 EBITDA. The offering is expected to be one of the largest global IPOs next year, reflecting Syngenta's focus on biotechnology and a strong product lineup in crop protection. Syngenta, controlled by Sinochem, plans to sell 10% to 20% of its shares and use the funds to reduce debt and invest in its core business. The IPO could take place before the end of 2026, with an early-2027 debut more likely. Hong Kong's IPO market is currently booming, with 118 companies raising over US$49.5 billion in the first nine months of 2026.",
  "summary": "ZURICH: Syngenta's advisers are targeting a valuation of at least US$66 billion in the Swiss-Chinese agrochemicals group's planned Hong Kong listing, which is likely to take place early next year, two people familiar with the matter told Reuters.",
