SINGAPORE—China’s regulatory action against Didi Global Inc. threatens to impinge on the Chinese ride-hailing behemoth’s growth as it faces increasing competition at home and struggles to expand into new countries and new lines of business.
While the Beijing-based company’s U.S. initial public offering valued it recently at more than $67 billion, Didi faces a raft of challenges even as economies around the world bounce back from the pandemic. It is seeking to stay in the black after years of losses from burning cash to win customers. Didi reported a quarterly profit of about $800 million in the first three months of this year, most of that because of its market dominance and concentration in China. That commercial strength may now weigh on its prospects as the company comes under regulatory scrutiny at home, analysts say.
