"Given weak market conditions we expect that the company will IPO by the end of next year," a company spokesman said on Thursday after Syngenta reported its Q3 earnings.
The IPO update came as Syngenta, which competes with U.S. company Corteva (CTVA.N) and German firms BASF (BASFn.DE) and Bayer (BAYGn.DE), reported its latest earnings.
Syngenta, which recently announced a change of chief executive and chief financial officer, has been pursuing an IPO for nearly two and half years.
Syngenta was bought by ChemChina in 2017 for $43 billion and folded it into Sinochem Holdings Corp in 2021.
