Didi Global shares gave back most of the 49 per cent jump in pre-market trading after the company denied a Wall Street Journal report that it was considering going private.
Didi closed up 11.2 per cent at US$9.86 on the New York Stock Exchange on Thursday after rising as much as 49 per cent to US$13.20 in pre-market trading.
The Journal reported on Thursday that the ride-hailing giant was considering going private to placate authorities in China and compensate investors for losses incurred since the company listed in the US in late June, citing people familiar with the matter.

However, Didi denied the report in a post on its official Weibo account, saying that it was “actively cooperating with cybersecurity reviews”.
The ride-hailing firm trades in New York as Didi Global, while operating in China as Didi Chuxing.
On July 16, a task force of seven Chinese ministries, including the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC), the public security ministry and the national security ministry, conducted an on-site investigation of Didi Chuxing’s offices in the country’s first-ever cybersecurity review.
