Kioxia Holdings Corp’s plan to float American depositary shares (ADSs) is setting the company’s much sought-after stocks up for a liquidity boost, tapping into the global fervor over memory chips to expand its investor base.The company is preparing to list the ADSs on a US stock exchange, it said in a release on Friday, saying the move would help raise corporate value. Details such as the schedule and method are as yet undetermined and the company might end up not pursuing the listing, according to the release. ADSs make the actual shares available for trading, making arbitrage cheaper than in the case of depositary receipts, which Kioxia already has.Kioxia shares have surged more than 300 percent this year, a notable gain among major global stocks, and giving the company a market value of US$176.8 billion.
