Quhuo Ltd, a Chinese workforce operational solutions platform, has announced significant changes to its American Depositary Shares (ADS) ratio and strategic partnerships, leading to a halt in its ADR trading. The company, currently listed on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol "QH," will implement a 1-for-90 reverse ADS split, effective August 25, 2025, pending regulatory approval [1].

The ADS ratio change, which functions as a reverse ADS split, will see each ADS representing 900 Class A ordinary shares instead of ten. This move aims to stabilize the stock's trading price and potentially address its current undervaluation, given that it is trading at just 0.14 times book value despite operational challenges [1].

Additionally, Quhuo has filed a post-effective amendment to its ADS Registration Statement on Form F-6 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to reflect the ratio change. The company will continue trading under the symbol "QH" but with a new CUSIP number. No fractional ADSs will be issued during the exchange, and any aggregate fractions will be sold with net proceeds distributed to entitled ADS holders after deducting fees, taxes, and expenses [1].

In other recent news, Quhuo Limited announced a strategic partnership with NIU World to establish a chain brand incubation platform focused on fresh beef in China. This partnership aims to create a vertically integrated supply chain ecosystem that spans from slaughterhouses to end-user dining and retail channels. The collaboration is part of Quhuo’s efforts to expand its operations and enhance its market presence [1].

The Carlyle Group, a global private equity and alternative asset manager, also experienced market volatility. On August 20, 2025, the firm’s $220M trading volume ranked 459th, alongside a 1.98% stock price decline. Despite a 31.52% total return over 365 days from 2022 to 2025, the strategy showed high volatility, with September 2022 recording a -4.20% loss. The Carlyle Group’s investment strategy spans four segments, focusing on leveraged buyouts, distressed assets, and growth capital across sectors such as industrial, healthcare, technology, and real estate [2].

Global markets remain flat amid ongoing Ukraine talks and ahead of the Jackson Hole meeting on August 18. The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended higher after UnitedHealth gains, while other indexes slipped. Blank check companies, including Talon Capital Corp and Cantor Equity Partners V, filed for IPOs, and several companies received Nasdaq notices for non-compliance with equity requirements [3].
