WeWork pops more than 16% in morning trading.In March this year, WeWork announced that it had passed a contract with blank check companies BowX Acquisition Corp. Including debt, the deal values WeWork at about $9 billion.

In fact, as early as August 2019, WeWork formally submitted an IPO prospectus to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), announcing its listing intention. But at the end of September of the same year, WeWork withdrew its listing application.
