The Shenzhen-listed courier giant, also known as SF Express, is working with Goldman Sachs Group Inc, Huatai Securities and JPMorgan Chase & Co on the offering, according to the report.

A listing could happen as soon as this year, the report said, adding that talks were ongoing and details of the listing including the fundraising amount and timing could still change.

SF Express, Goldman, Huatai and JPMorgan did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comment.
