Who's next? Investors guess which firms will exit US bourses

The record number of offers to take United States-listed Chinese companies private is stoking speculation on which stocks may be targeted next.

The list of candidates to abandon their US trading through buyouts include real-estate website SouFun Holdings Ltd and online cosmetics retailer Jumei International Holding Ltd, according to analysts at China International Capital Corp and JL Warren Capital.

Fourteen Chinese companies trading in the US have received offers to buy out shareholders since the start of April, the most ever in a single quarter, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
