原文

The hotly-anticipated stock market listing of WeWork's parent firm may be delayed until the end of the year with investor interest appearing to falter.

We Company was due to begin marketing the office sharing firm to investors this week, with the flotation set to take place as early as this month.

But concerns have mounted over what the firm, once valued at $47bn (£37.8bn), is worth.

On Monday, We Company said it planned to complete the listing by December.
