Sign InIn a move reflecting Beijing's push for technological independence, CXMT, China's leading DRAM chipmaker, received final approval for a CNY 29.5 billion IPO on Shanghai's Star Market. This listing marks the largest IPO in mainland China since 2022 and the second-largest ever on the Star Market. The company plans to issue 10.6 billion shares to expand its production capacity and strengthen China's self-sufficiency in the critical memory chip sector.
This massive IPO comes as Chinese brokerages, including China Merchants Securities (600999.HK) and Huaan Securities, ramp up activity to support tech listings. In comparison to global peers, CXMT aims to narrow the gap with giants like Samsung and Micron, supported by China's third national semiconductor fund recently valued at 344 billion yuan per industry reports. According to market data, peer financial firm Huatai Securities (6886.HK) closed at HKD 17.42 on June 16, 2026.
Investors should watch the price levels of 6886.HK, which saw a high of 17.57 and a low of 17.12 (at close June 16, 2026) as a proxy for market sentiment regarding IPO-linked financial services. Upcoming catalysts include the ECB Interest Rate Decision on June 11, 2026, and US Producer Price Index (PPI) data, which could influence global risk appetite and capital flows into emerging market tech sectors.
