CXMT Tops China's Mainland Market by Valuation

The offering raised $8.6 billion and drew demand 212 times the retail allotment as AI-driven memory shortages lifted the stock.

  • On July 27, ChangXin Memory Technologies shares surged 472% during their Shanghai debut, catapulting the DRAM chipmaker to the top of China's stock market by valuation.
  • The offering, worth up to 66.6 billion yuan, raised concerns it would drain funds from other Chinese technology stocks, prompting the China Securities Regulatory Commission to hold stabilization meetings.
  • Trading began at 49.50 yuan, a sharp increase from the 8.66 yuan sale price, lifting CXMT's market capitalization to 3.3 trillion yuan from US$85.5 billion during the IPO process.
  • Overtaking ICBC as China's most valuable company, CXMT faces high turnover potential; only 6.73% of its enlarged share capital is freely tradable at listing, magnifying price swings.
  • HSBC Qianhai Securities noted last week the massive offering could temporarily drain broader Chinese market liquidity, though historical technology listings suggested a rebound in sentiment could follow.
