China's CXMT Plans Up to $9.8 Billion IPO to Expand DRAM Production
Chinese memory chipmaker ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) is set to launch an initial public offering (IPO) on Shanghai's STAR Market on July 27, aiming to raise about $8.6 billion, potentially up to $9.8 billion with overallotment. The IPO, China's largest since 2010, reflects strong but comparatively moderate investor demand amid a global semiconductor selloff. CXMT, China's largest DRAM producer and the world's fourth-largest by capacity, plans to use proceeds for capacity expansion and technology advancement to compete with global leaders Samsung, SK hynix, and Micron. Analysts note CXMT aims to increase its global market share from 9% to 11% by 2028, with a 15% share seen as critical for sustainable growth.
