Chinese Memory Chipmaker CXMT Shares Surge in Shanghai Debut After Largest Asia IPO
Chinese memory chipmaker CXMT debuted on the Shanghai Stock Exchange with shares surging around 470-500%, briefly becoming China's most valuable listed company. The IPO raised over 66 billion yuan (approximately $9.8 billion), marking Asia's largest semiconductor offering this year. CXMT, the world's fourth-largest DRAM producer, benefits from rising AI-driven demand and China's push for semiconductor self-reliance amid global chip shortages and export restrictions. The strong retail investor interest and limited share float contributed to the sharp price gains on debut.
