Overview
- The company completed a secondary H-share offering that priced 383.5 million shares at HK$63.28 each to raise about HK$24.3 billion (roughly $3.1 billion), with Goldman Sachs and Citic Securities underwriting the deal.
- Trading began on Thursday, July 9, and the stock opened and closed below the offer price, falling about 5% in early trade and touching as much as a 9.6% intraday decline before finishing around HK$60.
- Around 90% of the placement was allocated to international investors and large cornerstone backers included Temasek-linked funds, GIC and the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority.
- Luxshare said it will use proceeds for overseas expansion, research and development, factory capacity and debt repayment as it seeks to reduce reliance on Apple, which accounts for roughly 70% of its revenue.
- The deal is read as a sign of renewed institutional interest in Chinese tech and manufacturing listings in Hong Kong while also highlighting investor selectivity and risks from a busy IPO calendar, volatile tech sentiment and large foreign allocations that could magnify price swings.
