Momenta Launches Hong Kong IPO Seeking HK$5.89 Billion

The company says the proceeds will fund autonomous‑driving research to accelerate Robotaxi commercialisation and support its shift from ADAS to driverless services.

Overview

  • Momenta launched its Hong Kong IPO on Monday, targeting up to HK$5.89 billion through an offer of 19.9 million shares at HK$295.60 each with allocation results due July 7 and trading expected to begin July 8.
  • The IPO prospectus shows 2025 revenue of 2.41 billion yuan, up 82% year‑on‑year, alongside a wider attributable net loss of 3.46 billion yuan, underlining the capital needs of moving from driver‑assistance software to commercial Robotaxi services.
  • The company disclosed it will concentrate most proceeds on R&D and Robotaxi rollout, reporting planned allocations that channel the bulk of funds toward developing Level‑4 driving systems and scaling commercial operations.
  • Reported cornerstone and anchor investors include Mercedes‑Benz, BlackRock, Boyu Capital, GIC and Fidelity International, reflecting deep ties to automakers and institutional backers as Momenta expands overseas.
  • Momenta runs ADAS software in hundreds of thousands of cars, is opening a German research hub and plans a Level‑4 pilot with Uber, making the IPO a test of investor appetite for funding costly international Robotaxi pilots and wider commercialization.
