Tencent-backed Enflame to open up 188% in Shanghai debut after $912 million IPO

Tencent-backed Enflame to open up 188% in Shanghai debut after $912 million IPO

Chinese AI chipmaker Shanghai Enflame Technology experienced a remarkable 188% surge in its debut on the Shanghai market on Friday. The company, backed by Tencent, had raised 6.12 billion yuan ($912 million) through its initial public offering. The stock opened at 410 yuan, trading above its offer price of 142.18 yuan and reaching a peak of 475 yuan.

Enflame's successful listing is part of a surge of Chinese companies going public, aiming to supply AI computing chips, as the Chinese government seeks to develop home-grown alternatives to foreign suppliers like Nvidia. This AI chip startup is one of a group often referred to as the "four little GPU dragons," alongside Moore Threads, MetaX, and Biren Technology.
