Four Chinese firms seek to raise up to S$2.33 billion in Hong Kong offerings

The offerings come as Hong Kong’s market for initial public offerings and secondary listings continues to strengthen.

Four Chinese companies are planning to raise up to a total of HK$14.35 billion, equivalent to S$2.33 billion, through various listings in Hong Kong. According to exchange filings, the largest contributor to this fundraising effort is automation equipment manufacturer RoboTechnik Intelligent Technology. The company plans to issue 11.9 million shares, offering them at a price of up to HK$436 per share, in order to raise approximately HK$5.18 billion.

According to Reuters, RoboTechnik aims to list its shares on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, with a planned launch date of September 21 and an expected market debut on September 29.

The company specializes in creating equipment for photovoltaic cell manufacturing and assembly, as well as testing systems for silicon photonics devices utilized in optical interconnects for data centers and artificial intelligence infrastructure. In addition to RoboTechnik, Shenzhen-listed printed circuit board manufacturer Shenzhen Kinwong Electronic and materials producer Red Avenue New Materials are planning to raise up to HK$5.10 billion and HK$3 billion through secondary share sales, respectively.

Precision motor solutions provider Direct Drive Tech will also be raising HK$1.08 billion in an initial public offering.

All four companies' shares are anticipated to begin trading on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on September 29. The increasing popularity of initial public offerings and secondary listings in Hong Kong is evident in the market, which has seen a significant rise in deal activity. As of September, deals have raised approximately US$45.8 billion, compared to US$24 billion in the same period last year, 2025.
