ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) aims to raise approximately $10 billion in its upcoming IPO, marking the largest semiconductor public offering in China's history.
The company, a domestic producer of DRAM chips, will list on Shanghai’s STAR Market, seeking to secure around 57.9 billion yuan, equivalent to about $8.55 billion. This amount significantly exceeds CXMT's initial target of 29.5 billion yuan.
CXMT’s book-building process is set to begin on July 15, 2026, with shares expected to start trading on July 27. The funds raised will be allocated for enhancing production lines, advancing technology, and expanding capacities, which include the establishment of a new fabrication facility in Shanghai.
Founded in 2016, CXMT has rapidly ascended in the semiconductor space, capturing approximately 7.7% of the global DRAM market by 2025. The company’s revenue surged to CNY 55 billion, approximately $8 billion, largely driven by the growing demand from artificial intelligence infrastructure.
This IPO not only signifies a key milestone for CXMT but also shows China's efforts to bolster its semiconductor industry amid tightening U.S. export restrictions. The listing is expected to attract both institutional and retail investors, providing a direct channel to the burgeoning domestic semiconductor market.
