Chinese data storage firm makes tepid Hong Kong debut after $900 million share sale

Shenzhen-based Longsys Electronics, a Chinese data storage company, had a modest debut on the Hong Kong stock exchange after raising approximately HK$7.08 billion ($903 million) through a share sale. The company’s shares traded slightly below their offering price of HK$236, closing at HK$235.8. This listing follows a trend of Chinese firms linked to the AI industry raising capital in Hong Kong. Longsys plans to use the funds primarily for expanding research and development in chip design and advanced memory technologies. The company reported significant financial growth, with net profits increasing over 260 times compared to the same period in 2025, attributed to rising demand for data storage solutions driven by AI infrastructure and data center investments. Despite a decline in sales volume due to high raw material costs and supply constraints, revenue increased by 136.3% year-on-year.
