HKZhongji Innolight, a major Chinese producer of optical transceivers for AI data centers, experienced a decline in its share price upon its highly anticipated debut on the Hong Kong stock market. The company raised HK$53.4 billion through its initial public offering, achieving a market capitalization exceeding HK$1 trillion. However, its shares fell by up to 3% shortly after trading began, influenced by a broader global downturn in investor confidence toward AI-related stocks. The IPO was priced at HK$980 per share, below its upper limit of HK$1,010. Additionally, the company's shares in Shenzhen had previously declined by 16%, reducing the discount between its new H-shares and existing A-shares. In response, Innolight announced a buy-back plan worth up to 8 billion yuan to stabilize its stock value.
