CXMT Replaces Tencent as World’s Most Valuable Chinese Company

CXMT’s stock rose 467% after its Shanghai debut and an MSCI index inclusion, while Tencent fell 1.2% as AI spending weighed on shares.

  • ChangXin Memory Technologies has become China's most valuable company, surpassing Tencent with a market capitalization of $524 billion compared to the internet giant's $510 billion as of Thursday.
  • Headquartered in Anhui, the chip manufacturer raised about $8.6 billion in its July 27 IPO, quickly becoming China's largest onshore-listed company and serving as a proxy trade for the country's semiconductor self-sufficiency push.
  • Meanwhile, Hong Kong-listed Tencent Holdings has seen shares fall more than 26 per cent this year, with the tech giant declining 4.5 per cent on Thursday amid pressure to catch up to rivals.
  • As the world's fourth-largest producer of dynamic random-access memory , CXMT's IPO provides "much more cash to spend for capex," Bernstein analysts wrote in a report on Wednesday.
  • MSCI began including the firm in the MSCI China All Shares Index on August 10, with Nomura projecting its global DRAM production share could rise to roughly 18% by 2028.
