Zhongji Innolight Secures Strong Backing Ahead of Potential US$8 Billion Hong Kong IPO
中际旭创获30多家基石投资者支持，拟赴港上市融资80亿美元
据知情人士透露，中国光模块制造商中际旭创（Zhongji Innolight）已获得30多家基石投资者认购，即将进行的香港首次公开募股（IPO）获得强劲支持。作为全球领先的高速光收发模块（Optical Transceivers）供应商，中际旭创的产品广泛应用于人工智能（AI）数据中心。目前，其IPO基础发行股份中，接近一半已被长期机构投资者认购，包括贝莱德（BlackRock）、淡马锡控股（Temasek Holdings）以及加拿大养老基金投资委员会（CPPIB）等国际知名机构。中际旭创计划于7月30日启动香港IPO，目标融资约80亿美元。若顺利完成，这将成为香港自阿里巴巴2019年融资129亿美元以来规模最大的IPO，也显示出资本市场对AI产业链企业的持续看好。
Chinese optical transceiver manufacturer Zhongji Innolight has secured commitments from more than 30 cornerstone investors ahead of its planned Hong Kong initial public offering (IPO), according to people familiar with the deal.
The company, a leading supplier of high-speed optical transceivers used in AI data centres, has already allocated nearly half of its base share offering to major long-term institutional investors. These include BlackRock, Temasek Holdings, and the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB).
Zhongji Innolight is expected to officially launch its IPO on July 30, with a fundraising target of US$8 billion. If successful, the listing would become Hong Kong’s largest IPO since Alibaba’s US$12.9 billion share sale in 2019, highlighting renewed investor enthusiasm for AI-related companies.
The strong demand from cornerstone investors reflects growing confidence in the company’s role within the rapidly expanding AI infrastructure market. Optical transceivers are critical components that enable high-speed data transmission between servers and networking equipment in large-scale AI data centres, where demand continues to surge worldwide.
The participation of globally recognized asset managers and sovereign wealth funds also provides an important vote of confidence in the IPO, potentially attracting additional institutional and retail investors as the offering moves forward.
