Kioxia Holdings Corporation: memory chips spin-off from Toshiba
SK Hynix has raised $26.5bn by selling 177.9m American depositary receipts at $149 each, in the largest-ever US share sale by a foreign company. Its ADRs have begun trading on Nasdaq under temporary ticker SKHYV and will convert to SKHY; the company is using proceeds to expand fabs, packaging and EUV capacity as AI-driven memory demand surges.
Luxshare Precision Industry plans to raise up to HK$24.3 billion in a Hong Kong share sale, pricing shares at HK$63.28, as it expands beyond Apple and strengthens its position in automotive electronics and data centers. The IPO follows a wave of Hong Kong listings this week and reflects a push to diversify revenue sources.
Memory-chip stocks have surged on AI demand but face a sharp pullback as investors reassess valuations and the U.S. listing gap for SK Hynix widens, with analysts expecting volatility to persist into the next quarter.
