Shares of CXMT, China’s largest memory chipmaker, shot skywards on Monday as they began trading in Shanghai in mainland China’s biggest initial public stock offering in recent years. CXMT’s shares surged 466 per cent in their first day of trading. The company has become the most valuable one listed on a mainland Chinese exchange, with an estimated market capitalisation of about 3.3 trillion yuan (more than US$487 billion). But that’s still smaller than those of South Korean and American memory chipmakers like Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix and Micron Technology.

CXMT is China’s biggest memory chipmaker and its debut comes amid an AI-driven demand boom that has boosted the stock price of its rivals Micron, Samsung and SK Hynix.
