Luxshare Precision Industry on Tuesday set the price for its Hong Kong listing at the top of the range it marketed, raising about HK$24.27 billion, equivalent to $3.09 billion. The Shenzhen-listed supplier designated an offer price of HK$63.28 per H-share and will issue 383.5 million shares as part of the placement.
In its prospectus, the company outlined how the net proceeds will be allocated. A primary focus is expanding manufacturing capacity across both its automotive and consumer electronics businesses. Luxshare also intends to direct funds toward upgrading factory automation with artificial intelligence-driven technologies, pursuing acquisitions, repaying existing debt and supporting working capital needs.
The firm noted that a substantial portion of the capital raised will be applied to growth in its automotive electronics operations, signaling a targeted move beyond its traditional consumer electronics base and deeper into the intelligent vehicle supply chain.
Luxshare has scheduled disclosure of international investor demand and final allocation results for July 8. Its H-shares are set to begin trading on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange at 9:00 a.m. local time on July 9.
Founded by Wang Laichun, Luxshare is a major supplier to Apple and manufactures a range of electronic devices. The company produces items including routers, wireless charging modules and video conferencing equipment.
