Eight A-share firms raises US$10b from IPO in H1, more to come: HKEX

A total of eight A-share companies listed in Hong Kong in the first half of 2025, raising more than US$10 billion (HK$78 billion), according to a report by Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing (0388).

That helped boost the total fundraising amount from initial public offerings to US$14.1 billion in the first six months, up by nearly 700 percent year-on-year, the Hong Kong's Equity Capital Markets Landscape in H1 2025 report showed. The figure was US$4.8 billion more than the second leading exchange, it said, citing data from Dealogic.

The strong momentum has continued in the first weeks of July, with eight IPO listings in the first two weeks of the month, with many still being in the pipeline, the HKEX said.
