Semiconductor memory manufacturer Shenzhen Longsys Electronics Co. Ltd. (9976.HK; 301308.SZ) launched its Hong Kong IPO on Monday, aiming to sell 26.1 million shares for HK$240.60 each to raise HK$6.26 billion ($803 million). Subscriptions will close on Thursday, with a trading debut set for Sept. 8.
The company was the world’s ninth-largest memory manufacturer in 2025 by revenue with 1.2% of the market. It operates three main brands: Foresee, Zilia, and Lexar.

Longsys plans to allocate nearly 80% of its IPO proceeds to bolster its chip design and R&D for advanced memory products. Approximately 12% is earmarked for strategic investments or acquisitions, with the remaining 10% for working capital.
