On July 7th, official filings revealed that Changxin Technologies (also known as CXMT), a leading domestic DRAM memory chip manufacturer, has officially begun the IPO process. The company has engaged CM Capital and CSC Financial as its sponsors for the listing. Established in 2016, CXMT is primarily focused on the research, development, design, manufacturing, and sales of Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) products. The company boasts a significant registered capital of 60.19 billion yuan.
Notably, ahead of its public offering, CXMT has secured multiple rounds of substantial funding. According to publicly available market data, its latest financing round in March 2024 valued the company at an impressive 150.8 billion yuan. As a rare domestic Integrated Device Manufacturer (IDM) in the storage chip sector, CXMT’s IPO journey is closely watched by the capital markets.
Public records highlight that CXMT has garnered significant backing from a constellation of prominent investors, including strategic investments from the National Integrated Circuit Industry Investment Fund (Big Fund). Furthermore, the company has attracted over a dozen top-tier investment institutions such as Alibaba, Tencent Investment, Yunfeng Capital, Sunshine Insurance, CCB Equity, PICC Capital, and the Greater Bay Area Homeland Development Fund. CXMT’s technological prowess, market standing, and mass production capabilities in the DRAM arena position it as one of China’s few semiconductor enterprises with genuine global competitiveness.
Industry analysts at TrendForce and Gartner project that the global DRAM market will surpass the $100 billion mark by 2025. China, as the world’s largest consumer of electronics and a massive demand driver for storage chips, presents a substantial opportunity for domestic substitution. Fueled by the burgeoning demands of next-generation computing, smart vehicles, and other advanced technologies, the storage chip industry is entering a new growth cycle. CXMT’s timing for its IPO launch amidst this upward market trend appears opportune, promising significant value creation for both the capital markets and its investors.
As a leading domestic DRAM player, CXMT holds a distinct market advantage. Its diversified product portfolio, coupled with years of dedicated engagement within the local market, has steadily enhanced its industry recognition. In the fiercely competitive semiconductor landscape, CXMT stands out as a uniquely valuable investment prospect.
Should its IPO proceed smoothly, CXMT is poised to become the first “Storage Chip Stock” listed on the A-shares market. This milestone is expected not only to reset industry valuation benchmarks but also to accelerate the growth trajectory of domestic chip manufacturing, providing a significant boost to the entire semiconductor ecosystem and the broader capital markets.
