On September 29, ROBOTECHNIK fell 4.45% in regular trading on its first day listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, trading at 412.8 HKD/share with turnover of HKD 251 million, breaking well below its IPO price of HKD 436 per share.
The company priced its global offering at HKD 436 per H-share — the fifth-highest IPO price in Hong Kong history — raising approximately HKD 4.96 billion in net proceeds from the sale of 11.876 million H-shares. However, signs of pricing pressure emerged early: grey market trading on September 28 already showed a decline of roughly 1.83%. Subscription levels were moderate, with Hong Kong public offering oversubscribed 8.65 times and international placement only 5.97 times, reflecting cautious institutional appetite.
Fundamentally, while the company reported first-half revenue of RMB 608 million, up 144.82% year-over-year, net profit attributable to shareholders was only RMB 6.56 million. The H-share IPO price represented an approximately 34% discount to its Shenzhen-listed A-shares, yet appeared insufficient to attract strong demand given the thin profitability relative to its over-RMB 100 billion market capitalization.
