KNOWLEDGE ATLAS (02513) experienced a significant intraday decline, with its stock price plummeting 5.05%. The sharp drop followed the company's announcement of plans to pursue a secondary listing on Shanghai's STAR Market.
The AI company's board approved a proposal to issue between 9.1 million and 38.8 million new A-shares, representing 2% to 8% of its post-issuance total share capital. The company aims to raise approximately RMB 15 billion from the offering, with RMB 12 billion earmarked for its AI foundation model project, RMB 2 billion for its MaaS platform, and RMB 1 billion for working capital.
Market participants interpreted the dual-listing push as signaling elevated capital needs despite the company's persistent net losses. KNOWLEDGE ATLAS reported an adjusted net loss of RMB 3.18 billion last year. The announcement triggered immediate selling pressure as investors weighed the potential dilution against the company's ongoing financial challenges and capital requirements for its ambitious AI development projects.
