Key Takeaways:
ZJ Innolight raised additional net proceeds of nearly HK$7.94 billion after its sponsor fully exercised the over-allotment option on Aug 26.
The exercise, covering 8.175 million H shares or about 15 percent of the total offering, came as the stabilizing period for the global offering ended the same day, according to the company's exchange filing. Goldman Sachs (Asia), the stabilizing manager, bought 3.2451 million H shares in the market at prices from HK$880.5 to HK$971 each and sold the same 3.2451 million H shares at prices from HK$987 to HK$1,319 each during the period. The shares were priced at HK$980 apiece in the offering, with the greenshoe representing roughly 15 percent of the total deal size.
The full exercise reflects strong institutional demand for the optical-module maker, whose shares rose 3.842 percent on the announcement day with short selling of HK$63.66 million, a 9.489 percent ratio. ZJ Innolight reported interim net profit up 2.4 times to RMB13.651 billion and declared an interim dividend of RMB12 per 10 shares, with growth tied to AI and data-center infrastructure spending.
The interim results, released alongside the stabilization update, show net profit more than doubling year over year as AI-related demand lifted optical module shipments. The dividend of RMB12 per 10 shares reflects management's confidence in sustained cash generation.
ZJ Innolight, a leading optical communications and module supplier, is a direct beneficiary of rising AI data-center infrastructure spending, which has driven demand for high-speed optical transceivers. The company's Hong Kong listing, priced at HK$980 per share, drew strong institutional interest, as reflected in the full exercise of the greenshoe. The proceeds will support capacity expansion and working capital as the company scales output for hyperscale cloud customers.
The additional capital strengthens ZJ Innolight's balance sheet as it scales production for AI data-center demand. Investors will watch the company's next earnings update for segment margins and order visibility.
