DTECH launches HKD4.7B Hong Kong IPO at HKD380 per share
DTECH (01377.HK), a printed circuit board drill bit tool supplier, launched its Hong Kong initial public offering Monday, seeking to raise as much as HKD4.67 billion in net proceeds.
"The IPO attracted strong cornerstone interest from leading institutional investors," the company said in its listing document. Seventeen cornerstone investors, including VGT (02476.HK), Hillhouse Capital's HHLR Advisors, Aspex Master Fund, Kingboard Investments — a unit of Kingboard Holdings (00148.HK) — E Fund and Taikang Life, have collectively subscribed for shares worth about USD254 million.
The company plans to globally offer 12.632 million H shares, with the Hong Kong public offering accounting for about 10% and the international placing about 90%. The maximum offer price is HKD380 per share, with a board lot of 100 shares requiring an entry fee of about HKD38,383. The subscription period runs from June 30 to July 6, with pricing expected July 7.
DTECH supplies precision drill bits and routing tools used in PCB manufacturing, a critical component for electronics ranging from smartphones to data center servers. The listing on Hong Kong's Main Board will test investor appetite for niche industrial suppliers amid a global semiconductor supply chain realignment. The pricing gives the company a market capitalization of roughly HKD48 billion at the top end, with first-day trading on July 9 set to gauge institutional demand for the sector.
