- Baidu AI Chip Unit Files for Hong Kong IPO, Targets Up to $2 Billion
Jan 7, 2026
This article first appeared on GuruFocus.
Baidu Inc. (NASDAQ:BIDU) is edging closer to a potential Hong Kong listing for its artificial-intelligence chip unit, after Kunlunxin hired banks to prepare for an initial public offering that could raise as much as $2 billion, according to people familiar with the matter. The lead banks include China International Capital Corp., Citic Securities Co. and Huatai Securities Co., with China Securities International also involved, the people said. Deliberations are still ongoing, and the final size of the deal could change, with some scenarios pointing to a raise closer to $1 billion. Baidu said on Jan. 2 that Kunlunxin had confidentially filed for the IPO last week, while company and bank representatives either declined to comment or did not respond to inquiries.

Kunlunxin designs chips that power servers in data centers and was formed partly to meet Baidu's own growing demand for computing power across its online businesses. The unit is among a limited group of Chinese companies capable of developing advanced AI accelerators, a capability that could be increasingly relevant as Beijing pushes for technological self-reliance. Alongside companies such as Huawei Technologies Co. and Cambricon Technologies Corp., Kunlunxin is viewed as potentially contributing to efforts to reduce China's reliance on US technology, including chips supplied by Nvidia Corp.
The timing of the planned offering aligns with strong investor interest in AI-related listings in Hong Kong, where the sector is seen as strategically important by Chinese policymakers. Shanghai Biren Technology Co.'s shares rose 76% on their Hong Kong debut last week, while other AI companies that listed on mainland exchanges late last year recorded triple-digit gains on their first trading day. Against that backdrop, Kunlunxin's potential IPO could be closely watched as another signal of capital-market support for China's domestic AI chip ambitions.

- Chinese AI server leader xFusion hires investment bank in first step toward listing
Jan 7, 2026
SHANGHAI, Jan 7 (Reuters) - China's leading AI server provider xFusion has hired Citic Securities in preparation for an initial public offering, regulatory disclosure showed, adding the Huawei spin-off to a list of tech firms tapping investor fervour for AI.
The Henan province-based company signed an agreement with Citic on Dec. 31 for the IPO "tutoring" process - essentially training its executives in the finer details of an IPO - from January to April or May, showed a filing on the website of the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) on Wednesday.
In China, xFusion is the top AI server provider with sales exceeding 40 billion yuan ($5.72 billion) in 2024, the Henan government website showed.
Authorities have fast-tracked IPOs in the AI and chipmaking sectors to strengthen domestic alternatives to advanced U.S. technology in response to U.S. curbs on high-tech exports.
AI chipmakers including Shanghai Biren Technology, Moore Threads Technology and MetaX Integrated Circuits have listed in Shanghai or Hong Kong in recent weeks and there are more in the pipeline.
Biren jumped 76% on its first day of trading in Hong Kong on Friday, while Moore Threads and MetaX soared 400% and 700% respectively when they debuted in Shanghai last month.
Feverish demand for AI-related stocks helped push the CSI AI Index up 67% in 2025.
On its website, xFusion said it is a leading global provider of computing infrastructure and services, with presence in over 100 countries and regions and customers in industries as varied as telecom, finance, transportation and the internet.
It was valued at nearly $9 billion in 2023 by consultancy Greatwall Strategy Consultants, the government website showed.
XFusion was spun off from U.S.-blacklisted Huawei in 2021. Its shareholders include China Telecom Group Investment and China Mobile Capital Holding, local media reported.

- Baidu’s AI Chip Arm Kunlunxin Is Said to Pick Banks for $2 Billion Hong Kong IPO
Jan 7, 2026

(Bloomberg) -- Baidu Inc.’s artificial-intelligence chip unit has hired banks for an initial public offering in Hong Kong that may raise as much as $2 billion, according to people familiar with the matter.
Kunlunxin has picked China International Capital Corp., Citic Securities Co. and Huatai Securities Co. as lead banks on the IPO, the people said, asking not to be identified because the information is private. China Securities International is also working on the potential offering, they said.

Deliberations are ongoing and details such as the IPO size may change, the people said, noting that the number could also be about $1 billion.
A Baidu spokesperson didn’t respond to email requests for comment. China Securities, CICC and Huatai also didn’t respond, and Citic declined to comment.
Kunlunxin, which makes chips that power servers in data centers, confidentially filed for the IPO last week, Baidu said on Jan. 2.
AI-related companies are going public in Hong Kong to tap investor demand for a sector deemed strategic by Beijing as it pushes for technological self-reliance. AI chip designer Shanghai Biren Technology Co.’s shares jumped 76% on their Hong Kong debut last week, while others that listed on mainland Chinese exchanges at the end of last year posted triple-digit first-day gains.
Kunlunxin was created in part to sate Baidu’s appetite for computing power to run its online businesses, and it is one of a few Chinese companies capable of designing the powerful accelerators essential for AI operations. Along with firms like Huawei Technologies Co. and Cambricon Technologies Corp., Kunlunxin is likely to be central to Beijing’s effort to wean the country off US technology such as Nvidia Corp. chips.

- China Investment Bank CICC to Acquire Two Smaller Rivals
Nov 20, 2025
(Bloomberg) -- China International Capital Corp. plans to acquire two smaller brokerages as the nation seeks to strengthen its securities industry to better compete with global banking giants.
CICC, one of China’s top brokerages, proposed share-swap merger with Dongxing Securities Co. and Cinda Securities Co., which have a combined market value of 100 billion yuan ($14 billion). Details on the share swap and pricing weren’t announced.

The deal will support financial market reforms and promote the development of the securities industry, the Beijing-based firm said in a statement late Wednesday.
In total, the three firms sit on combined assets of just more than 1 trillion yuan, making it China’s fourth largest following Citic Securities Co., Guotai Haitong Securities Co. and Huatai Securities Co. Still, that’s less than one 10th of Goldman Sachs Group Inc.’s assets.
Beijing is trying to build first-class domestic investment banks capable of standing up to global heavyweights such as Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley. The merger aims to fast-track the creation of a world-class firm, boosting the securities industry’s growth, and better serve national strategies, CICC said.
Trading of all three will be suspended in Shanghai and the pause is expected to last no more than 25 days, as the planned merger is relatively complex, according to the statements. CICC will also halt trading in Hong Kong.
China had been mulling combining its largest state-run investment banks for years, but progress was slow until President Xi Jinping in 2023 urged regulators to form a few top-ranked brokerages. The securities watchdog also voiced its support for consolidation, with a goal of having two to three banks that can compete globally by 2035.
The deal would be the second big merger after Guotai Junan Securities Co. and Haitong Securities Co. last year unveiled a combination to create a larger state-backed brokerage.
The development is igniting optimism in the sector, with a Bloomberg gauge of mainland listed brokerages shares rising as much as 2.1% and Hong Kong-listed peers gaining 3.4%. Capital Securities Co. and Orient Securities Co. jumped as much as 9.1% and 4.7%, respectively, to lead gains in Shanghai.
China’s brokerage industry had been reeling from a deal slump in recent years, before a stock rally and recovery in share sales this year lifted earnings. Nine-month net income more than doubled from a year earlier for CICC, and jumped more than 50% for Dongxing and Cinda, according to their latest filings.
Story Continues
Consolidating
The latest merger would also further consolidate brokerages under Central Huijin Investment Ltd., an arm of sovereign fund China Investment Corp. Central Huijin is the largest shareholder of CICC with a 40.1% stake, and the ultimate controller of Dongxing and Cinda via shareholding by its units.
That means the deal will likely go through “rather quickly,” Morgan Stanley analysts led by Chiyao Huang wrote in a note late Wednesday. The merger would strengthen CICC’s wealth management franchise and capital base, they said.
By combining complementary strengths and resources, CICC aims to achieve economies of scale, boost efficiency and create a more diversified and competitive financial services platform, the company said. The restructuring plan remains subject to approval by the three parties and relevant regulators, and there is still uncertainty over whether it will ultimately proceed, it said.
CICC is one of China’s top investment banks for debut stock sales in Hong Kong, ranking No. 1 for IPOs in the city this year, data compiled by Bloomberg show. At home, competition is fierce and the firm hasn’t claimed the top spot for IPOs since 2018.
Founded in 1995, CICC operates across securities, foreign exchange, and asset management. Dongxing and Cinda Securities, both established in the 2000s, bring strong retail and institutional brokerage capabilities as well as extensive experience in underwriting, proprietary trading, and fund management, according to the statement.
Dongxing Securities is a subsidiary of China Orient Asset Management Co. while Cinda Securities is a unit of China Cinda Asset Management Co.

- China's Unitree Robotics completes pre-IPO tutoring for onshore listing
Nov 17, 2025
Unitree Robotics, one of China's leading humanoid robot manufacturers, has completed its pre-initial public offering (IPO) tutoring process in only four months, a major step towards an onshore listing amid Beijing's push for technological self-reliance and advancement, according to government documents.
The Hangzhou-based unicorn passed regulatory checks with the Zhejiang Securities Regulatory Bureau, concluding a pre-listing tutoring period that began on July 18, the China Securities Regulatory Commission's website showed.
Citic Securities, the top investment bank in China by underwriting revenue and Unitree's tutoring institution, helped the start-up determine the fundraising amount for its IPO and drafted an investment plan for the capital to be raised, according to the document dated November 10.

The filing did not specify the fundraising target or listing timeline.
Unitree is aiming for a valuation of up to US$7 billion in a listing on Shanghai's Nasdaq-style Star Market, according to a Reuters report in September. The company previously said it planned to file a formal IPO application between October and December.
To facilitate the public stock offering, Unitree transitioned from a limited liability company to a joint-stock limited company, according to records from the corporate database Qichacha published on May 29.
Citic confirmed in its filing that Unitree had established the necessary corporate governance structure and accounting foundations required for a listed firm.
China's IPO tutoring period typically lasted between six and 12 months, according to Shen Meng, director at Beijing-based investment firm Chanson & Co. Unitree's completion of this process within just four months signalled strong government support for the technology and innovation sector.
"Some tech companies are receiving exceptional government support, as policymakers have made it clear that they aim to build an economic growth model based on high-quality productive forces anchored in innovation," Shen said.
"Technology has become a core element in the global competition for national prowess."

Story Continues
China has emphasised technological self-reliance and strengthening as a central goal in its 15th five-year plan for 2026 to 2030 amid intensifying rivalry with the US. It marks the first time in at least a decade that tech independence has received such prominence in Beijing's development blueprint.
Founded in 2016 by Wang Xingxing, Unitree focuses on creating innovative robotic solutions for consumer and industrial markets. Its products include humanoid robots, quadrupeds and advanced perception systems designed for a wide range of applications.
The company has raised a total of US$263.6 million, which includes a 700 million yuan (US$99 million) Series C round completed in June, according to the corporate database Tianyancha. It also increased its registered capital to 2.9 million yuan from 2.6 million yuan, according to data from June.
Unitree's backers include ShouCheng Holdings, a Hong Kong-listed car park operator under state-owned steel producer Shougang Group, which has also invested in other robotics-related companies such as Deep Robotic, according to a filing with the Hong Kong stock exchange last week.
