the gpu maker just went back to the atm. biren is placing 130 million new h-shares at 31.08 hkd to raise about 4.04 billion, three months after listing, while the last round's buyers sit 33 percent underwater, per oct 10 disclosure.
the raise is now a round-trip.
Context
Shanghai Biren Technology is placing 130 million new H shares at HK$31.08 to raise about HK$4.04 billion, per TipRanks and IFR, subject to listing approval. Bloomberg reported on Oct 8 that this is about US$515 million, and the SCMP says the shares fell more than 12 percent on the news.
Bloomberg frames it as part of a fundraising spree by Chinese AI companies.
The 130 million shares, HK$31.08 and HK$4.04 billion match the sources. The three months since listing and the 33 percent loss for the last round's buyers were not seen in the excerpts read, so unsupported here, not refuted. The first reports are dated Oct 7 and 8, not Oct 10.
'the raise is now a round-trip' is the author's opinion.
