Midea Group Makes Strong Debut on Hong Kong Stock Exchange

Midea Group, a leading home appliance giant from Mainland China, made a successful debut on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, opening at 59.2 yuan, 8% higher than its initial public offering (IPO) price of 54.8 yuan.

• Closed at 59.1 yuan on its first day of listing, up nearly 8% from its IPO price
• Net fund raised was 30.67 billion yuan, with a total of 13,717 valid and accepted applications
• International offering was oversubscribed 7.1 times, with a winning rate of 100%

Midea Group’s strong performance on its first day of listing is a testament to its growing influence in the global home appliance market. The company’s IPO price was set at the upper limit of its IPO range, and its net fund raised was significantly higher than expected.

“Landing in the Hong Kong capital market will help accelerate Midea’s globalization process,” said Chairman and President Fang Hongbo at the listing ceremony. “In the future, we will continue to implement our four major strategies of technological leadership, user guidance, digital drive, and global breakthroughs with greater determination and courage to consolidate Midea’s global leading position as a technology company.”

Midea Group plans to use approximately 20% of its net funds for global R&D investment, 35% for continued investment in intelligent manufacturing systems and supply chain management upgrades, and 35% for improving global distribution channels and sales networks, as well as increasing overseas sales of its own brands. The remaining 10% will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.
