"The simultaneous launch of weekly and monthly options provides investors with more choices from day one," HKEX said in a statement.

HKEX will introduce weekly and monthly options on ZJ INNOLIGHT shares on the listing date. Derivative warrants linked to the stock may also debut on Thursday, while the shares will be included in designated securities eligible for short selling immediately.

The listing gives investors direct exposure to China's optical module sector, a key component in data center and telecommunications infrastructure. First-day trading will test institutional demand for the newly listed stock.

ZJ INNOLIGHT specializes in optical transceivers and modules used in data communications and telecommunications networks. The company's listing on the Main Board comes as demand for optical components rises with the expansion of AI data centers and 5G infrastructure globally.

The pricing will determine ZJ INNOLIGHT's enterprise value relative to peers in the optical components sector. Investors will watch first-day trading volume and price action to gauge institutional demand for the newly listed stock.
