CREALITY surges 36% on debut as HK IPO opens at 80% premium
CREALITY (03388.HK) closed midday at HK$25.62 on its debut, up 36.3% from the listing price of HK$18.8.
The stock opened at HK$33.88, an 80.2% premium to the offer price, before swinging between a session high of HK$34 and a low of HK$22.54, according to exchange data. More than 26.48 million shares changed hands, generating turnover of HK$777.02 million.
The strong first-day performance reflects robust demand for the Hong Kong Main Board listing, with the opening price implying an immediate 80% gain for allocated investors. The stock's midday close at HK$25.62 still represents a substantial premium over the IPO price despite paring earlier gains.
The debut comes as Hong Kong's IPO market shows signs of renewed activity after a prolonged downturn. A strong first-day pop typically signals healthy institutional demand and may encourage other companies to proceed with listing plans. Investors will watch whether the stock can hold above the HK$22.54 intraday low in afternoon trading, as sustained price support would indicate continued buyer interest.
