On July 2, Anker Innovations declined 4.15% in regular trading on its first day listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, trading at HK$90.5 per share with turnover of HK$590 million, breaking significantly below its IPO price of HK$99.32.
The stock opened essentially flat at HK$99.30 before sliding steadily lower, weighed down by lingering market concerns over a global recall of 2.27 million portable chargers due to product quality issues in mid-2025. The recall caused brand reputation damage and financial impairment charges. Despite the company securing 11 cornerstone investors committing a combined US$295 million and achieving 27.57x oversubscription on the Hong Kong public offering, investor sentiment remained cautious. Dark market trading prior to listing had already signaled weakness with prices dropping over 8%.
Additionally, analysts flagged structural risks including heavy revenue dependence on Amazon as a single platform, slow expansion of proprietary direct sales channels, supply chain vulnerabilities from a fully outsourced manufacturing model, and elevated inventory levels. The company raised approximately HK$4.52 billion in net proceeds through the global offering of 46.63 million H-shares.
