GPIXEL (03277) saw its shares rise more than 9% before noon. As of the latest update, the stock was up 7.4%, trading at HK$78.4 with a turnover of HK$128 million. Public information indicates that since its establishment in 2012, GPIXEL has consistently focused on the research and development of high-performance CMOS image sensors, making it one of the few domestic manufacturers that have long specialized in high-end CIS and achieved a global breakthrough. Based on 2024 revenue, the company ranks third in the global industrial imaging CIS market with a 15.2% share and also holds the third position in the global scientific imaging CIS market with a 16.3% share, placing it within the top tier of global high-end CIS providers.

Notably, GPIXEL recently announced on its official website that it will collaborate with Leica Camera to jointly develop next-generation high-performance imaging-grade CMOS image sensors. This is viewed as a landmark event in breaking the long-standing Japanese technological dominance in the precision imaging field. Furthermore, Leica, as a century-old optics brand, has maintained a closed supply chain with stringent requirements for imaging quality. This partnership signifies that GPIXEL's technical capabilities have gained recognition from a top-tier international imaging manufacturer, serving as strong evidence of its technological barriers.
