Shares of GIGADEVICE (03986) soared 16.30% during intraday trading on Friday, as investor sentiment surged around the company's connection to the upcoming IPO of ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT).
The rally followed a widely circulated article published late Thursday, detailing the entrepreneurial journey of Zhu Yiming, the founder and chairman of both GIGADEVICE and CXMT. The article highlighted how CXMT has grown into a national champion and a flag-bearer in breaking foreign monopolies in the memory chip sector. With CXMT positioned as an upcoming IPO candidate, the market appears to be re-evaluating the value of GIGADEVICE, given their shared leadership and strategic ties.
The report also recounted the early struggles of GIGADEVICE, including a hostile takeover attempt and a critical cash infusion from TusPark Ventures, which helped the company survive and eventually thrive. The renewed focus on Zhu Yiming's success story has evidently boosted confidence in GIGADEVICE's prospects.
