What happened

CXMT overtook Tencent to become China's most valuable listed company, at a $524B market cap, 17 days after its own IPO. The rally is attributed to strong investor demand for AI-linked names generally — the same HBM/DRAM shortage story (Memory Squeeze) and the Apple sourcing-test angle logged 08-09 below.
