Luxshare Precision Industry, a major Apple assembly partner, fell more than 5% in early trading on its first day in Hong Kong on Thursday after raising HK$24.27 billion, or $3.09 billion, through an initial public offering. The company priced the shares at HK$63.28 each, while the stock changed hands at HK$60 in early trade, according to CNBC.

The debut gives the Shenzhen-listed electronics manufacturer a second public trading venue as Hong Kong attracts a cluster of large Chinese technology and industrial listings. Luxshare has traded in Shenzhen since 2010, where its shares closed at 62.47 yuan on Wednesday, down 1.28%, CNBC reported.

For investors, the Hong Kong listing creates a separately traded line of shares priced in Hong Kong dollars, while the company remains listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. The offer price sets the level at which IPO investors bought into the Hong Kong deal; early trading below that price indicates the stock opened at a discount to the newly issued shares.

Apple exposure and broader electronics base

Luxshare is widely known for assembling Apple’s AirPods, but its business now spans components and assembly work across consumer electronics, automotive electronics, communications products and data-center-related equipment. PitchBook estimates that Apple contributes about 70% of Luxshare’s revenue.

The company reported revenue of 332.34 billion yuan for 2025, up from 268.79 billion yuan in 2024, according to its prospectus filed with Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing. Consumer electronics made up 79.5% of 2025 revenue, while automotive electronics contributed 11.8% and communications and data centers accounted for 7.4%, the prospectus showed.

That mix leaves Luxshare heavily tied to global consumer-device demand while also giving it exposure to automotive wiring, electronics and infrastructure-related markets. The prospectus said the company has used acquisitions to add capabilities linked to its main operations and may assess further acquisitions or strategic partnerships that could strengthen its business.

One recent transaction was in Europe. Luxshare raised its controlling shareholding in Leoni AG, the German automotive cable and wiring-harness specialist, to 74.9% as of April 2026, according to a Leoni press release cited by CNBC.

Family-controlled manufacturer joins IPO wave

Luxshare was founded in 2004 by Wang Laichun, who serves as chief executive. The company is public but remains family controlled, with Wang’s brother, Wang Laisheng, serving as vice chairman, according to CNBC.

The listing came during an active week for Hong Kong equity issuance. Luxshare joined autonomous-driving company Momenta and semiconductor foundry Nexchip among prominent market debuts, CNBC reported.

Hong Kong has been working to draw listings from mainland Chinese companies seeking international capital and a broader investor base. For issuers such as Luxshare, an additional listing can diversify funding channels and raise visibility with global investors, while trading performance still depends on demand for the shares, company fundamentals and wider market conditions.
