Ligent Plans $723 Million Hong Kong IPO — 6dLigent Technologies plans a Hong Kong IPO to raise about HK$5.67 billion (roughly US$723 million) by offering 172 million shares at HK$32.96, with cornerstone investors and Hisense retaining a stake post-IPO, and aims to list on September 22 to fund R&D, expansion, and general corporate purposes as demand from data centers and cloud computing drives growth.

The company intensified its R&D, spending about 121 billion yuan (roughly $18.1 billion), near a quarter of revenue, to expand AI, chips, and domestic tech amid sanctions and memory-cost pressures on its consumer business.

Tom Gallagher Memory costs squeezing the consumer business is the real story here, not the R&D spend. Component prices are hurting everyone right now.
