Alibaba Discloses T-Head’s Hong Kong Listing Application

Alibaba disclosed a confidential listing application for its T-Head chip unit. The proposed spin-off is subject to approvals and final terms.

Hong Kong, 12 November 2026 – Alibaba Group Holding Limited disclosed on 10 November that its chip subsidiary, T-Head (Shanghai) Technology Co., Ltd., had applied confidentially for a separate listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. T-Head submitted its application on 11 September, after the exchange confirmed that Alibaba could proceed with the proposed spin-off process. The companies have not announced an offer size, a price range or a listing date, and the application still needs formal approvals.

The disclosure gives Asian investors a possible route to invest directly in a Chinese data-centre chip business that is now wholly owned by Alibaba. A separate listing could make T-Head easier to value on its own, while Alibaba expects to retain it as a subsidiary. Neither the ownership percentage after the sale nor the amount the offering could raise has been finalised. Permission to pursue the spin-off is not approval to list the shares.
