Nvidia Supplier Victory Giant Surges Up to 60% in Hong Kong Debut, Signalling Strong AI-Driven IPO Demand

HONG KONG, 21 April 2026 – Shares of Victory Giant Technology surged as much as 60% in their Hong Kong trading debut, marking one of the strongest IPO performances in the region this year and underscoring continued investor appetite for artificial intelligence (AI)-linked infrastructure plays.

Blockbuster Debut Backed by AI Demand

Victory Giant, a key supplier to Nvidia, raised approximately HK$20.1 billion (US$2.6 billion) in its listing, the largest in Hong Kong in about seven months.

The stock opened around HK$330, significantly above its offer price of HK$209.88, and climbed as high as HK$336 before easing slightly during the session.

The strong debut highlights sustained investor enthusiasm for companies positioned within the AI hardware supply chain, even as global markets remain volatile.

Oversubscription Signals Strong Investor Appetite

Demand for the IPO was exceptionally robust:

  • Retail tranche oversubscribed more than 430 times
  • International offering covered over 18 times

The company also exercised its upsize option, increasing the number of shares offered, a clear indication of strong institutional and retail demand.

Riding the AI Infrastructure Boom

Victory Giant manufactures printed circuit boards (PCBs) used in:

  • AI servers
  • High-performance computing systems
  • Data centre infrastructure

The company has rapidly climbed the value chain, becoming a tier-one supplier in Nvidia’s AI ecosystem, benefiting from explosive demand for computing power driven by generative AI and large-scale data centres.

Its financial performance reflects this momentum:

  • Revenue surged around 80% in 2025
  • Net profit also saw a significant jump

Hong Kong IPO Market Finds Momentum

Victory Giant’s listing comes at a critical time for Hong Kong’s capital markets, which have faced subdued activity in recent years.

The strong debut suggests:

  • Renewed investor confidence in large-scale tech listings
  • Growing interest in AI-related companies
  • Potential revival of Hong Kong’s IPO pipeline

Analysts note that AI-linked firms are currently commanding premium valuations, as investors seek exposure to the infrastructure layer of the AI boom, rather than just end-user applications.
