Timeline →Ligent raises HKD 5.67 billion for optical R&D and capacity
Ligent Technologies completed its Hong Kong listing after raising HKD 5.67 billion. Reuters reports that about 52.9% of net proceeds are planned for faster optical products and chip R&D and 25.1% for production-capacity expansion. First-half revenue was RMB 5.39 billion and net profit RMB 661 million.
Why it matters. The financing can expand China's optical-module and related chip capacity, but capital raised is not evidence of high-speed product qualification or domestic component provenance. Reuters cited an analyst saying the current shipment mix remains weighted toward the lower end of the module range.
