Chinese chipmaker MetaX recorded one of Shanghaiβs most dramatic IPOs in recent years, with its shares surging 693% on their first trading day. The jump, reported on 17 December 2025, outpaced the recent high-profile debut of rival Moore Threads.
The move highlights strong Chinese investor appetite for domestic AI and GPU-style chip makers often dubbed potential "new Nvidias." MetaXβs opening-day performance places it among the most notable listings on the Shanghai exchange over the past decade.
Market participants will be watching whether the stockβs initial spike leads to sustained interest as the competitive landscape for AI chip suppliers in China evolves. #MetaX #MooreThreads #AIchips #Shanghai #FiatNews
