Memory chipmaker CXMT sees shares surge 466%, becomes one of China's most valuable listed companies right below Tencent

The CXMT logo is displayed on a smartphone screen placed on a reflective surface on which the flag of China is projected.

On Monday, Chinese memory manufacturer CXMT made its initial public offering on Shanghai's STAR stock market. This debut was the biggest in Asia this year, raising $8.6 billion and seeing shares in the company surge by 466%. In terms of valuation, that places CXMT right at the top of China's stock market.

CXMT's market capitalisation is now about $487.73 billion. Major player Tencent still outpaces it at a little over $500 billion, but that makes CXMT's stock market debut no less show-stealing. In fact, according to Reuters, the memory manufacturer is now a more valuable listed company than even the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China.
