Internet majors traded broadly higher, with MEITUAN-W up 3.0% and TENCENT gaining nearly 2.0%.

Foundation Model equities staged a strong rally. MINIMAX-W surged 17.14% after management signaled positive operational progress during an investor call; Goldman Sachs reiterated its "Buy" rating with an HKD 860 target price, citing healthy gross margins for API services, daily processing exceeding 1 trillion tokens for its M3 model, and the upcoming launch of M3 Pro expected around September-October. Z.AI also advanced 3.56%.

AI computing hardware supply chain stocks rallied in afternoon trading. Surging demand for AI compute infrastructure continued to drive tight supply and elevated pricing for high-end PCBs, with tier-one manufacturer order books locked through 2027. Consequently, Kincore Microelectronics jumped 19.3%, Dtech Technology rose 7.4%, and Victory Giant Technology added 6.3%. Conversely, memory concept stocks traded soft, with MONTAGETECH falling over 3.0%.

The Embodied AI sector showed active momentum.

III. AI Industry & Corporate Developments

1. Changxin Technology Debuts on STAR Market, Surging over 470% at Open to Become A-Share Market Cap Leader

On July 27, domestic DRAM leader Changxin Technology (688825.SH) officially listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange STAR Market, marking the largest IPO in STAR Market history (raising RMB 57.638 billion, potentially reaching RMB 66.6 billion upon full greenshoe exercise). Opening at RMB 49.50 per share, up 471.59% from its RMB 8.66 issue price, its total market capitalization reached RMB 3.31 trillion, surpassing Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) as the top market cap stock in the A-share market. Driven by the AI-induced memory price upcycle, Q1 revenue reached RMB 50.8 billion (+719% YoY). The listing establishes a firm valuation anchor for domestic computing hardware, spurring strong positive valuation spillover expectations for Hong Kong-listed AI chipmakers.

2. Hong Kong Market Prepares for First Embodied AI IPO as Early as Late August

Public filings indicate that the Hong Kong stock market may welcome its first Embodied AI IPO as early as late August, with Agibot and Galbot drawing the highest market interest. Agibot has completed its joint-stock conversion, with its general-purpose robot recently rolling off its 15,000th unit, while Unitree Technology has produced approximately 11,000 units of a single humanoid model. Analysts note that with humanoid robotics firms generally in early-stage commercialization and yet to turn profitable, tightening primary market liquidity is compelling category leaders to accelerate secondary listings, signaling an industry transition from technological narrative to capital market validation.

3. Xiaomi Announces July 30 Technology Event to Enter EREV SUV Segment

On July 27, Xiaomi Chairman Lei Jun announced on Weibo that Xiaomi Auto will hold its "Pengcheng Series Technology Conference" at 19:00 on July 30. The Pengcheng N90 and N70 EREV SUVs will formally debut, emphasizing spacious cabin dimensions and flexible interior layouts, marking Xiaomi Auto's strategic expansion from pure electric vehicles (BEVs) into the extended-range market. Coupled with four consecutive days of share buybacks and an upward revision of its annual smartphone shipment target to 110 million units, market consensus regarding Xiaomi's earnings trajectory continues to improve.

4. Jensen Huang and Elon Musk Reaffirm Confidence in Chinese AI Leadership

On Saturday, July 25, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang and Tesla CEO Elon Musk both publicly commented on China's AI capabilities. Huang stated that brilliant minds will always find exceptional solutions, noting that China is destined to produce world-class AI technologies and that global peers should continue learning from and collaborating with Chinese innovators. Concurrently, Musk expressed that China is highly likely to become a global leader in artificial intelligence, emphasizing that potential US restrictions on Chinese models would be ineffective. These statements reflect a notable pivot among global tech leaders following widespread Silicon Valley opposition to proposed US Treasury sanctions targeting Chinese AI models.

5. Samsung Chairman Lee Jae-yong Meets OpenAI CEO Sam Altman to Discuss AI and Semiconductor Synergies

On July 25 (local time), Samsung Electronics Executive Chairman Lee Jae-yong met with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman at OpenAI's headquarters in San Francisco. Industry observers expect discussions focused on deepening collaboration across AI infrastructure, including HBM, DRAM, and advanced foundry node manufacturing, alongside potential digital transformation frameworks to deploy generative AI across Samsung's broader business units. Coming shortly after SK Group's $500 billion AI partnership with NVIDIA, ties between South Korean conglomerates and global AI pioneers are accelerating, reshaping the global compute supply chain landscape.
