Chinese EV Maker Seres Expands to Hong Kong After Stellar Mainland Rally
Seres Group, the Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer behind the Aito M9 luxury EV, is capitalizing on its meteoric 1,600% five-year Shanghai rally with a Hong Kong IPO. Priced at HK$131.50 per share—a 22% discount to its mainland closing price—the offering attracted over 300 investors despite 2025's brutal price competition in the EV sector.
The gray market surge preceding its formal listing underscores pent-up demand, adding momentum to Hong Kong's strongest year for equity deals since 2021. Seres' transformation from shock absorber supplier to Huawei-partnered luxury automaker mirrors China's EV ascendancy, though neither cryptocurrencies nor trading platforms feature in this traditional equity play.
