China's Dajin Heavy seeks up to $736 million in Hong Kong listing

SINGAPORE ― Dajin Heavy Industry, a Chinese maker of wind power equipment, plans to raise as much as HK$5.77 billion ($736.5 million) through a Hong Kong listing, according to its prospectus on Thursday.

The Shenzhen-listed company is offering 86.97 million shares at up to HK$66.40 each, with trading expected to begin on June 5.

Cornerstone investors have agreed to take about HK$2.80 billion of shares, or nearly half of the base offering, including Singapore’s GIC, Hillhouse and UBS Asset Management Singapore, among others.

Dajin has an option to increase the size of the offering by 15 percent.

Dajin said it intends to allocate 55 percent of th​e initial public offering proceeds toward enhancing deep-sea wind power services, while 20 percent will fund the construction of an assembly base in Europe. Another 10 percent will go toward global research and development, 5 percent toward overseas market expansion and the remaining 10 percent for working capital.

The company, which manufactures offshore wind foundations, towers and related equipment, said it ranked as Europe’s largest offshore wind foundation supplier by monopile sales value in the first half of 2025, citing data from consultancy firm Frost & Sullivan.

Dajin reported that its net profit more than doubled in 2025 to 1.10 billion yuan ($162.27 million), while revenue climbed 63.3 percent year on year to 6.17 billion yuan.

Huatai Financial and China Merchants Securities are acting as joint sponsors for the listing.
