CX Tech Unveils Its Underwriting Syndicate Lineup
The IPO of Changxin Technology is entering the final countdown before issuance, and the lineup of the underwriting syndicate behind this "first domestic chip stock in the domestic storage sector" has come to light. According to the latest publicly disclosed prospectus, Changxin Technology is scheduled to launch its share offering on July 16. For this IPO, China International Capital Corporation (CICC) and CITIC Securities have been appointed as joint sponsors and lead underwriters, while Guotai Haitong, Guoyuan Securities, Huatai United Securities, and China Merchants Securities will serve as joint lead underwriters. In total, six brokerages form the full underwriting syndicate.
This is a rare "premium-tier underwriting syndicate". On one hand, top-tier investment banks including CICC, CITIC Securities, Guotai Haitong, Huatai United Securities, and China Merchants Securities are heavily featured in the team; on the other hand, Anhui local brokerage firm Guoyuan Securities has secured a spot in the lead underwriter roster. What makes the arrangement even more notable is that multiple lead underwriters are also existing shareholders of Changxin Technology. Beyond the conventional investment banking service fees, the equity investment gains hold far greater potential upside for all parties involved in this IPO deal. (Reporting by CLSA)

Zuckerberg Denies Meta Has Excess Computing Power, Says Cloud Business Holds Commercial Potential
On July 9 local time, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg stated that Meta needs as much computing power resources as possible. However, amid a supply crunch for the computing power required to develop and run AI systems, he is also exploring whether leasing part of Meta's AI infrastructure to external clients can create additional value. "The market is paying extremely high prices for computing power right now," Zuckerberg said in an interview. "In some cases, it makes more economic sense to lease out capacity rather than keep it for internal use, or to consider similar transaction structures." Earlier reports indicated that Meta is planning to launch cloud services, aiming to generate direct revenue by leveraging its data centers and other computing power partners. Zuckerberg noted that the opportunity to develop a cloud business "has always been there — we can move forward with it whenever we decide to." Even so, he emphasized that this does not mean Meta has overbuilt its infrastructure or holds idle computing capacity. "I don't know anyone in this industry who would say they have too much computing power," Zuckerberg remarked. He added that Meta is currently utilizing every bit of its available computing resources.

Report: TSMC Targets Minimum Monthly CoWoS Capacity of 200,000 Wafers by 2027
According to Taiwan's Electronic Times, advanced packaging capacity remains in persistent short supply, prompting TSMC to accelerate its capacity expansion. Supply chain sources reveal that construction at nearly all of TSMC's new facilities is proceeding around the clock with shift work to speed up development. Equipment manufacturers indicate that based on information released by TSMC, monthly CoWoS capacity stood at approximately 30,000+ wafers in 2024, is set to reach 70,000 wafers in 2025, and had an original target of 110,000 wafers by the end of 2026 — a figure that ultimately exceeded 130,000 wafers. The 2027 expansion target of 200,000 wafers is regarded as a conservative baseline, with market optimism projecting monthly CoWoS capacity could rise to 240,000~260,000 wafers by the close of 2027. However, TSMC has yet to finalize order allocations among equipment vendors, leaving the supply chain on tenterhooks over concerns of a price-cutting bidding war. Compounding these worries is the minimum 7~9 month lead time from equipment ordering to production delivery, leaving suppliers anxious about their ability to fulfill shipments on schedule. (CLSA)
