CATL's Successful IPO: Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Ltd. (CATL) saw its shares rise 12.5% during its Hong Kong trading debut after raising $4.6 billion, marking the largest listing of the year, with strong oversubscription from both institutional and retail investors.
Future Plans and Market Position: CATL, which holds a 38% share of the global EV battery market, plans to use the IPO proceeds to build a factory in Hungary for European automakers, despite facing scrutiny due to its inclusion on a U.S. Defense Department list related to military ties.
