ChangXin Technology’s first trading day as a listed company pushed it to the top of the A-share market by market value and created sizable unrealized gains for banks that invested through affiliated vehicles. According to the report, five major state-owned banks participated mainly through their financial asset investment companies, or AICs. Agricultural Bank of China, via ABC Investment, directly holds about 0.95%, while China Construction Bank holds about 0.83% through CCB Investment and additional stakes through Jianyin International and Jianxin Linghang, bringing its look-through holding to about 1.7%, the highest among the five. Industrial and Commercial Bank of China holds about 0.64% through Gongrong Jintou under ICBC Investment, while Bank of Communications and Bank of China each hold about 0.38% through their respective units. The report said banks are likely classifying these holdings under FVTPL. Using the last pre-IPO fundraising price of RMB 2.63 per share, the estimated book values are RMB 2.46 billion for CCB, RMB 1.5 billion for ABC, RMB 1.01 billion for ICBC, RMB 600 million each for BOC and Bank of Communications, and RMB 460 million for China Merchants Bank. Under scenarios where ChangXin’s post-listing market capitalization ranges from RMB 1 trillion to RMB 7 trillion, the appreciation could equal roughly 0.3% to 10% of the six banks’ 2025 revenue.

ChangXin Technology became the most valuable stock in China’s A-share market on its listing debut, a move that also delivered notable paper gains to major banks that invested in the company indirectly.

According to the report, five large state-owned banks joined the investment mainly through their financial asset investment companies, or AICs. Agricultural Bank of China holds about 0.95% directly through ABC Investment, making it the largest investor among bank-backed AICs. China Construction Bank holds about 0.83% directly through CCB Investment and also owns additional equity indirectly through Jianyin International and Jianxin Linghang. On a look-through basis, its total stake is about 1.7%, the highest among the five state-owned lenders.

Industrial and Commercial Bank of China holds about 0.64% through Gongrong Jintou under ICBC Investment. Bank of Communications holds about 0.38% through Bank of Communications Financial, while Bank of China holds about 0.38% through BOC Assets.

The analysis said banks are likely carrying their ChangXin holdings in FVTPL accounts, meaning financial assets measured at fair value with changes recognized in current profit and loss. Using RMB 2.63 per share, the price in the company’s last pre-listing capital increase, the estimated book values are RMB 2.46 billion for China Construction Bank, RMB 1.5 billion for Agricultural Bank of China, RMB 1.01 billion for ICBC, RMB 600 million each for Bank of China and Bank of Communications, and RMB 460 million for China Merchants Bank.

Under scenario analysis assuming ChangXin Technology’s post-listing market capitalization ranges from RMB 1 trillion to RMB 7 trillion, the equity appreciation would account for about 0.3% to 10% of the six banks’ 2025 revenue, according to Caixin.
