Country Garden exited ChangXin before its IPO and missed roughly RMB 50 billion in gains
ChangXin Technology made a blockbuster debut on Shanghai’s STAR Market on July 27, 2026, opening at RMB 49.50 versus an issue price of RMB 8.66, a jump of 471.59%. Based on 66.881 billion post-offering shares, the company’s market capitalization reached RMB 3.31 trillion at the open, later nearing RMB 3.66 trillion intraday, while turnover hit a record RMB 141.187 billion for a single A-share stock in one day. The listing also cast fresh attention on Country Garden’s earlier investment. The developer invested RMB 2 billion in ChangXin in 2021 through a Series B capital increase, initially taking about 2.24% and later being diluted to 1.56%. In December 2024, under funding pressure, it sold the entire stake to a Hefei state-owned buyer for the same RMB 2 billion it had originally paid. At ChangXin’s opening valuation, that former holding was worth about RMB 50 billion. The transaction has become a sharp example of how China’s property downturn forced asset sales even when a long-term industrial bet was working. Country Garden had once framed venture investing around advanced manufacturing and semiconductors, but by the time it exited ChangXin, the group was focused on liquidity, debt pressure and project delivery. The proceeds were designated for general working capital, mainly to support home delivery and construction projects.
