Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited (CATL) is seeking to raise approximately US$5 billion through a Hong Kong share placement, according to Bloomberg. The shares are being offered at HK$628.20 (US$80) to HK$651.80 (US$83) each, representing a discount of 3.5% to 7% below CATL’s 27 April close in Hong Kong.
Placement Terms and Investor Base
The share placement targets global investors and includes a Rule 144A tranche for US buyers, occurring less than a year after CATL’s US$5.3 billion Hong Kong listing. CATL stated it will use the proceeds for capacity expansion, research and development, working capital, and other general corporate purposes.
Strategic Context
The fundraising supports CATL’s planned expansion outside China, where the company faces a crowded domestic market. According to the source, CATL’s overseas revenue increased from 23.4% in 2022 to 32.7% in 2023. The capital raise backs a broad expansion that includes a 7.6 billion euros (US$8.2 billion) plant in Hungary and a 4.1 billion euros (US$4.3 billion) joint venture in Spain. These investments represent part of CATL’s strategy to establish manufacturing capacity in Europe and reduce exposure to tariffs on electric vehicle batteries imported from China.

CoWoS wafer average pricing breaks $10,000, advanced packaging becomes TSMC’s new profit engine
The AI wave is turning advanced packaging into a new profit engine for semiconductors. A single CoWoS die is about $10k, roughly equivalent to a 7nm process, and its gross margin potential is increasing. TSMC is shifting its focus to system-level integration and 2.5D/3D stacking; in 2025, packaging will account for about 10% of revenue, with capacity of 1.3 million in 2026 and 2 million units in 2027. EMIB is gradually taking market share due to its cost and flexibility advantages, but bandwidth is limited; CoWoS faces issues such as mask stitching and waste in the interposer layer. In the future, the landscape will be led by training-focused CoWoS, with EMIB used for inference/ASIC, as packaging layouts are being reshaped.
