Apple-Tesla Supplier Surges 16% After $1.06B Hong Kong IPO
Lingyi iTech rocketed 15.9% on its Hong Kong debut after raising HK$8.3 billion, signaling strong investor appetite for AI hardware plays.

That's not a soft landing. That's a statement.
The company isn't content just building precision components for the world's biggest tech brands. Lingyi is actively expanding into AI hardware and humanoid robotics — two of the hottest corners of the market right now.
