China AI IPO pop fails to halt July slide as CSI 300 drops 9.6%

AI Market Summary
China's weak July equity performance and sharply divergent AI IPO outcomes signal fragile risk appetite, despite roughly $9B in state support and elevated buybacks. The drawdown in China's tech benchmarks aligns with a broader global AI-driven selloff, reinforced by weak large-cap tech earnings and sharp declines in key chipmakers. Near-term positioning may remain cautious across global tech and AI supply-chain exposures.

China’s A-share market came under heavy pressure in July, with the CSI 300 Index falling 9.6% for its biggest monthly decline since January 2016, while the tech-heavy STAR 50 Index slid 30% from its mid-July peak. AI-linked listings showed sharply mixed trading: ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) surged 466% on its first day, but Zhongji Innolight fell 5% during its IPO. State-backed investors bought $9 billion of stocks to stabilize markets, while corporate buybacks climbed to their highest level since U.S. President Donald Trump announced steep tariffs in April 2025. The diverging IPO performance underlined uneven sentiment toward AI-related new listings.
