China's Nexchip made its debut on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on July 10, 2026, marking a significant milestone for the company. It has grown to become the world's eighth-largest semiconductor foundry, leveraging its strength in producing older-generation chips. Nexchip Chairman Tsai Kuo-Chih was present at the company's listing ceremony in Hong Kong. The company's rise highlights the ongoing demand for legacy chips even as the semiconductor industry increasingly focuses on artificial intelligence (AI) technologies.
