## Key points

- Alibaba plans a Hong Kong share offering for chip subsidiary T-Head.
- The listing needs regulatory approval; its size and timing are unknown.
- Alibaba says its latest AI chip is three times as powerful as its predecessor.

## Summary

Alibaba plans to offer shares in its semiconductor subsidiary T-Head in Hong Kong, following permission from the exchange to spin off the business. The proposed listing could give investors a way to back Alibaba’s efforts to develop AI chips in China, where US restrictions have limited access to advanced semiconductors.

The offering still needs approval from the Hong Kong exchange and China’s securities regulator, and Alibaba has not announced its size or timing. It said it had filed confidentially on 11 September; the plan follows the launch of its Zhenwu V900 chip in September, which Alibaba says is three times as powerful as its predecessor. Alibaba shares fell about 1% on Wednesday and are down roughly 29% this year, while other Chinese chip listings have reportedly been delayed amid tighter regulatory scrutiny.
