With 396 applicants seeking roughly RMB428.2bn, the restrictions are putting pressure on companies that had counted on listing proceeds to fund investment. YMTC has already paused preparations for its RMB33bn Shanghai IPO. Its parent, Changcun Holdings, had earmarked RMB20.8bn for production upgrades and RMB12.2bn for research. Keeping those projects on schedule will now require alternative funding. Changcun generated RMB32.7bn in operating cash in 2025 but spent RMB36.2bn on long-term assets. Another RMB26.7bn in operating cash in the first quarter of 2026 gives it some room to delay its listing. Applicants with weaker cash positions face greater pressure to borrow or raise private equity.
