中國科技公司發行新股籌資逾410億美元,AI支出需求推動募資潮

阿里巴巴領銜募資,投資人擔憂獲利稀釋與市場供過於求

Quick Look

今年以來中國上市科技公司透過發行新股籌措逾410億美元,創2020年以來新高。此舉旨在支應AI領域的龐大資本支出,但也引發投資人對獲利稀釋及市場供過於求的擔憂,導致相關科技股表現疲軟。

Why It Matters

中國科技公司為應對AI領域的激烈競爭,正透過發行新股籌集大量資金以支應資本支出。此舉與美國企業偏好債務融資的模式形成鮮明對比。

為了支應人工智慧(AI)支出,今年以來中國上市科技公司今年已透過發行新股籌措逾410億美元(新台幣1.3兆元),這加劇了投資人對於獲利稀釋以及原本就表現不佳的市場中供過於求的擔憂。

根據《彭博》彙編的數據,今年以來中國上市科技公司已透過發行新股籌措逾410億美元,為2020年以來最高。其中,阿里巴巴集團在8月底啟動100億美元(新台幣3154.8億元)的新股配售,引領了這波募資潮,其他參與的公司還包括智譜(Z. AI)、稀宇科技(MiniMax)和上海壁仞科技。

阿里巴巴迅速敲定的上述行動,引發了市場對其他中國同行可能採取類似舉動的預期,因為無論是在中國還是與美國,AI主導權的爭奪戰都已進入白熱化階段。此外,中國公司更傾向於利用股票市場進行融資,這與美國公司較為依賴債務融資的作法大相徑庭。此對比不僅凸顯出中國公司對維持更健康資產負債表的重視,也反映出他們在全球發行債券時面臨著較高的成本。

Bold Wealth Partners投資長雷米爾(Jason Lemire)表示:「這絕對是一個應該會持續下去的趨勢。中國AI公司正推進激進的資本支出計劃,而且先前的股市大漲也可能會激勵這些公司發行更多股票。相較之下,海外債務融資的成本要高得多。」

中國AI相關公司發行新股籌資的熱潮,是導致該國2大科技指數最近幾個月表現不佳的重要原因。成分股包括阿里巴巴和稀宇科技等AI巨擘的香港恆生科技指數,今年以來已下跌20%。上證科創50指數雖然今年上漲了18%,但與6月下旬的高點相比,已大幅回落28%。相較之下,今年以來美國費城半導體指數暴漲68%。

投資人對中國公司發行新股導致獲利稀釋的擔憂,在阿里巴巴8月底啟動新股配售後表露無遺。自展開上述籌資行動以來,阿里巴巴在香港上市的股票已下跌超過10%,即使共同創辦人馬雲和高階主管買回股票,也未能扭轉拋售壓力。
