• Extreme Working Capital Squeeze: RelyEZ’s trade receivables turnover days skyrocketed to 326 days in the first four months of 2026, driven by delayed SOE milestones and overseas open-account terms. With cash reserves dwindling to RMB 176 million against a massive RMB 450 million operating cash outflow in early 2026, the August 9, 2026 HKEX IPO refiling is a critical liquidity lifeline rather than a simple expansion play.
• Standalone ESS Niche vs. Extreme Concentration: While RelyEZ captured a highly respectable 4th place in China’s standalone energy storage market with a 12.5% market share (3.4 GWh of newly installed capacity in 2025), this growth is precariously concentrated. Customer concentration reached 94.3% from its top five customers in early 2026, leaving the business highly exposed to the procurement whims and capital cycles of a few state-owned power developers.
• Structural Transition to Software and Overseas Markets: To escape the brutal domestic hardware price war, where ASPs crashed to RMB 0.68/Wh in early 2026, RelyEZ is shifting toward high-margin software platforms like EnergyMarket+ (boasting over 80% margins) and rapid overseas expansion. Overseas revenue surged to RMB 125.0 million (representing 44.64% of total revenue) in the first four months of 2026, highlighting international markets as the primary engine for margin preservation.

• Hubei Dinglong has established a dominant domestic position in CMP pads, capturing a 38.5% market share in China in 2025, but its growth engine is highly concentrated on this single product line. Efforts to replicate this success in CMP slurries and advanced photoresists are struggling with low utilization rates, prolonged qualification cycles, and fierce competition from established players.
• The company’s capital allocation has become increasingly aggressive and fragmented, highlighted by the 630 million yuan acquisition of Haofei New Materials in January 2026—a pivot into highly competitive, overcapacity-plagued lithium battery auxiliary materials—and a rising leverage profile with a debt-to-asset ratio reaching 41.11% by late 2025.
• The proposed dual primary H-share listing in Hong Kong to raise at least US$750 million is a strategic necessity driven by domestic regulatory constraints on A-share secondary financing, rather than a sign of operational strength. This capital push is further complicated by historical management red flags, including cumulative insider cash-outs of approximately 1.1 billion yuan by executives and controlling shareholders.

• Shenzhen Megmeet Electrical (002851 CH) (SME), an industrial technology group, aims to raise around US$750m in its H-share listing.
• SME has a broad product portfolio with six major business segments comprising power supplies, new energy transportation, industrial automation, smart home appliances, intelligent equipment, and precision connectivity and magnetic components.
• In this note, we look at its past performance and other deal dynamics that might impact the listing.

• If the first stage of competition was about determining “whether it can grow large”, then investors‘re more concerned about whether Deye can maintain profit structure in front of globalization/cyclical fluctuations.
• Against the backdrop of a more rational global new energy capital cycle,Deye needs to prove its competitiveness doesn’t only come from short-term dividends, but also from long-term replicable system capabilities.
• As inverters evolve from hardware to the entry point of energy systems, the real competition has just begun. Based on 2026 forecast, comfortable valuation range could be P/E of 15-20x.

• Ingenic Semiconductor (INGC HK) , aims to raise up to US$500m in its H-share listing.
• Ingenic is a leading global integrated circuit (IC) provider with a comprehensive product portfolio spanning memory, computing, and analog ICs.
