On September 15, Z.AI fell 3.68% in regular trading, trading at 694.0 HKD/share, with turnover of 21.8 billion HKD. The stock has now slipped below the 714 HKD placement price from its latest financing round, extending losses from the prior session's 9.21% decline.
On September 13, Z.AI announced the completion of approximately $5 billion in financing, comprising roughly $2 billion in share placement at 714 HKD per share (a ~9.96% discount to pre-announcement close) and approximately $3 billion in zero-coupon convertible bonds with an initial conversion price of 892.50 HKD. This marks the company's third large-scale capital raise in under nine months since listing, with cumulative fundraising exceeding 75 billion HKD, creating significant potential equity dilution. The funds are earmarked for next-generation GLM model development, self-training infrastructure, and computing resources.
Compounding the pressure, the company's first-half gross margin contracted sharply from 50.0% to 26.4%, while interim losses reached 2.072 billion RMB. Broader AI sector sentiment also remained subdued after Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei warned of AI risks losing control, with MINIMAX-W falling 4.52% on the same day.
