中国厨具制造商卡罗特（Carote），即将成为自去年以$4.6亿首次公开募股以来，在香港上市的第一家公司，已吸引了包括腾讯、百度等投资者的关注，据参与此事的知情人士透露。
根据这些知情人士透露的消息，并请求不具名，由于此信息为私人事务，卡罗特的IPO在在香港市场的份额中受到了超乎寻常1,300倍的订阅。知情人士还表示，在鉴于需求之强烈，该公司提前一天关闭了订单簿。最终，卡罗特以每股HK$5.78的价格完成定价，并成功筹集约$97百万，该价格位于已公布的区间上限。
卡罗特计划在本周三在香港证券交易所上市交易。
一位卡罗特的代表拒绝评论此事，而腾讯与百度则未能立即回应查询请求进行评论。
近期中国经济扶持措施为卡罗特的首秀提供了更好的环境背景。中国股市于周一上演了历史上的大反转，连续九日上涨，政府刺激政策成功吸引投资者回到了全球跌幅最大的市场之一。
卡罗特成立于2007年，业务涉及锅具、餐具及饮料容器等厨房用品制造。其上市文件显示，公司2024年第一季度净利润为88.5万元人民币（约126万美元），相较于去年同期增长了58%。
到目前为止，今年香港的上市公司通过IPO已筹集超过$7亿，超越了去年全年的总额，但与2020年高达$517亿的记录相比仍有显著差距，根据彭博社汇总的数据。
