Many said the IPO was rushed, in expectation of a downturn in the private market. At that time, there was a rush to Hong Kong’s public market by many Chinese unicorns.

A year on, this is how Xiaomi’s stock price performance:

On the day of the IPO, Founder Lei Jun said he would make “all the investors who bought Xiaomi on its debut day double their investment value”.

It has been resilient.
