en.Wedoany.com Reported - Goke Micro disclosed a plan to issue shares to specific targets on the evening of July 17, aiming to raise no more than 5.061 billion yuan, with funds concentrated on edge AI chip R&D and industrialization projects. This marks the company's largest financing move since its listing, indicating a full acceleration of its strategic layout in the edge AI field.
The issuance adopts a market-based inquiry method, targeting no more than 35 qualified professional institutional investors, without a lock-up pricing arrangement for the controlling shareholder. The issuance price is based on the first day of the issuance period and is no less than 80% of the average stock price over the previous 20 trading days. After the issuance, Xiang Ping remains the actual controller of the company, with no change in control. The plan has been approved by the board of directors and requires subsequent approval by the shareholders' meeting, review by the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, and registration with the China Securities Regulatory Commission.
In terms of fund usage, the raised funds are mainly allocated to three core edge AI chip projects, with a portion supplementing working capital. The total investment for the projects is approximately 5.59 billion yuan. Among them, the new-generation AI visual processing chip and solution project plans to invest about 659 million yuan, covering scenarios such as professional security, consumer visual terminals, smart homes, smart transportation, in-vehicle vision, and edge intelligent devices. The media interaction AI chip project plans to invest about 1.64 billion yuan, focusing on edge AI and embodied intelligence scenarios, with key R&D on next-generation high-computing-power NPUs, high-performance video codecs, and new-generation ISP engines, applied in fields including HMI smart instruments, home smart control panels, commercial panels, and embodied intelligence. The edge AI chip project plans to invest about 1.463 billion yuan, planning a series of chips around three major technical directions: dataflow architecture NPU, AI-ISP image processing engine, and Chiplet multi-chip interconnection, targeting markets such as home cleaning robots, commercial and industrial robots, intelligent transportation, and edge AI. Additionally, 1.3 billion yuan is allocated to supplement working capital, supporting the company's continuous R&D investment and business expansion.
Goke Micro stated that it has long been deeply involved in the integrated circuit design field, with its core business highly aligned with AI edge application scenarios. In the first quarter of 2026, the company achieved revenue of 633 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 107.46%; net profit attributable to the parent company was 54.94 million yuan, turning losses into profits year-on-year; net cash flow from operating activities reached 242 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 666.25%.
