Moore Threads (688795) stock back on watchlist after Beijing mayor’s AI tour — what matters before the open

Shanghai, Jan 19, 2026, 07:58 CST — Premarket

Moore Threads Technology Co., Ltd. Class A shares (688795.SS) caught attention ahead of Monday’s open following a visit from Beijing mayor Yin Yong. The GPU designer is part of a broader effort to position the city as a leading artificial-intelligence hub, according to a Beijing Daily report. On Friday, the STAR Market stock closed 1.73% higher at 646.76 yuan, after fluctuating between 634.62 and 649.90.

The timing is crucial since Moore Threads has rapidly turned into a barometer for China’s homegrown AI-computing sector — and a test of how much investors buy into government policy cues. When it launched in December, the company was hailed as “China’s Nvidia,” rocketing to over five times its IPO price. Still, some investors cautioned the early surge seemed disconnected from near-term fundamentals, according to Reuters. Reuters

Leverage is set to be a key focus for traders on Monday. According to data from Lixinger, margin financing and securities lending balances stood at 8.79% of the stock’s floating A-share market cap as of Jan. 16. The financing balance hit 1.67 billion yuan that day, while turnover reached 9.27%. The company’s market value was around 304 billion yuan.

Huachuang Securities outlined the bigger picture on Friday: mounting competition in AI computing, a move toward specialized chips, and battles over interconnect standards as major tech players forge new alliances. The broker highlighted Moore Threads along with domestic peers like Cambricon and Hygon Information as key names to watch.

Moore Threads’ investors insist the demand narrative is intensifying. Wang Jie, an angel investor in the firm, told Economic Observer that economic activity is moving toward “using electricity and calling computing power,” with AI models driving more energy and hardware to the core of growth.

Still, the stock remains vulnerable to sudden drops. Intense retail demand, rapid trading, and leverage used to buy shares can magnify declines if policy news loses impact or if investors pull back from crowded AI bets.

On Monday, traders will watch closely to see if the Beijing visit sparks follow-through buying once the cash session kicks off, and whether leverage remains steady or begins to unwind. The initial price test is straightforward: can the stock maintain Friday’s close without a fresh surge of momentum.

Looking ahead, the next key date is the Q4 2025 earnings report, set for April 27, according to Markets Insider data — a major opportunity for investors to match the narrative with new figures.
