Summary
According to 21 Caijing, Chinese magnetics and power-supply maker Kelike raised RMB 650 million after its net profit roughly halved, directing the proceeds toward AI compute-related business. It is a case of a Chinese supply-chain company pivoting to AI infrastructure and using equity funding to bet on compute demand.
Bubble analysis
This is not core evidence either way on an AI bubble: it concerns one mid-sized supply-chain company's fundraising and pivot, a sum small relative to global AI capex, and it offers no comparison of AI revenue against AI spending. At most it shows the AI-compute narrative is pulling upstream and downstream suppliers into leveraged bets — a peripheral signal in the bubble debate.
