The company planned to price its offering at the top of its range at HK$106.89 while halting institutional orders a day earlier than planned amid abundant interest, Bloomberg reported on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p datatype=\"p\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\" class=\"e8zc9q40 css-1c6uqr6 ec74h0k1\">Montage&rsquo;s dual-listing approach follows that of GigaDevice Semiconductor, which debuted in Hong Kong last month, after listing in Shanghai a decade ago.
