C&K Group Limited, a Hong Kong-based jeweler focused on pearls and finished jewelry, increased its proposed U.S. IPO offering by 88% and now plans to raise $17 million by offering 3.8 million shares at a price range of $4 to $5, the company disclosed in mid-February filings related to its Nasdaq push. Blue Diamond Securities of America and Revere Securities are listed as the joint bookrunners on the deal.

The widened offering marks a marked escalation from the company’s earlier plans. The company had previously filed to offer 2 million shares at the same $4 to $5 range, and had originally filed to offer 1.5 million shares. As Renaissance Capital observed, "At the midpoint of the range, C&K Group will now raise 88% more in proceeds than previously anticipated."

Analysts and market observers framed the revision in regulatory terms. Renaissance Capital notes that "With the revised offering terms, C&K Group will qualify for a US IPO under the Nasdaq's new listing requirements, which include a minimum float of $15 million." The revised deal size and the stated $17 million target therefore appear tied to meeting that minimum float threshold as C&K pursues a Nasdaq listing.

The company’s business profile is narrowly focused on the pearl and finished-jewelry market. As disclosed, "Through its operating subsidiary, C&K Group principally engages in the purchasing, designing, and sales of loose pearls and finished jewelry products," and the firm "currently offers a selection of over 1,000 styles of pearls and finished jewelry products." C&K Group was founded in 2016 and is based in Hong Kong, China; it "plans to list on the Nasdaq, although it has not yet selected a symbol (RC ticker: CKJ.RC)."

Deal execution rests with small-cap bookrunners Blue Diamond Securities of America and Revere Securities, who are named on the filing materials as joint bookrunners on the deal. The $4 to $5 price range and 3.8 million share count set the headline economics; the filing materials and intermediary commentary present $17 million as the target capital raise tied to those terms.

The primary notice of the change was published on February 13, 2026; that report also contained a truncated line about the company's business operations, "purchase, design and sale of loose pearls and finished jewelry throug", which remains incomplete in the available excerpts. Some source material related to the coverage was behind a paywall and included site artifacts such as logos and internal tags, including the parenthetical "RC ticker: CKJ.RC," which appears to be an internal Renaissance Capital notation rather than an announced public symbol.

C&K Group’s move from an originally filed 1.5 million shares to a 3.8 million-share offering, combined with the $4 to $5 range and the engagement of Blue Diamond Securities of America and Revere Securities, positions the Hong Kong pearl specialist to meet Nasdaq’s minimum-float hurdle as it advances toward a U.S. listing.
