Digital Domain
Digital Domain Holdings Limited is an investment holding company incorporated in Bermuda and registered with the Hong Kong Companies Registry as a company with a place of business in Hong Kong, headquartered in Central, Hong Kong. Its shares are listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited under stock code 0547 (ISIN BMG2870G2095). The company traded previously as Sun Innovation Holdings Limited before adopting its current name in December 2013.
The group’s principal activity is the provision of visual effects (VFX) and post-production services for motion pictures, television, streaming platforms, advertising and games, covering visualization, computer graphics, animation, motion capture and virtual production. It has also expanded into virtual human and AI-driven virtual reality technology, digital human hospitality services, and the trading of semiconductor memory products and esports products.
The group’s VFX business traces back to the visual effects studio founded in California in 1993. The original operating company behind that studio, Digital Domain Media Group, Inc., filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in Delaware in September 2012, and its VFX production assets were sold through the bankruptcy process. Those assets came under new ownership and, by 2016, were fully integrated into the present-day group operating under the Hong Kong-listed Digital Domain Holdings Limited, renamed from Sun Innovation Holdings Limited in December 2013. The Hong Kong-listed holding company that exists today is accordingly a separate legal and corporate structure from the original 1990s Californian studio operator, notwithstanding its continued use of the Digital Domain brand.
For the financial year ended 31 December 2025, the group reported consolidated revenue of approximately HK$777.3 million, up about 24% from HK$625.8 million in 2024, driven principally by its media entertainment and trading segments, alongside a consolidated loss attributable to owners of HK$257.3 million, narrower than the prior year’s loss.
The Hong Kong Companies Registry lists the company’s registration status as active. An active status confirms the company remains on the register and subject to Hong Kong Stock Exchange disclosure obligations; it does not by itself indicate the scale or profitability of current trading operations.

Shareholders of Digital Domain Holdings Limited
The on-file registry data for Digital Domain Holdings Limited records five reportable holdings, all attributed to Vanguard-managed index funds (for example, Vanguard International Stock Index – Total International Stock Index Fund, and several other Vanguard regional and global equity index funds), verified as of 2 August 2026. The percentages recorded against these funds total close to the company’s full share capital, which is inconsistent with a company of this size having other reported substantial holders; this appears to reflect an aggregation or scaling issue in the underlying data source rather than five funds jointly controlling the company, and should be treated with caution rather than as a reliable ownership breakdown.
Digital Domain Holdings Limited is a Main Board-listed company subject to Hong Kong’s Part XV disclosure of interests regime, under which shareholders must disclose holdings once they cross 5% of voting rights. Secondary reporting (not independently verified in this research against a primary HKEX Disclosure of Interests filing) identifies other holders including ADATA Technology Co., Ltd. (around 19%), Delight One Group Ltd. (around 7%), an entity linked to Chinese state-owned asset administration (around 7%), and individual holders Xiaohu Wang and Yi Lin Elaine Tang (each around 6%). These figures could not be cross-checked against a primary HKEX filing in this research and are presented for context only, not as confirmed holdings.
Ultimate beneficial ownership
No verified ultimate beneficial owner has been identified for Digital Domain Holdings Limited in this research. The available shareholder information consists of institutional fund holdings and unverified secondary-source references to further holders; none of it establishes a complete, verifiable ownership chain to a natural person.
Data availability
Shareholder disclosure for this Main Board-listed company is, in principle, Full via HKEX’s Disclosure of Interests system, but the information reviewed in this research is best classified as Partial: the on-file registry data appears distorted, and the additional substantial-holder names found in secondary sources were not confirmed against a primary regulatory filing.

Directors and officers of Digital Domain Holdings Limited
The on-file registry data lists five officer records for Digital Domain Holdings Limited, all shown as active with a Hong Kong correspondence address, including Cheung Lok Wong (CPA), recorded as CEO, CFO and Executive Chairman of the Board; Chi Fai Cheung, recorded as a qualified accountant; Lala Gavgavian, recorded as COO and Global President of the VFX business; Simon Astbury, recorded as Head of Colour for Greater China; and Lai Yan Fok, recorded as Company Secretary. The underlying registry indicates 15 total officer records, of which only the first 5 were retrieved in this research.
External sources corroborate Cheung Lok Wong’s role: company announcements report that he was appointed an executive Director and Chief Executive Officer on 13 January 2025 and was subsequently appointed Chairman of the Board effective 30 September 2025, at which point Chu Wing Sze was appointed a non-executive Director. Secondary reporting also lists a wider Board including long-serving independent non-executive director Duan Xiongfei (in office since 2009), Elizabeth Daley, and Cheong Lau, alongside more recently reported additions; these could not be independently confirmed against a primary Hong Kong Companies Registry or HKEX filing in this research and are presented with that caveat. Separately, the group’s US studio subsidiary has its own operating leadership, including a President role reported by industry press as held by Sudhir Reddy; this is a subsidiary-level appointment, distinct from the Hong Kong holding company’s statutory Board.
Nationality is not disclosed in any source reviewed for this research and must not be inferred from names, correspondence addresses or countries of residence.

Group Structure
Group structure of Digital Domain Holdings Limited
Digital Domain Holdings Limited is the top-listed holding company of its group; no parent company has been identified for it in this research, and the on-file registry data explicitly records no parent, subsidiary or ownership linkage. External research identifies one verified operating relationship: the group’s visual effects studio business, trading as Digital Domain, is carried on through Digital Domain 3.0, Inc., a US-incorporated operating subsidiary that became wholly owned by the present group by 2016. Beyond this, a complete subsidiary schedule from the company’s annual report could not be extracted in machine-readable form in this research, so the wider group structure (additional trading and technology subsidiaries referenced in the company’s public business description) is not separately verified here.
It is important to distinguish this current group from the original Digital Domain studio’s 1990s corporate parent, Digital Domain Media Group, Inc., a US company that filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in Delaware in September 2012. That company is not part of today’s group; its VFX production assets were acquired out of bankruptcy and, through subsequent transactions, came under Hong Kong-listed ownership by 2016.
Verified corporate relationships
| Entity | Country | Registration number | Relationship | Ownership | Status | Information date |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Digital Domain 3.0, Inc. (trading as Digital Domain) | United States | Not disclosed | Direct subsidiary | Reported as wholly owned (100%); not confirmed via a primary annual report subsidiary schedule in this research | Active | 2016 (acquisition completion, per company announcements) |
Recent structural changes
- Digital Domain 3.0, Inc. became a wholly owned subsidiary of the present group by 2016, following its earlier acquisition out of the 2012 Digital Domain Media Group, Inc. bankruptcy (per company and industry-press reporting).
Data availability
Group-structure information for Digital Domain Holdings Limited is Partial: the on-file registry source reports no linkage at all, and this research was able to externally verify only one operating subsidiary relationship through company announcements and industry press, without access to a complete, primary annual report subsidiary schedule.
