On June 8, China Hongqiao fell 3.24% at open, trading at HK$25.66/share with trading volume of HK$479 million. The stock extended its multi-session decline driven by a confluence of negative factors including convertible bond dilution fears, the exhaustion of buyback support, and persistent institutional selling.
The company announced on June 2 that the conversion price of its US$300 million 1.50% convertible bonds due 2030 was reduced from HK$19.36 to HK$18.44 per share, effective June 3. Upon full conversion, a maximum of approximately 126.44 million new shares could be issued, deepening market anxiety over equity dilution. Meanwhile, the company's HK$3.079 billion share buyback program has been fully completed, eliminating a consistent source of buying support that had previously cushioned the stock.
Southbound capital net sold approximately HK$581 million of China Hongqiao on June 4, with cumulative net reduction of over 30 million shares over the prior five trading days. Within the aluminum sector, peer CHALCO declined 5.12% in today's session, indicating continued broad-based sector weakness.
