Movement Alert｜China Hongqiao Falls 3.14% in Regular Trading, Aluminum Sector Weakness Deepens Amid Goldman Sachs Downgrade and Convertible Bond Dilution Concerns

On June 17, China Hongqiao fell 3.14% in regular trading, trading at 23.42 HKD/share, with turnover of 639 million HKD.

On the news front, the aluminum sector continued its collective decline, with peer stocks CHALCO down 1.99%, Nanshan Aluminum International down 1.66%, and RUSAL down 0.82%, reflecting significant sector-wide downward pressure. Goldman Sachs previously downgraded CHALCO from neutral to sell and forecast sustained aluminum price declines, spreading bearish sentiment across the industry.

Additionally, the company previously announced a reduction in its convertible bond conversion price from 19.36 HKD to 18.44 HKD per share, with full conversion potentially issuing up to 126 million new shares. Market concerns over equity dilution continue to weigh on sentiment. Meanwhile, the completion of approximately 30.79 billion HKD in buybacks has removed a key source of sustained buying support.

Although the controlling shareholder recently increased its holdings by 20.5 million shares and stated that the current share price deviates from intrinsic value, short-term sector-linked selling pressure remains dominant.
