On July 21, China Conch Venture declined 5.15% in regular trading, trading at HKD 8.49/share, with turnover of approximately HKD 68.50 million.
The decline comes as short-selling pressure continues to weigh on the stock following a severe short attack on July 13 that sent shares plunging as much as 30% intraday. Despite aggressive accumulation by parent Anhui Conch Group — which purchased 9.30 million shares at HKD 10.20 on July 6, 16.41 million shares at HKD 10.04 on July 7, 28.18 million shares at HKD 9.97 on July 10, and 41.19 million shares at HKD 8.98 on July 16, raising its stake from approximately 12% to 17.08% with a target of 21% — the current price has fallen below the groups most recent accumulation price of HKD 8.98, signaling that bearish momentum has not subsided. Data from July 20 showed the stocks short-selling ratio at 43.56%, ranking among the top three in the industrial engineering sector, indicating sustained institutional short interest.
