On June 22, China Hongqiao fell 3.43% in regular trading, trading at 21.6 HKD/share, with turnover of HKD 407 million.
On the news front, the aluminum sector continued its collective sell-off. Goldman Sachs recently downgraded peer Chalco from neutral to sell, slashing its target price from 12.5 to 7.5 HKD, citing expectations of aluminum price declines toward USD 2,350/ton by year-end and a widening global supply surplus. The bearish sentiment has spread across the sector, with Chalco down 3.74%, Chuangxin Industrial down 4.26%, and Nanshan Aluminium International down 2.7%.
Additionally, China Hongqiao's earlier announcement of a convertible bond conversion price reduction from 19.36 to 18.44 HKD per share — potentially issuing up to 126 million new shares — continues to weigh on sentiment due to dilution fears. Meanwhile, the company's HKD 3.079 billion share buyback program has been fully executed, removing a key source of sustained buying support. Citibank, however, reiterated a buy rating with a 48 HKD target price, calling the sell-off overdone.
