Movement Alert|Sinotruk Falls 3.12% in Regular Trading, Prior Rally Reverses as Natural Gas Heavy Truck Sales Plunge and Sector Weakens

Market Focus06-23

On June 23, Sinotruk (03808) fell 3.12% in regular trading, trading at HK$41.64/share, with turnover of HK$95.45 million.

On the news front, the stock had previously surged from HK$40.68 on June 11 to HK$47.42 by June 16, accumulating significant short-term gains that have now triggered substantial profit-taking pressure. Additionally, May domestic natural gas heavy truck terminal sales totaled only 13,900 units, plunging 55% month-over-month due to surging LNG prices. Affected by Middle East geopolitical tensions, domestic LNG average ex-factory prices exceeded 6,000 yuan per ton since April, with northern terminal refueling prices reaching 6.3-6.6 yuan/kg. The oil-gas price spread narrowed to mere fractions, eroding the economic advantage of gas-powered trucks and pushing the domestic penetration rate back to approximately 18.5% in May from 33.1% the prior month.

Within the Construction Machinery & Heavy Trucks sector, the overall sector was broadly weaker. Among individual stocks, Weichai Power fell 3.37%, Times Electric fell 3.2%, CRRC fell 2.97%, Sany Heavy Industry fell 2.3%, while CIDI rose 3.87%.
