Stock Track | Meituan Stock Plummets as Hong Kong Market Tumbles

Stock Track2024-10-08

Shares of Chinese food delivery giant Meituan plummeted by 5.16% on Tuesday, as the broader Hong Kong market opened lower amid growing concerns over China's economic outlook.

The Hang Seng Index fell 1.1% in early trading, while the Hang Seng Tech Index, which tracks the city's major technology stocks, dropped 1.7%. Meituan's sharp decline came as part of a broader selloff in Chinese tech stocks, with e-commerce giants Alibaba and JD.com losing 2.9% and 6.9%, respectively.

The market jitters were fueled by investor uncertainty over the details of China's plans to support its faltering economy, which are expected to be announced later on Tuesday. The Chinese government has been under pressure to introduce measures to bolster growth amid a protracted economic slowdown exacerbated by the lingering effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and global trade tensions.
