On June 24, Meitu Inc fell 5.21% in regular trading, trading at HKD 3.82/share, with turnover of HKD 166 million, extending a multi-day correction.
On the news front, the decline continues a post-event selloff following Meitu's Image Festival on June 18, where the company launched 8 AI products. Market reaction remained muted as investors perceived a lack of breakthrough innovations. Additionally, market sources indicated Morgan Stanley sold approximately 10 million shares in a late-session block trade, intensifying institutional selling pressure. The company also released supplementary disclosures regarding a prior incident in which an employee accidentally leaked financial information on social media, leading to a brief trading halt in March.
Notably, the company has conducted consecutive buybacks on June 22 and 23, repurchasing a combined 9.63 million shares totaling HKD 39.75 million, yet the stock declined approximately 8% during that period. Year-to-date, Meitu has executed 14 buybacks totaling HKD 214 million. Analysts at Everbright Securities and Jefferies maintain Buy ratings with target prices significantly above current levels.
