Movement Alert｜China Hongqiao Falls 3.14% in Regular Trading, Aluminum Sector Weakness Compounded by Convertible Bond Dilution Concerns

On June 16, China Hongqiao fell 3.14% in regular trading, trading at HK$25.36/share, with turnover of HK$144 million.

On the news front, the aluminum sector continued its broad-based decline, with peers CHALCO down 2.12%, Nanshan Aluminium International down 3.39%, and RUSAL down 4.62%, reflecting significant sector-wide selling pressure. Meanwhile, the company previously announced a downward adjustment of its convertible bond conversion price from HK$19.36 to HK$18.44 per share, with a maximum of approximately 126 million new shares issuable upon full conversion, sustaining market concerns over equity dilution. Additionally, the company's approximately HK$3.079 billion share buyback program has been fully executed, removing a key source of sustained buying support.

Although the controlling shareholder recently acquired 21 million shares at an average price of approximately HK$26.46 and stated that the current share price deviates from the company's intrinsic value, short-term sector-linked downward pressure remains the dominant force. Citigroup maintains a Buy rating with a target price of HK$48, citing an estimated dividend yield of 9.1% for the current fiscal year.
