On June 18, Wasion Holdings fell 5.1% in regular trading, trading at HK$20.52/share, with turnover of HK$87.82 million. The decline came as the market viewed the company's newly announced share buyback plan as insufficient to counter persistent placement dilution pressure.
On June 16, the company announced a share repurchase plan of up to HK$200 million to be executed on the open market before its next AGM. The announcement initially triggered a rebound of over 6% on June 17, but buying momentum quickly faded. The stock reversed sharply today as investors reassessed the buyback's limited scale relative to the April placement of 50 million shares at approximately 6% discount, which raised around HK$1.474 billion.
The placement's dilution effect remains the core overhang. The current share price sits roughly 12% below the chairman's purchase price of HK$23.2 per share, underscoring weak market confidence. Despite supportive factors including subsidiary Weyuan Energy securing over RMB 1.6 billion in new overseas contracts, liquidity constraints in the Hong Kong market continue to amplify downside volatility.
