COSCO SHIPPING Holdings Co., Ltd. released its Next Day Disclosure Return for 31 July 2026, detailing a series of on-market repurchases of A-shares on the Shanghai Stock Exchange during 7–31 July 2026.
Key figures • Outstanding share capital: The company’s issued share count stood at 12.56 billion as of both 28 July and 31 July 2026, reflecting no new share issues or cancellations during the period. • Shares repurchased for cancellation (not yet cancelled): 29.12 million shares, equal to approximately 0.23 % of the current issued share base. • Repurchase price range: RMB 13.79–15.37 per share. • Latest transaction: On 31 July 2026, 435,400 shares were bought back at prices between RMB 15.33 and RMB 15.40, for a total consideration of RMB 6.69 million.
Repurchase breakdown Seventeen separate buyback transactions were executed between 7 July and 31 July 2026. Individual daily volumes ranged from about 435,400 shares to 3.00 million shares. The highest daily average price was RMB 15.37 on 31 July, while the lowest was RMB 13.79 on 7 July. All repurchased shares are intended for cancellation, which, once completed, will proportionally reduce the company’s share capital.
Compliance confirmation The board of COSCO SHIPPING confirmed that each repurchase was duly authorized and conducted in accordance with the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited, as well as applicable regulations of the Shanghai Stock Exchange. All requisite funds have been settled, and the company affirms that no material changes have occurred to the repurchase mandate disclosed in the explanatory statement dated 6 May 2026.
Outlook Following cancellation, the reduction of 29.12 million shares will marginally lower the total issued share capital by about 0.23 %, potentially enhancing per-share metrics. The company remains within its approved buyback mandate and is subject to the customary 30-day moratorium on new share issues or treasury share sales following the 31 July transaction.
