Fenbi's stock price plummeted 5.36% during Thursday's midday trading session, reflecting significant selling pressure.
The sharp decline followed the company's announcement that it granted 10.2 million restricted share units to 185 employees at no cost under its 2023 incentive scheme. Market participants typically view such large equity grants as dilutive to existing shareholders, which can trigger negative sentiment and prompt investors to sell their holdings.
The share units, granted with a closing price of HK$1.12, will vest over three to four years, representing a long-term compensation commitment that investors may have priced into the stock negatively during the session.
