Weichai Power's stock experienced a significant intraday decline of 5.13%, marking a sharp pullback in Friday's trading session.
The drop appears to be driven by broad sector weakness and profit-taking activity following a recent strong rally. The stock has been retreating for consecutive sessions after surging over 14% in a single day earlier in the week to reach an all-time high. Within the Construction Machinery and Heavy Trucks sector, peers including SINOTRUK, SANY HEAVY INDUSTRY, and ZOOMLION also traded lower, indicating a sector-wide downturn.
This correction occurs despite recent bullish analyst sentiment. Goldman Sachs recently raised its target price for Weichai Power's H-shares and maintained a Buy rating, citing the stock as the most inexpensive name in the global AI data center power supply chain based on P/E valuation. The company's data center power generation products reported over 240% year-over-year growth in the first quarter, contributing to substantial year-to-date gains prior to this pullback.
