Movement Alert|GEEKPLUS-W Declines 5.02% in Regular Trading, Warburg Pincus Major Stake Reduction Continues to Weigh on Sentiment

Market Focus07-30 13:03

On July 30, GEEKPLUS-W declined 5.02% in regular trading, hitting a new post-IPO low at HKD 8.87 per share, with turnover of HKD 62.08 million.

The decline follows the continued market digestion of Warburg Pincus's large-scale divestment. On July 27, the company disclosed that Marcasite Gem Holdings Limited, a vehicle of top institutional shareholder Warburg Pincus, sold a cumulative 88.605 million shares through three off-market block trades on July 14, 15, and 20. The stake was reduced from approximately 13.43% to 4.78%, formally exiting major shareholder status. The disposal generated approximately HKD 829 million in proceeds. Concurrently, non-executive director Chen Hejiang, a Warburg Pincus nominee, resigned from the board effective July 27.

While market commentary suggests the overhang from unlock-related selling pressure has been largely crystallized, the stock continues to face residual selling momentum. The company has maintained an active buyback program throughout July, repurchasing shares on multiple trading days, signaling management's view that the current share price is materially below intrinsic value.
