Movement Alert|ILUVATAR COREX Falls 3.55% in Regular Trading, Semiconductor Sector Sell-Off Compounds Lock-Up Expiry Pressure

Market Focus07-27

On July 27, ILUVATAR COREX fell 3.55% in regular trading, trading at 528.5 HKD/share, with turnover of HKD 76.39 million. The decline comes amid a broad semiconductor sector rout compounded by mounting lock-up expiry pressure on recently listed companies.

The Hong Kong stock market is facing a wave of cornerstone investor lock-up expirations, with July being one of the three peak months for share unlocks. ILUVATAR COREX has accumulated a decline of over 23% since the start of July. Additionally, the company completed a roughly 15%-discounted placement of approximately HKD 7 billion in mid-July, and selling pressure from this supply-side overhang has not yet been fully absorbed. Institutions have flagged that trading crowdedness in the chip sector remains at historically elevated levels, while concerns persist over whether massive AI computing capital expenditures can translate into long-term returns.

Within the Semiconductors sector, individual stocks declined broadly. Among them, HUA HONG GRACE down 7.88%, SMIC down 3.85%, GIGADEVICE down 8.27%, MONTAGE TECH down 8.96%, BIREN TECH down 8.13%.
