Market Focus07-28

On July 28, ILUVATAR COREX fell 6.28% in regular trading, trading at 564.0 HKD/share, with turnover of approximately HKD 114 million. The stock has now accumulated a decline exceeding 23% since the beginning of July.

On the news front, the Hong Kong stock market is facing a wave of cornerstone investor lock-up expiries, with July being one of the three peak months for unlock pressure. Additionally, the company completed a discounted placement of approximately HKD 7 billion in mid-July at a roughly 15% discount to the prevailing market price, and the resulting short-term supply-side overhang has yet to be fully digested.

Institutions have previously flagged that trading crowdedness in the chip sector stands at historical highs. This, combined with growing market skepticism over whether massive AI computing capex can translate into sustainable long-term returns, has kept the broader semiconductor sector under sustained adjustment pressure. Within the sector, SMIC rose 2.69% and HUA HONG GRACE gained 1.88%, while GIGADEVICE fell 7.6%, MONTAGE TECH declined 4.97%, and BIREN TECH dropped 3.68%.
