Movement Alert|Chalco Rises 3.32% in Regular Trading, JPMorgan Increases Stake as Multiple Institutions See Sector Recovery

Market Focus07-10

On July 10, Chalco (02600.HK) rose 3.32% in regular trading, reaching HK$7.75 per share, with turnover of approximately HK$40.34 million.

On the news front, JPMorgan acquired approximately 12.69 million shares of Chalco on July 2 at an average price of HK$7.41, lifting its stake to 6.04% at a cost of roughly HK$93.99 million. Additionally, CICC issued a research note stating that pessimistic expectations for the aluminum sector have been excessively priced in, and the sector is poised for a rational recovery. UBS, while lowering its aluminum price forecast, maintained a Buy rating on Chalco, noting the current valuation sits at a historical trough of 5-6x price-to-earnings ratio. Barclays also recently raised its Chalco H-share stake above 5%.

The broader aluminum sector strengthened collectively, with China Hongqiao rising 3.18% and Nanshan Aluminum International gaining 2.28%. The institutional accumulation signals and valuation-floor arguments appear to be offsetting recent bearish headwinds from concerns over Middle East supply recovery and Goldman Sachs's earlier downgrade.
