Movement Alert|Mingming Henmang Falls 3.06% in Regular Trading, Elevated Valuation and Short-Selling Pressure Extend Decline

Market Focus05-29

On May 29, Mingming Henmang (01768.HK) fell 3.06% in regular trading, trading at HKD 335.4/share, with trading volume of HKD 263 million. The stock has weakened over consecutive sessions, approaching its post-listing low.

On the news front, the stock faces multiple headwinds. April social retail sales growth decelerated, weighing on the broader food and beverage sector. The snack food sector trades at historically low valuations with PE ratios generally at 15-20x, yet Mingming Henmang maintains a forward PE near 30x, significantly above industry averages. Meanwhile, short-selling data shows the stock's short ratio deviation reached 155.18%, ranking among the top three in the sector, indicating concentrated bearish positioning.

Additionally, while the company announced its inclusion in the Hang Seng Composite Index on May 22 with implementation scheduled for June, the market exhibited a sell-the-news reaction, with funds taking profits on the announcement. Despite bullish investment bank consensus targeting HKD 492.84, near-term sentiment remains under pressure from valuation concerns and active short interest.
