On September 7, SIGENERGY fell 11.3% in regular trading, trading at HKD 320.4/share, with turnover of HKD 273 million.
On the news front, the Hang Seng Index Company had previously announced that SIGENERGY would be included in the Hang Seng Composite Index, with changes implemented after the close on September 4 and officially taking effect on September 7. The company simultaneously became eligible for inclusion in the Stock Connect program. With approximately USD 106.6 billion in passive assets tracking the Hang Seng Index series as of mid-year, index inclusion typically drives anticipatory buying. The stock had already surged over 9% on August 25 following the announcement, meaning substantial gains had been accumulated ahead of the effective date.
The convergence of the index inclusion formally taking effect and significant prior appreciation appears to have triggered concentrated selling from short-term profit-takers. Fundamentally, the company reported H1 revenue of RMB 9.87 billion, up 261% year-over-year, with net profit of RMB 2.43 billion, up 201%. Multiple brokerages including Citi and CLSA have initiated coverage with buy ratings and target prices ranging from HKD 500 to HKD 601.
