Shares of Bilibili Inc., a popular Chinese video-sharing and entertainment platform, plummeted by 11.26% on October 3, 2024, joining a broader sell-off in U.S.-listed Chinese stocks. The sharp decline came after a recent surge fueled by China's economic stimulus measures, as investors reassessed the valuations of these Chinese American Depositary Receipts (ADRs).
The sell-off in Bilibili's shares mirrored the movement in Hong Kong stocks, which fell on Thursday after taking a pause from the rally driven by China's stimulus measures. Other notable Chinese companies, including e-commerce giants Alibaba and JD.com, gaming and social media firms like Tencent Music Entertainment Group and Weibo, as well as electric vehicle maker Nio, also experienced pre-market declines ranging from 2.9% to 6.2%.
While the recent stimulus measures had initially boosted Chinese stocks, investors appear to be taking profits and reevaluating the valuations of these companies. The decline in Bilibili's shares also reflects a broader sell-off in U.S.-listed Chinese ADRs, as investors reassess the potential impact of ongoing geopolitical tensions and regulatory uncertainties on these companies.
