Share repurchases by Chinese listed firms grew to the largest in almost a year as the war in Iran brought down stock prices, Bloomberg reported Wednesday.
Forty-three firms in Shanghai and Shenzhen bought back 25.6 billion yuan of shares during the month, Bloomberg said, citing its data.
The figure is the largest monthly total since firms repurchased 67.6 billion yuan of shares in April 2025 due to U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff threats, the report said.
Midea (SHE:000333, HKG:0300) plans to buy back up to 13 billion yuan of its sharse, while Haier Smart Home (HKG:6690, SHA:600690) said it would buy back 6 billion yuan of shares.
Juneyao Airlines (SHA:603885) was aiming for up to 500 million yuan of shares.
