On June 26, Ganfeng Lithium fell 3.13% in regular trading, trading at 50.95 HKD/share, with turnover of approximately 115 million HKD. The decline was driven by continued weakness in lithium carbonate futures and mounting supply-side pressures.
On the news front, the lithium carbonate main contract slumped to 150,840 yuan/ton, marking a single-day drop of 5.5%. The Guangzhou Futures Exchange recently tightened position limits on lithium carbonate futures for non-delivery months, while warehouse receipt volumes remain at historical highs, forming significant potential selling pressure. Additionally, CATL subsidiary Yichun Times re-obtained the land pre-approval and site selection certificate for its Jianxiawo lithium mine project on June 17, with analysts estimating the mine — one of the world's largest single lepidolite deposits — could resume production in Q4, further suppressing lithium price expectations.
Within the Specialty Chemicals sector, Tianqi Lithium fell 2.85% in tandem, reflecting broad-based weakness across lithium mining stocks. JPMorgan earlier maintained a Neutral rating on Ganfeng Lithium with a target price of 70 HKD, noting that commodity and equity market sentiment may remain difficult to reverse in the near term.
