On July 10, Zhipu (02513.HK) declined 5.76% in regular trading, trading at 1917.0 HKD/share, with turnover of HK$11.62 billion. The pullback follows two consecutive sessions of outsized gains after the company completed a HK$31.41 billion share placement and navigated its cornerstone investor lockup expiry.

On July 9, Zhipu priced a placement of 19.78 million new H shares at HK$1,588 each, representing a roughly 13% discount to the prior close of HK$1,825. The newly issued shares expand the total share capital by approximately 4.25%, increasing supply and creating dilutive pressure. Despite the discount, the stock surged as much as 20% on July 9 as international long-only funds, industrial investors, and institutional buyers broadly subscribed. CLSA noted in a report that Zhipu shares would likely experience heightened volatility in subsequent sessions due to increased liquidity and frequent newsflow following the lockup expiry of approximately 25.68 million cornerstone shares on July 8.

Today's decline appears consistent with profit-taking after the stock rallied over 30% across the two prior sessions, as the market digests the expanded float and placement dilution.
