On June 8, China Hongqiao fell 5.2% in regular trading, trading at HK$25.58/share, with trading volume of HK$811 million. The aluminum sector experienced broad-based selling pressure, with peers CHALCO down 5.67%, Chuangxin Industrial down 4.53%, Nanshan Aluminium International down 3.86%, and RUSAL down 3.39%.
The decline extends a recent downtrend fueled by multiple headwinds. On June 2, the company announced that the conversion price of its US$300 million 1.50% convertible bonds due 2030 was lowered from HK$19.36 to HK$18.44 per share, effective June 3, following a dividend declaration. If fully converted, the bonds could result in the issuance of up to 126.4 million new shares, intensifying market concerns over equity dilution. Additionally, the company's HK$3.079 billion buyback program has been fully executed, removing a key source of sustained buying support.
Southbound capital flows have further amplified selling pressure. On June 4 alone, southbound funds net sold approximately HK$581 million of China Hongqiao, with cumulative net reduction of over 30 million shares over the preceding five trading days, indicating persistent institutional outflows.
