On July 16, Weichai Power (02338.HK) fell 3.14% in regular trading, trading at HK$31.78/share, with turnover of HK$195 million. The decline extends a multi-day selloff as the stock digests negative signals from a restricted share cancellation announcement.

On July 14, the company disclosed it had repurchased and cancelled 21.924 million A-share restricted stocks at RMB 4.894 per share, totaling approximately RMB 107 million. The cancellation was triggered because the company-level performance targets for the second unlocking period of its 2023 A-Share Restricted Stock Incentive Plan were not met, affecting 664 incentive recipients. Following the cancellation, total share capital decreased from approximately 8.662 billion shares to 8.640 billion shares.

The missed performance hurdle has been interpreted by the market as a signal of operational pressure. Additionally, the Construction Machinery and Heavy Trucks sector has been broadly weak in recent sessions, with peers also under selling pressure. The stock has now declined for four consecutive trading days since July 13.
