On the news front, the company completed a placement of 14.857 million new H-shares on July 13 at HK$476 per share, representing approximately a 15% discount to the pre-placement closing price, raising net proceeds of approximately HK$7.034 billion. The placement, launched just six months after the company's IPO, triggered dilution concerns as the new shares account for roughly 5.52% of the enlarged share capital. Cornerstone investor lock-up expirations have further expanded the free float, intensifying selling pressure since the stock's June high of HK$887.5.
