On June 23, Nine Dragons Paper fell 5.01% in regular trading, trading at HK$6.45/share, with turnover of HK$54.24 million. The decline reflects continued unwinding of gains following the company's mid-June rally, compounded by broad-based sector weakness.

The paper products sector came under significant pressure, with Lee and Man Paper falling 6.11% and Chenming Paper declining 1.47%, dragging on individual stocks systemically. Nine Dragons Paper had surged over 11% in mid-June after announcing a US$400 million cash tender offer for its 14.00% perpetual securities and securing a RMB 2 billion three-year bank loan. However, the stock has since given back those gains substantially over the past week.

On the ratings front, CLSA previously downgraded Nine Dragons Paper to a sell rating, citing weak market sentiment, a lack of near-term catalysts, and expectations that paper mill profit margins will remain under pressure. Despite multiple brokerages maintaining buy or outperform ratings with target prices ranging from HK$8.4 to HK$12, the stock has failed to hold its post-announcement gains amid the bearish industry backdrop.
