Kuaishou-W's stock soared 5.08% during Monday's intraday trading session, marking a significant upward movement for the Chinese short-video platform.
The surge appears to be driven by multiple factors including a technical rebound following the stock's recent decline, aggressive share repurchases by the company, and increased institutional investment. Kuaishou recently repurchased approximately 1.1076 million shares and has conducted 35 buybacks year-to-date totaling approximately HK$1.969 billion.
Additionally, major financial institutions including JPMorgan and BlackRock have recently increased their stakes in the company, while the broader Interactive Media and Services sector showed positive momentum with peers like Bilibili-W and Tencent also trading higher.
