Harbin Electric's stock plummeted 7.59% during intraday trading on Friday, reflecting significant selling pressure.
The decline comes amid broad weakness in the Heavy Electrical Equipment sector, with peers also experiencing losses. Market participants attribute the selling pressure to regulatory actions against certain Hong Kong-based brokerages, which has particularly impacted stocks excluded from the Stock Connect program like Harbin Electric.
Recent shareholding disclosures showing JP Morgan reducing its position in the company have added to the negative sentiment, contributing to the sharp intraday decline.
