Ganfeng Lithium's stock plummeted 5.15% intraday, extending its recent period of weakness in the market.
The sharp decline was driven by multiple bearish factors. Institutional investor Baillie Gifford & Co further reduced its position in the company, lowering its stake. Concurrently, high spot prices for lithium carbonate are suppressing downstream procurement willingness, while news that SQM raised its full-year shipment guidance has intensified supply-side pressure, widening market divergence.
These combined factors of institutional selling, demand headwinds from elevated raw material costs, and heightened supply concerns contributed to the significant sell-off in Ganfeng Lithium's shares during the trading session.
