On September 11, CATL fell 3.03% in regular trading, trading at 544.5 HKD/share, with turnover of approximately 207 million HKD.
On the news front, Hong Kong Exchange filings revealed that BlackRock reduced its long position in CATL H-shares from 6.07% to 5.85% on September 4, selling approximately 493,500 shares at an average price of around 570.14 HKD per share, sending a clear signal of international capital exiting at elevated levels. Meanwhile, the company's previously announced 20-40 billion yuan A-share buyback program, approved by shareholders on August 12, has yet to see any execution as of August 31, with continued inaction eroding investor confidence.
Adding to the pressure, automakers are progressively pursuing battery supply diversification. Li Auto recently announced the rollout of its self-developed battery system across all models, while GAC, Dongfeng, and Geely have also invested in proprietary battery development, with some already achieving mass production capability. However, Morgan Stanley noted that switching costs away from CATL remain high, with the company's brand recognition among consumers significantly stronger than five years ago. Since its May intraday high, CATL's A-share price has retreated approximately 27%, with total market capitalization declining by roughly 600 billion yuan.
