On August 6, HESAI-W-NEW fell 5.01% in regular trading, trading at HK$17.07/share, with turnover of HK$46.53 million. The stock continues to trade near its 52-week low of HK$14.29.

The decline comes amid broad weakness in the Auto Parts & Equipment sector and persistent market concerns over margin compression ahead of the company's scheduled second-quarter earnings release on August 18. Recent industry analysis highlights that despite Hesai's 43% global long-range ADAS lidar market share and four consecutive quarters of GAAP profitability, the stock remains under valuation pressure. Key concerns include Q1 gross margin declining to 39.1% from 41.7% a year earlier as lower-priced products gain revenue share, intensifying price competition to penetrate the 150,000-200,000 yuan vehicle segment, and the growing pure-vision autonomous driving approach potentially reducing lidar demand.

Within the Auto Parts & Equipment sector, ZHEJIANG SHIBAO fell 5.66%, JOHNSON ELEC H fell 3.05%, FUYAO GLASS fell 1.81%, while PATEO rose 2.17% and TR INTERIORS rose 10.0%.
