On July 17, Nexchip Semiconductor (02249.HK) fell 3.23% in regular trading, trading at HK$29.5 per share, with turnover of HK$42.93 million. The stock has now declined approximately 8.7% from its July 10 IPO price of HK$32.30.

The semiconductor sector faced broad-based selling pressure, with SMIC down 4.92%, Hua Hong Grace down 5.21%, GigaDevice down 8.58%, Montage Tech down 7.39%, and Iluvatar CoreX down 4.31%, creating significant sector-wide drag on the stock.

Additionally, large-scale position transfers have intensified short-term selling pressure. On July 14 and July 15, transfers totaling HK$479 million and HK$351 million respectively were recorded, representing over 12% of issued H-shares combined. The frequent turnover of holdings since listing has weighed on sentiment, as the stock has failed to sustain its opening-day gains when it initially surged 11.46% before reversing sharply.
