On August 18, SENSETIME-W fell 3.27% in regular trading, trading at HKD 1.475/share, with turnover of HKD 263 million. The decline came one session after the stock surged nearly 9% on a landmark earnings announcement.

The pullback is attributed to profit-taking following the companys August 16 positive profit warning, which disclosed that the group expects to record a net profit of RMB 500 million to RMB 700 million for the first half of the year, compared with a loss of approximately RMB 1.49 billion in the year-ago period. This marks the first consolidated profit since the companys Hong Kong listing. The turnaround was driven by narrowing losses in core business segments and fair value gains from its strategic AI ecosystem investment portfolio.

Sector-wide weakness in application software stocks amplified selling pressure, with KINGDEE INTL down 6.15%, MININGLAMP-W down 7.01%, and MARKETINGFORCE down 7.49% during the same session.
