On May 21, J&T Global Express (01519.HK) declined 3.06% in regular trading, trading at HKD 8.56 per share, with trading volume of HKD 191 million.

On the news front, the company announced on May 20 that it granted a total of 43.24 million Class B shares to 208 group employees under its 2024 share incentive plan, representing approximately 0.5475% of issued share capital. This creates dilution pressure on existing shareholders. Following the issuance, total issued shares rose to approximately 7.97 billion.

Additionally, the express delivery industry is facing a historic inflection point. The industry target volume for this year is approximately 214 billion parcels, representing year-over-year growth of only about 8%, a sharp deceleration from 13.6% last year and 21.5% the year before. Intensifying unit-price competition has compressed profit margins to near-breakeven levels, raising market concerns over the company's competitive positioning and earnings outlook in China.

Within the Air Freight and Logistics sector, ZTO Express-W rose 2.64%, JD Logistics rose 1.17%, SF Holding rose 0.43%, while SF Intra-City fell 2.21%.
