Shandong Molong's stock plummeted 9.89% during intraday trading. The sharp decline extended losses from the previous session as selling pressure mounted.

According to market analysis, the downturn was primarily driven by intensified profit-taking from investors. This followed the full absorption of earlier positive market catalysts, which had previously driven the stock higher. The catalysts included Barclays PLC's significant increase in holdings of the company's H-shares and the announcement of a shareholder meeting to vote on a general H-share mandate, which the market had interpreted as positive signals for potential overseas financing.

Furthermore, the overall weak sentiment in the Oil & Gas Equipment & Services sector provided no supportive backdrop, with several peers also trading lower during the session.
