Shares of Guming (01364.HK) experienced a significant intraday decline of over 12%. At the time of writing, the stock was down 6.65% to HK$20.2, with a turnover of HK$533 million.

The movement follows the company's recent announcement that it has completed the subscription for a HK$1.96 billion zero-coupon guaranteed convertible bond offering. The proceeds are earmarked for several purposes: approximately 20% for raw material and equipment procurement; around 30% for repaying existing bank borrowings; about 40% for share repurchases; and roughly 5% for research and development as well as overseas expansion.

In a related research note, Bank of America Securities indicated that channel checks suggest Guming's net new store openings for the first half of 2026 were around 800, significantly below the full-year guidance of over 3,000 stores. The firm anticipates the full-year net new store additions to be approximately 2,000.

Due to the lower-than-expected store opening figures, Bank of America has revised its earnings per share forecasts for Guming for 2026 and 2027 downward by 7% and 8%, respectively. Consequently, the firm has also lowered its target price for the stock from HK$35 to HK$30.
