On August 13, MMG fell 3.6% in regular trading, trading at HKD 8.585/share, with turnover of HKD 97.12 million. The decline was triggered by the company's announcement of a proposed new share placement under general mandate, alongside the simultaneous issuance of convertible bonds for financing purposes.

Market concerns over persistent equity dilution intensified, as the company had already placed approximately 706 million new shares at HKD 8.88 per share in June. The current stock price has now fallen below the previous placement price, amplifying investor anxiety over further capital raising. Notably, MMG had just released record-breaking interim results on August 11, reporting first-half net profit attributable to equity holders of USD 807 million, up 164% year-on-year, with revenue of USD 4.54 billion rising 61%. The stock had briefly opened over 5% higher on August 12 following the earnings release, but the new financing announcement has swiftly reversed sentiment.

Within the Diversified Metals and Mining sector, peers also traded lower, with Zijin Mining down 1.5%, CMOC down 2.76%, and Wanguo Gold Group down 3.71%.
