On June 4, Yancoal Energy fell 5.66% in regular trading, trading at HKD 14.77 per share, with trading volume of HKD 225 million. The decline was triggered by the company's post-market announcement on June 3 regarding a major acquisition plan.

Yancoal Energy announced it will acquire 100% equity of New Energy Group and Shandong Energy Power Sales from its controlling shareholder Shandong Energy Group for a total cash consideration of RMB 164.15 billion. The core target's valuation carries a premium of approximately 110%. The transaction requires full cash payment, with approximately RMB 4.925 billion due within five business days of the agreement taking effect. Upon completion, the company's debt-to-asset ratio is expected to rise from 62.2% to approximately 65%.

The market remains divided over the financial strain from the large all-cash payment obligation and the high-premium related-party transaction nature of the deal, resulting in notable selling pressure on H-shares during the session. The acquisition aims to expand Yancoal's power generation capacity from approximately 1,550 MW to 13,560 MW and accelerate its clean energy transition.
