On July 16, Ganfeng Lithium (01772.HK) fell 3.75% in regular trading, trading at HKD 39.26 per share with turnover of approximately HKD 86.82 million, extending the prior session's decline.

On the news front, the company disclosed a positive profit alert on July 14, forecasting H1 net profit attributable to shareholders of RMB 3.65 billion to RMB 4.6 billion, a significant turnaround from a net loss of RMB 531 million in the same period last year. While the headline figure impressed, the market noted that Q2 net profit of RMB 1.81–2.76 billion implies quarter-over-quarter variation ranging from -1% to +50%, raising concerns over earnings visibility. Having already rallied substantially before the announcement, the stock now faces pronounced profit-taking pressure as the positive catalyst is fully priced in.

Within the Specialty Chemicals sector, the overall tone remained weak. Among peers, Dongyue Group fell 1.51%, Tianqi Lithium fell 1.20%, China Boton fell 1.44%, Huabao International rose 0.66%, and Global New Material fell 0.26%.
