On June 23, Meituan-W declined 3.13% in regular trading, trading at HK$69.55/share, with turnover of HK$684 million. The stock has been under sustained pressure from a confluence of regulatory actions and competitive controversies.
On the news front, market regulators recently summoned Meituan regarding compliance issues spanning marketing practices, anti-monopoly concerns, rider rights protection, and prepaid consumption management, requiring the platform to strictly fulfill its principal responsibilities. Separately, media reports emerged alleging Meituan engaged in paid collection of negative information about competitors, with internal communications suggesting staff were tasked with gathering adverse cases from merchants regarding rival platforms through financial incentives.
The broader regulatory environment has intensified following the release of the Ten Rules for Takeout Platform Subsidy Behavior draft, aimed at curbing irrational subsidy wars that have collectively cost major platforms an estimated RMB 80-100 billion. Within the Internet and Direct Marketing Retail sector, weakness was widespread, with Alibaba-W down 3.16% and JD.com-SW down 4.65%.
