WEIMOB INC, a software-as-a-service company, saw its stock price plummet by 5.85% during the intraday trading session on Monday. This sharp decline can be attributed to Tencent, a major shareholder, significantly reducing its stake in the company.
According to a filing with the Hong Kong Exchange, Tencent sold an aggregate of 184,020,000 shares, or 5.45%, in WEIMOB INC on January 3 and January 6. After this transaction, Tencent now holds only 99,170,461 shares, or 2.94% of the shares, in the SaaS company.
The substantial reduction in Tencent's shareholding appears to have sparked concerns among investors, leading to the significant sell-off and the 5.85% plunge in WEIMOB INC's stock price during the intraday trading session.
