On September 1, MONTAGE TECH fell 3.27% in regular trading, trading at HKD 260.2/share, with turnover of HKD 197 million. The decline was driven by a confluence of an analyst target price cut and continued profit-taking following the company's interim results.

CLSA recently lowered its H-share target price from HKD 454.2 to HKD 433.8 while maintaining an outperform rating, citing a Q2 gross margin decline of 8 percentage points quarter-over-quarter to 61.8%, attributed to a rising revenue share of lower-margin products and increased supply chain costs. The brokerage correspondingly trimmed its earnings forecasts.

Although the company reported strong H1 results on August 28 — revenue of RMB 3.335 billion (+26.7% YoY) and net profit of RMB 1.997 billion (+72.3% YoY) — the A-share listing had already surged 10.06% on August 27, fully pricing in the earnings beat. This classic buy-the-rumor-sell-the-fact dynamic has sustained selling pressure. Additionally, institutional activity has weighed on sentiment, with JPMorgan reducing its H-share position by approximately 517,900 shares and Morgan Stanley trimming its stake to 6.94%.
