On September 8, CATL fell 3.23% in regular trading, trading at HK$554.0/share, with turnover of HK$247 million.
The decline was primarily driven by growing market frustration over the company's delayed share buyback. CATL's RMB 20-40 billion A-share buyback plan, approved at the extraordinary general meeting on August 12, had seen no execution as of August 31. The prolonged inaction has disappointed investors who had anticipated a near-term catalyst. Compounding the negative sentiment, CATL recently sold down its stake in Hunan Yuneng, realizing over RMB 500 million in proceeds, which heightened market wariness about industrial capital exiting at elevated levels.
Meanwhile, the broader lithium battery sector remained under pressure. Within the Electrical Components & Equipment sector, SIGENERGY fell 1.44%, REPT BATTERO dropped 1.44%, ZHIDA TECH declined 1.23%, and CNGR slipped 0.48%, while TIME INTERCON rose 2.43%.
