The_King Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 The last thing Hong Kong’s struggling stock market needs is for the shares of a $1.9 billion listed company to plunge 99% in 15 minutes. That's the fate that befell China Tianrui Group Cement (1252.HK), opens new tab as trading drew to a close on Tuesday. At present outsiders can only guess at what caused the problem. Tianrui is hardly an unknown company. U.S. private equity powerhouse KKR chose it for its first mainland China investment in 2007, before helping to take it public four years later. And the company has supplied cement for major infrastructure ventures such as the South–North Water Transfer Project. Chinese media often describes its chair, Li Liufa, who along with his wife owns about 69% in Tianrui, as “the richest man in Henan province”. Trouble is, substantial shareholders don’t need to disclose whether they have borrowed against their stock unless it's related to an issuer's financing. Tianrui, for example, said in a January filing that Yu Kuo, the vehicle that holds Li's shares, pledged 97 million shares - just under 5%, opens new tab of its holdings - to secure a 12-month loan for the group. On the face of it, though, that seems too small to trigger such a massive price drop. https://www.reuters.com/breakingviews/hong-kongs-latest-problem-is-99-nosedive-2024-04-10/ https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...na-outlook-to-negative-on-steady-rise-in-debt 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
