Recently, BYD released its performance forecast for the third quarter and the first three quarters of this year. Due to its outstanding performance, BYD's stock price also rose sharply yesterday. However, Hong Kong Stock Exchange documents show that BlackRock, the world's largest asset management institution, reduced its holdings in BYD shares, and its shareholding ratio dropped from 6.21% to 5.85%. Regarding the specific reasons for the reduction, BYD responded: "The company has tried to communicate with shareholders, but has not learned any substantial information. Reducing shares is the free choice of shareholders.
Since July this year, BlackRock has increased its holdings twice in BYD H shares, and on the latest October 10 and 11, the institution has conducted another reduction and increase in holdings. Some industry insiders analyzed that BlackRock has the trading habit of frequent operations, which is a short-term behavior and may not be closely related to BYD itself.
is not just BYD. BlackRock has recently reduced its holdings in many Hong Kong stocks, including Conch Cement , Fosun Pharma , China Aluminum , etc. According to BlackRock's forecast, the risks caused by the economic recession and the comprehensive impact of interest rate hike are not reflected in the price of stock assets, so the stock price has room for further decline. This may also be one of the reasons for its reduction in BYD.
