The Hong Kong stock market is really weak recently, and there is little response to good news, and the foot is soft when the wind blows. Under the impact of the news that Tencent (700) may reduce its holdings in Meituan (3690), the Hang Seng Index finally fell below the 20,000-point mark.
The news of Tencent’s sale of Meituan was exposed by foreign sources. Under the shadow of the release of a large number of shares, Meituan’s share price reacted immediately. Meituan plunged 9% to close at 164.5 yuan, the worst performing blue-chip stock; Tencent bucked the market and rose 0.9% to close at the report 303 yuan; Kuaishou (1024) plunged 4% to close at 71.9 yuan; Weimeng Group (2013) plunged 15.5% to close at 3.6 yuan. According to foreign sources, Tencent’s move is to appease regulators. Tencent did not respond to the news at first. Later, the mainland industry media quoted the news that there was no plan. It is not ruled out that the news triggered the stock market to fall, so it came out to send reassurance.
Tencent’s reduction in Meituan’s holdings fears death
Mainland regulators expressed concern regarding the monopoly threat of the giant technology network company, and Tencent responded by distributing its JD.com shares. It is unclear whether the regulators are satisfied. At present, Tencent still holds 17% of Meituan, which is not a low share. Meituan is regarded as one of the apps with the highest penetration rate in the mainland. It is not ruled out that the two need to be cut. Foreign power’s argument is groundless, not necessarily without reason. Now that the news is exposed, and there is indirect news to deny it, it may be that the repercussions are relatively large, so it is not ruled out that the action will meet the light of death.
A plan involving more than 100 billion yuan cannot be done at will, but the news of the reduction has already come out. There are several possible effects. One of them is that the regulators feel that the impact is too great and will not force the two to separate. It is not ruled out that it will have the opposite effect. For the stock price of Meituan, the shadow of the reduction is not easy to dissipate. Some people will wonder, since Tencent can break away from JD.com by allocating shares, whether it can take the same approach. However, from Tencent’s point of view, if it distributes a large amount of assets and does not recover the funds, the advantages will be reduced in the future if it has to do large-scale projects, so the situation is a bit embarrassing.
Tencent may sell Meituan or have capital needs, which is also a common phenomenon among major shareholders of technology stocks recently. Previously, Tencent South Africa’s major shareholders overturned their promise not to reduce their holdings, indicating that they would reduce their shares in an orderly manner according to market prices, and then hold a large number of Alibaba ( 9988) Japan’s SoftBank is also preparing to sell Ali’s shares in order to raise funds for a buyback. The growth of Internet stocks has slowed down in the past two years, and the business model has entered a mature stage. Major shareholders are preparing to cash out and re-invest. Under the climate of large investors reducing their holdings, the second-hand supply of this category of shares is quite sufficient, and the valuation is believed to be easy to fall and difficult to rise.
