On August 24, CSOP HS TECH declined 3.25% in regular trading, trading at HK$4.52/share, with turnover of HK$735 million. The ETF tracked the broader sell-off in the Hang Seng Tech Index, which saw its decline widen to over 2% intraday.
The decline was triggered by Alibaba announcing its first share placement since its Hong Kong listing, placing 710 million new shares at HK$112.7 per share, with expected gross proceeds of HK$80 billion earmarked entirely for AI infrastructure investment. Alibaba shares fell over 8% on the dilution concerns, dragging down major tech constituents including Meituan, Tencent, Xiaomi, JD.com, MiniMax, Baidu, and NetEase. The broad-based weakness in heavyweight internet stocks pressured the Hang Seng Tech Index significantly, pulling ETF products tracking the index lower in tandem.
