On September 16, GWMOTOR fell 3.02% in regular trading, trading at HK$7.38/share, with turnover of approximately HK$18.38 million. The decline came amid continued weakness across the Hong Kong-listed automobile sector, compounded by deteriorating industry fundamentals and the company's own earnings pressure.

On the industry front, August new energy passenger vehicle retail sales totaled 1.005 million units, down 10.1% year-over-year, with cumulative January-to-August sales declining 12.1%. Industry-wide profit margins remain under significant stress, with the auto sector recording a margin of just 3.4% through May, while vehicle manufacturing margins fell to a razor-thin 1.5%. GWMOTOR itself reported first-half attributable net profit of RMB 2.465 billion, representing a steep 61.11% year-over-year decline, underscoring near-term fundamental headwinds.

Broader sector sentiment was further weighed down by recent policy developments including new supplier payment term regulations and competitive pricing actions from Tesla China. Within the Automobile Manufacturers sector, BYD COMPANY fell 0.63%, GEELY AUTO fell 1.43%, XPENG-W fell 1.34%, and LEAPMOTOR fell 2.01%, while LI AUTO-W rose 1.39%.
