On October 2, HAIDILAO fell 3.06% in regular trading to HK$9.06, with turnover of approximately HK$20.71 million, as the stock continued its downward trajectory under multiple overhanging negatives.

The decline extends the fallout from a significant shareholder reduction in early September, when controlling shareholder family member SP NP Ltd. sold 259 million shares at HK$10.62 per share via block trade, raising approximately HK$2.75 billion. The disposal reduced the controlling shareholder group's stake from roughly 50.2% to 45.5%. The sale price represented a discount of approximately 6.7% to the prior closing price, and notably came just four months after founder Zhang Yong had increased his personal stake at HK$13.39 per share.

Adding to the pressure, Citi reported that the company's August table turnover rate declined by low single digits year-over-year, falling short of management's earlier guidance of low single-digit growth. Daiwa subsequently cut its target price from HK$13.2 to HK$11.3, citing unimproved demand and disposal-related losses. Within the Restaurants sector, broad weakness persisted, with MEITUAN-W down 2.23%, YUM CHINA down 2.04%, GUMING down 1.84%, XIAOCAIYUAN down 1.28%, and MIXUE GROUP down 2.42%.
