Strategic Context
The ongoing buybacks support the company’s stated objectives of capital reduction and potential employee incentive schemes for A-shares, while H-share purchases fall under the July 2026 general mandate. Management’s execution pace—2.53 % of authorised H-shares repurchased within a month—signals an active approach to capital management ahead of the 28 October moratorium expiry.
