Group 2: Market Context - The aggressive buyback activity is largely attributed to the continuous decline in stock prices, with Xiaomi Group's stock price dropping over 30% since the end of September. Consequently, Xiaomi has conducted multiple share repurchases [2]. - On November 24, Xiaomi's founder and CEO Lei Jun personally invested over HKD 100 million to buy 2.6 million shares at an average price of approximately HKD 38.58, increasing his ownership stake to 23.26% [2]. - Analysts suggest that the current wave of buybacks is a result of both corporate value assessments and market conditions, with many Hong Kong companies being perceived as "undervalued," making buybacks a direct way to convey confidence [2].
