Core Viewpoint - The resurgence of high stock transfers in the A-share market is led by BYD, which has implemented an aggressive stock transfer plan, marking a significant shift in market sentiment towards such practices [2][7][20]. Group 1: BYD's High Stock Transfer Announcement - On April 22, BYD announced a revised profit distribution plan for 2024, increasing the stock transfer ratio to 20 shares for every 10 shares held, expanding its total share capital by 200% from 3.039 billion shares to 9.117 billion shares [3][4]. - Following the announcement, BYD's A-shares rose by 4.83% to 371.99 RMB, while H-shares increased by 4.79% to 393.8 HKD [3]. - This move is considered the most aggressive stock transfer in the A-share market since 2017, especially when compared to other high-priced stocks like Kweichow Moutai [6][12]. Group 2: Market Reactions and Implications - Some market participants believe that BYD's leadership in high stock transfers may indicate a changing attitude in the capital market towards such policies, potentially leading to more companies adopting similar strategies [7][23]. - The stock transfer is seen as a method to enhance liquidity for high-priced stocks, a common practice in capital markets [9][11]. - If successfully implemented, BYD's stock price would adjust to approximately 116.95 RMB for A-shares and around 120 HKD for H-shares, significantly lowering the entry barrier for investors [12]. Group 3: Regulatory Context and Historical Perspective - The A-share market has been cautious about high stock transfers since 2016 due to regulatory scrutiny following instances of market manipulation [5][22]. - The recent high stock transfer by BYD may signal a potential easing of regulatory restrictions, as it is the first significant instance in seven years [23][26]. - Current regulations require companies to meet specific criteria, including sustained profit growth and reasonable stock transfer ratios, to implement high stock transfers [24][25]. Group 4: Financial Metrics and Comparisons - BYD's earnings per share (EPS) for 2024 is projected at 13.84 RMB, which is relatively high compared to other companies with similar or higher stock prices [18]. - However, if the high stock transfer is executed, BYD's EPS would drop to 4.42 RMB, potentially disqualifying it from the list of companies with double-digit EPS [19]. - Despite being the highest in total share capital among the top fifteen high-priced stocks, BYD's market position raises questions about the necessity of such an aggressive stock transfer strategy [15][17].
