6682.HK

AI technology and services provider Beijing Fourth Paradigm Technology Co. Ltd. (6682.HK) announced it received stock exchange approval on Sept. 5 to convert nearly 132 million of its domestic shares into publicly traded H-shares. It added the conversion involved company stock held by 36 shareholders.

The conversion boosted Fourth Paradigm’s tradable H-shares to about 270 million, nearly doubling its float. Fourth Paradigm’s stock has fallen sharply recently, and is now down 68% from this year’s peak of HK$115. The addition of more shares to its float could put further pressure on its stock.
