Their holdings were still increasing a week ago, but they were losing their holdings a week later. Are major international banks also playing around with short-term operations?

According to Hong Kong Stock Exchange data, on March 15, J.P. Morgan reduced its holdings by about 1.95 million shares$BILIBILI-W (09626.HK)$Based on the average reduction in stock holdings of HK$170.5076, the holdings reduction amount was approximately HK$333 million (approximately RMB 290 million); however, a week ago, on March 6, J.P. Morgan Chase had just increased its Bilibili-W holdings by about 3.812,200 shares, and the shareholding ratio rose to 9.4%.

Since March, J.P. Morgan has increased its holdings twice and reduced its BiliBili-W holdings once. From March 3, when it first increased its holdings to March 15, when its holdings were reduced, BiliBili-W's stock price rose by about 10.25%, and J.P. Morgan took a slight sell-off.

Bilibili-W is not J.P. Morgan's first short-term ticket. Since November of last year, J.P. Morgan has begun “sweeping goods” in the Hong Kong stock market, adding Bilibili to its stock market,$PING AN (02318.HK)$,$CHINA VANKE (02202.HK)$After waiting for more than 20 stocks, short-term operations have been carried out frequently since then.

J.P. Morgan reduced its holdings by about HK$333 million

According to data from the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, on March 15, J.P. Morgan reduced its holdings of Bilibili-W by about 1.95 million shares. Based on the average reduced share price of HK$170.5076, the reduction amount was approximately HK$333 million. The shareholding ratio fell to 8.89% from the previous 9.4%.

Prior to that, J.P. Morgan Chase published a research report stating that the target price of Bilibili-W will be reduced from HK$310 to HK$210 to reflect the low target price-earnings ratio for 2025 due to the slowdown in the average daily user growth forecast after cost control measures; revenue for 2025 is expected to be low after management decides to cut some low-profit business lines; and maintains the Group's increase rating, as it is anticipated that the advertising and gaming business will have room to rise.

The bank believes that the main driver of its stock price has shifted from user growth to profitability. Its stock price fell 31% from its peak in early January, reflecting investors' concerns about its revenue and profit growth prospects this year. The bank estimates adjusted net profit of $233 million in 2024, while the market generally expects a net loss of $1.1 billion; it is expected that the Group's revenue growth for the second and third quarters will return to 13% and 11% year-on-year. This is due to further recovery in advertising demand and the launch of new games in the second quarter.

In terms of stock prices, Bilibili-W bottomed out to HK$66.1 per share on October 31 last year. Since then, it has rebounded sharply. On January 6 this year, it once hit a stage high of HK$228 per share, with a range increase of about 220%. Subsequently, Bilibili-W pulled back again. As of March 20, it closed at HK$169.3 per share. It had already fallen more than 20% from the January high, and the biggest retracement in the range reached 31%.

According to the news, in early March, Bilibili-W released its 2022 financial report. The company achieved revenue of 21.9 billion yuan in 2022, an increase of about 13% over 2021, and a net loss of 7.5 billion yuan, an increase of about 10% over 6.8 billion yuan in 2021. In addition, financial reports also show that in 2022, Station B's operating cost reached 18 billion yuan, an increase of 18% over the previous year. Station B said it was mainly due to revenue sharing and increased content costs. Among them, the revenue share was mainly incentives/sharing given to Ups owners in the live streaming and advertising business, which reached 9.1 billion yuan, also an increase of 18%.

Throw high and low suction on Bilibili many times

It should be noted that since November of last year, J.P. Morgan has operated very frequently on the Bilibili-W in the short run, throwing high and low on many occasions.

For example, on March 3, before this holdings reduction, Bilibili-W had just received an increase of 1,472,100 shares from J.P. Morgan Chase at an average price of HK$167,752 per share. The shareholding ratio rose to 8.25%. On March 6, J.P. Morgan increased its holdings by 3.812,200 shares again, and the shareholding ratio rose to 9.4%. From March 3 to March 15, Bilibili-W's stock price increased by about 10.25%.

Another example is that on November 4, 2022, J.P. Morgan bought 219,800 BiliBili-W shares at an average price of HK$84.23. After holding the position for 11 days, J.P. Morgan sold 1,347,900 Bili-W shares at HK$1,13.59. The stock price of Bili-SW rose more than 60% during this period.

On November 30, 2022, J.P. Morgan purchased Bilibili-W1,209 million H shares at an average price of HK$120.9807 per share. The shareholding ratio increased from 10.79% to 11.17%, but after that, its holdings were reduced several times. By January 20, the shareholding ratio had dropped to 7.86%. The share price of Bilibili-SW had risen by about 85% during this period.

At the time, J.P. Morgan published a report. It is expected that Bilibili-W's performance for the fourth quarter of last year was roughly in line with expectations. Revenue is expected to increase 4% year-on-year to 6 billion yuan; online gaming revenue is estimated to regress 10% to 1.2 billion yuan year-on-year, mainly due to the lack of new game launches and the decline in quarterly revenue of “Time and Space Hunter”. The bank is positive about the Group's prospects this year, and expects revenue from advertising demand to start recovering from the second quarter. On the gaming side, it is expected that “Jockey Girl” may obtain a license to import games within this year, and Motong will maintain the “increase” rating of Bilibili shares and the target price of HK$310.

Major international banks also operate frequently in the short term

A large increase in holdings in a short period of time was quickly sold. This phenomenon not only occurred when J.P. Morgan Chase operated Bilibili-W, but Bilibili-W was not J.P. Morgan's first short-term ticket.

For example, on March 13, Vanke's H shares were reduced by J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., Ltd. to 387.3344 million shares at an average price of HK$12.4789 per share, involving about HK$483 million. After the holdings were reduced, JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s latest number of open positions was about 163.11 million shares, and the holding ratio dropped from 9.14% to 7.39%.

On March 1, J.P. Morgan just increased its holdings of Vanke's H shares. At that time, its share increase in Vanke's H shares increased from 7.28% to 9.18%. After that, on March 3, J.P. Morgan increased its holdings of Vanke's H shares again, increasing its shareholding ratio from 9.69% to 11.06%.

However, this short-term operation did not bring positive returns to J.P. Morgan. From March 1 to March 13, the stock price of Vanke's H shares remained on a downward trend, with a range drop of more than 8.7%.

Another example is that on the evening of February 22, according to Hong Kong Stock Exchange data, J.P. Morgan reduced its Hong Kong stock holdings on February 16$CM BANK (03968.HK)$There are approximately 2.62 million shares, with an average price of HK$449101 per share, with a total amount of about HK$1,169 million. On the first day, J.P. Morgan just increased its China Merchants Bank holdings by more than 10 million shares.

This short-term transaction began to be revealed at the end of last year. At that time, J.P. Morgan began “sweeping goods” in the Hong Kong stock market in November last year, adding more than 20 stocks such as Bilibili and Ping An of China. Among them, between November 11 and November 14, 2022 alone, the amount of shares purchased by J.P. Morgan in the Hong Kong stock market reached about HK$1.5 billion.

Take Ping An China as an example. On November 4, 2022, J.P. Morgan increased its holdings of Ping An H shares of China by 8.312,600 shares at an average price of HK$34.35. After holding the position for only 4 days, on November 8, J.P. Morgan sold 5,871,000 shares at an average price of HK$3636; three days later, J.P. Morgan once again bought 22.418,300 shares at HK$43.18 after holding the position for only 6 days. According to rough calculations, the short-term operation of J.P. Morgan Chase's frequent purchases and sales in Ping An, China has surged over HK$300 million.
