In the year, over 700 companies repurchased more than 66 billion yuan worth of shares, leading the value sector.

In the first half of this year, the A-share market showed a structural trend, with technology stocks performing well and sectors such as electronics and telecommunications all rising by more than 70% year-to-date. However, value sectors dominated by consumer and financial stocks performed weaker, with sectors such as food and beverage, non-bank financials, and banks all dropping by more than 10% year-to-date. In this market environment, a large number of undervalued value stocks have initiated a buyback trend. Data shows that the total value of buybacks implemented this year has exceeded 66 billion yuan, with another batch of buybacks in the pipeline with a planned total amount of over 88 billion yuan.
