Kweichow Moutai Announces $421 Million Share Buyback Amid Stock Dip
SHANGHAI, November 6, 2025 - Chinese liquor giant Kweichow Moutai unveiled plans Wednesday to repurchase up to 3 billion yuan ($421 million) of its shares, a strategic maneuver intended to bolster its stock price which has recently experienced declines. Teh declaration, made after market close, signals a renewed commitment to shareholder value and comes as the company navigates evolving market conditions.
this latest buyback initiative represents half the total volume of share repurchases Kweichow Moutai executed through September. The move is notably notable for investors tracking the performance of china’s most valuable company, and also for the broader luxury spirits market. A successful buyback could provide a lift to the stock, potentially attracting further investment and reinforcing confidence in the company’s long-term prospects.
Kweichow Moutai’s shares responded positively to the news, climbing as much as 1.5% in morning trading-marking the strongest daily gain in over two weeks, according to Bloomberg data. The company’s decision to reinvest in its own stock underscores its belief in its intrinsic value and its dedication to returning capital to shareholders.
the buyback program is expected to unfold over a defined period, with details regarding the execution timeline and specific purchase prices to be disclosed in subsequent announcements. Analysts will be closely monitoring the program’s impact on earnings per share and overall market sentiment towards Kweichow Moutai.
