Bethel's buybacks, bonus shares, and record first-half profit lift the stock

  • Shareholder overhang removed Chery Technology ended its plan to sell up to 3% of Bethel without selling a single share. That removes a big potential seller, so less supply hangs over the stock and investors can focus on the business.

    Removes a known negative overhang, directly supporting the share price.

  • Company buyback and bank funding Bethel will buy back 100–200 million yuan of its own stock for employee incentives, backed by a bank loan covering up to 90% of the cost. Buybacks shrink the shares outstanding and signal management thinks the stock is cheap.

    A concrete capital return that supports the stock and shows confidence.

  • Record first-half profit and tech first First-half net profit rose 22.8% to 641 million yuan, with second-quarter profit up 48%. Bethel became the world's first to mass-produce fully dry electronic mechanical brakes, a technology edge that can win more business.

    Strong earnings and a world-first technology breakthrough are core reasons the stock is moving.

  • Bonus shares and buyback progress Bethel will give 4.2 bonus shares for every 10 held, making the stock more affordable for small investors. It has already bought back 3.71 million shares for 100 million yuan, showing the plan is being carried out.

    Bonus shares and actual buyback execution are fresh capital events that keep supporting the price.
