Xiaomi Trims Share Count With Second Straight Buyback as CLSA Cuts Profit Outlook

Xiaomi returned to the buyback window for a second consecutive trading day, repurchasing roughly 1.73 million Class B shares for a total of about HK$49.83 million. The stock is earmarked for cancellation. The move followed Thursday’s repurchase of 1.67 million Class B shares, which cost the company HK$49.91 million — a disclosure that also documented the issuance of new shares under an equity plan.

The buybacks came as the stock slipped 2.2% in Hong Kong, closing at €3.34, caught in a broad selloff across the city’s technology names. RTHK linked the market-wide weakness to the Nvidia turmoil and concerns about possible restrictions on access to advanced AI chips. That diagnosis applied to the sector as a whole rather than to Xiaomi specifically, with large technology and internet stocks — Xiaomi among them — retreating together.

CLSA Trims Forecasts but Keeps Its Rating

Separately, CLSA cut its forecast for Xiaomi’s adjusted net profit in 2026 by 13%, and lowered its estimate for the following year by 17%. The brokerage pointed to weaker-than-expected consumer spending in China as the driver. It left its rating at “Outperform” and its price target unchanged at HK$35, meaning the reduced earnings expectations came with an intact valuation call.
