Contemporary Amperex Technology (SZSE:300750) has called a board meeting on 30 September 2026 to propose a Second A Share Employee Stock Ownership Plan, with any rollout still needing shareholder approval at a future general meeting.
That board meeting lands at a tricky moment for Contemporary Amperex Technology, with the share price at about CN¥291.11 and a 30 day share price return down 16.4%, while the year to date share price return has fallen 22.9% and the 1 year total shareholder return has declined 26.2%. However, the 3 year total shareholder return is still up 60.6%, which suggests long term holders have seen meaningful gains even as recent momentum has cooled, despite events like the new NING SERVICE centre opening in Norway.
