Shares of Bilibili Inc. (BILI) experienced a significant pre-market plummet of 10.43% on Tuesday, as investor sentiment towards Chinese stocks and ADRs trading in the U.S. turned bearish amidst concerns over China's economic outlook.
The sell-off in Bilibili and other Chinese companies was driven by uncertainty surrounding the potential impact of China's recently announced stimulus measures. While China's Politburo vowed to embrace a "moderately loose" monetary policy in 2025, signaling potential interest rate cuts and fiscal expansion, investors await further details on the concrete steps to be taken.
Analysts predict that China may raise its budget deficit to the highest level in three decades and implement significant interest rate cuts in 2023 to support economic growth. However, concerns linger over the effectiveness and timeline of these measures, prompting investors to take profits and unwind bullish bets made during the previous session's rally.
