Goldman Sachs said US retail investors are more likely than institutions to sell Chinese American depositary receipts (ADRs) if the US pushes for financial decoupling, The South China Morning Post reported April 17.
With $370 billion in retail-held ADRs, companies with high retail exposure like the 40% retail-owned Alibaba face higher delisting risk, according to the report.
In a separate report, Goldman Sachs said a full decoupling could trigger a $2.5 trillion market sell-off.
Institutional liquidation of ADRs could take 97 days, with some retail holders likely struggling to convert to Hong Kong-listed shares, Goldman Sachs said. Overall, 286 US-listed Chinese firms with $1.1 trillion in market value are at risk.
