Aceso Life Science Group Limited ( (HK:0474) ) has shared an announcement.

Aceso Life Science Group Limited has disclosed, at the request of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and following an enquiry by the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC), that as of 31 December 2025 its shareholding was highly concentrated in the hands of a few investors. Three substantial shareholders held 71.94% of issued shares, while 20 other shareholders and their related parties held a further 18.79%, leaving only 9.27% of shares in the hands of other investors, a structure that significantly limits the effective free float. The SFC highlighted that over the period from 10 September to 31 December 2025, Aceso’s share price surged 489%, and by 12 January 2026 was up 521% from its September level, raising concerns that such sharp moves, combined with the tight float, could lead to substantial price volatility. The company has cautioned existing shareholders and prospective investors that even small trades could trigger large price swings, underscoring elevated trading and liquidity risk and the need for extreme caution when dealing in its shares.

The most recent analyst rating on (HK:0474) stock is a Sell with a HK$0.12 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Aceso Life Science Group Limited stock, see the HK:0474 Stock Forecast page.
