Shanghai, Jan 18, 2026, 06:01 CST — The market has closed.
- Shares closed Friday up 4.2% at 63.00 yuan, on a turnover near 16.4 billion yuan
- The stock went ex-dividend, reflecting a 0.33 yuan per share interim cash payout
- Traders are eyeing January 19, when tighter margin-financing rules kick in, and marking March 11 for the next earnings report.
Foxconn Industrial Internet Co., Ltd. Class A shares (601138) climbed 4.2% on Friday, closing at 63.00 yuan on a turnover of 16.42 billion yuan. The stock attracted net inflows of 13.18 billion yuan from “super-large” orders, ranking just behind Changdian Technology and GigaDevice as top inflow recipients, according to market data reported by local media.

The stock went ex-dividend ahead of an interim 2025 cash payout at 0.33 yuan per share, equivalent to 3.3 yuan for every 10 shares, according to a filing. The company plans to hand out roughly 6.55 billion yuan in total, setting the record date for Jan. 15 and the payment date for Jan. 16.
Friday’s rally comes just before a wider crackdown on leverage in mainland stocks. China’s securities regulator announced plans to intensify market supervision and target excessive speculation. Starting Jan. 19, exchanges will hike the minimum margin requirement for new loans from 80% to 100%, Reuters reported. (Reuters)
Morgan Stanley analysts Laura Wang and Chloe Liu noted that liquidity support for Chinese stocks might persist into the first quarter. They expect the tighter margin rules to temper enthusiasm but not to “materially affect existing positions.” They warned of potential short-term volatility in tech and innovation sectors, where margin financing has been most active.

“Regulators sent a crystal-clear signal: steer the market toward a steady, slow bull run,” Wang Jun, strategist at BOC International in Shanghai, told the South China Morning Post. He added that attention needs to return to fundamentals as investors reduce leverage. (South China Morning Post)
The broader market slipped on Friday. The Shanghai Composite dropped 0.26% to 4,101.91, according to Xinhua, while turnover across Shanghai and Shenzhen reached 3.03 trillion yuan. Gains were led by semiconductor, storage chip, and humanoid robot stocks, the report noted. (Xinhua)
Foxconn Industrial Internet carried the “XD” label, signaling its shares are now ex-dividend. This means anyone buying in after the date won’t receive the upcoming payout. On that day, the reference price is lowered to factor in the dividend cash. (BOCHK)
Based in Shenzhen, the company develops and manufactures electronic devices covering communications, mobile networks, cloud computing, industrial internet, and robotics, Reuters data shows. Its lineup features network equipment, telecom hardware, servers, storage units, and industrial robots. (Reuters)
Yet, the next move isn’t set in stone. Steeper margin requirements could sap momentum from packed electronics trades, while ex-dividend tweaks might cause bigger swings in headline returns once flows unwind.
The company is set to report earnings on March 11, according to TradingView data. Ahead of that, Monday’s open on Jan. 19 will reveal if the post-dividend rebound sticks, as tighter margin rules come into play. (Tradingview)
