Laopu Gold shares closed down 7.48% at HK$311.80 in Hong Kong after the premium jeweller broke its long-standing no-discount discipline with its first public price cuts during the National Day holiday. Citi cut its target price from HK$507 to HK$400 and lowered its 2027 profit forecast by 22%, while Haitong International trimmed its target to HK$435, with both banks pointing to volatile gold prices cooling consumer demand after the metal's retreat from its early-year peak.
