In Lei Jun's Weibo comment area, some users bluntly said that "Xiaomi's stock is broken, save Xiaomi."
In last year's speech, Lei Jun admitted, "Xiaomi (01810. HK) stock price doubled, those stock speculation software can be removed, no longer have to care about the stock price. "But now, these snow-hidden apps may be back again."
On January 27, Xiaomi opened low and walked low, falling 5.5% by the close to 16.48 Hong Kong dollars per share, once again falling below the issue price of 17 Hong Kong dollars per share.
Yin persimmon financial reporter noted that since its listing in Hong Kong stocks in 2018, Xiaomi's stock price can be said to have experienced great ups and downs.

First, after the break on the first day of listing, Xiaomi's stock price fell all the way, reaching a historical low of 8.29 Hong Kong dollars per share on September 2, 2019, and "slashing" for the first time. Then the rebound began, and in early 2021, Xiaomi's stock price doubled, hitting a new high of HK$35.9 per share, but since then it has embarked on a downward slope, and Xiaomi's stock price fell by 45.42%, once again "waist cut".
The sharp decline in stocks seems to have also made some shareholders who hold Xiaomi stocks unable to sit still.
Under the Weibo released by Lei Jun today, many users discussed the sharp decline in Xiaomi stocks today. Some users bluntly said that "Xiaomi's stock is broken, save Xiaomi", "Lei Zong, let the minority shareholders starve and die (hungry and dead), mourning everywhere, regardless of", but some users pointed out, "Is it not normal for the stock market to rise and fall? This move is risky, and it is prudent to enter the market. ”
It is worth mentioning that at the same time that Xiaomi's stock price is being hotly discussed, its competitor Apple has also been on weibo hot search.
According to statistics released yesterday by consulting firm Counterpoint Research, Apple topped the Chinese mobile phone market for the first time in six years.

In the fourth quarter of 2021, Apple's market share was 23%, ranking first, an increase of 79% month-on-month; vivo and OPPO ranked second and third, respectively, with a decrease year-on-year; Xiaomi ranked fifth, with a market share of 13%, down 8% month-on-month; Huawei ranked sixth, with a market share of 7% in 2021 from 23% in the fourth quarter of 2020.
Zhang Mengmeng, an analyst at Counterpoint Research, believes that Apple's outstanding performance is based on Apple's pricing strategy and Huawei's absence, and apple has maintained a leading position in the Chinese market since the release of the iPhone 13 in September 2021.
As far as Xiaomi is concerned, the company's previous financial report shows that the operating income of Xiaomi smartphones in the third quarter of 2021 was 47.825 billion yuan, a decrease of 19.1% month-on-month, and mobile phone shipments were 43.9 million units, compared with Xiaomi's shipments in the second quarter of 52.9 million units, a decrease of nine million units, which Xiaomi explained that it was mainly due to the shortage of global core components (including SoC).
But later at the press conference, Xiaomi President Wang Xiang said that Xiaomi's market share in the third quarter has declined, which is indeed related to the strong performance of the iPhone 13.
"China's smartphone market as a whole is on a downward trend due to various factors on both the supply side and the demand side," counterpoint Research analyst Ivan Lam pointed out, "First, the continued shortage of parts is affecting shipments from all OEMs." Second, the average replacement cycle of smartphones in China is getting longer, and the design of smartphones within brands has become more homogeneous, especially in terms of hardware, which has failed to motivate consumers to upgrade.
