Xiaomi Renews Buyback Mandate and Opens AirDrop Bridge, but Stock Remains Under Pressure Near 52-Week Low
Veröffentlicht: 03.06.2026 um 11:11 Uhr, Redaktion boerse-global.de
Xiaomi’s annual general meeting on June 3 greenlit a fresh extension of the company’s share repurchase mandate, handing management another tool to counter persistent weakness in the stock. The decision comes as the shares trade at just 3.14 euros, barely above the 52-week trough of 3.08 euros and more than halved from the year’s peak of 6.69 euros. Since January, the equity has shed roughly 30% of its value.
The renewed buyback authorization allows Xiaomi to continue buying its own shares on the open market, a classic move to support earnings per share and signal confidence to investors. Yet the market has so far shown little enthusiasm. Technical indicators paint a mixed picture: the relative strength index of 76.8 hints at short-term overbought conditions, even as the stock languishes nearly 28% below its 200-day moving average and about 8% under its 50-day average.
In a parallel move to shore up its ecosystem, Xiaomi switched on Apple’s AirDrop protocol for its devices on June 1. The integration, built on Google’s underlying technology, lets users shuttle files between Xiaomi phones and Apple hardware via the “Quick Share” feature. The 17T Pro is the first model to get the capability, with a broader rollout planned. The goal is to lower barriers for consumers who toggle between Android and iOS — a critical consideration in the premium segment where ecosystem lock-in often drives purchasing decisions.
Should investors sell immediately? Or is it worth buying Xiaomi?
The hardware push extends beyond phones. Global sales of the Redmi Watch 6 have now started, featuring a 2.07-inch AMOLED display that hits 2,000 nits peak brightness and a battery life of up to 24 days. It packs over 150 sports modes, GNSS location tracking, and SpO2 monitoring. Xiaomi is also rolling out a modular flashlight rated at 2,500 lumens and the Bluetooth Remote 2 Pro with NFC screen-mirroring, further fleshing out its accessory lineup.
Meanwhile, the electric-vehicle business continues to gain traction. The company delivered over 30,000 EVs in China in May, even as the broader smartphone market struggles with chip shortages and shrinking volumes. To offset plateauing demand in mature markets, Xiaomi plans to unveil the Redmi Turbo 5 in India by mid-June, leaning on geographic expansion to sustain growth.
Broader sentiment across Hong Kong-listed tech names improved on Tuesday, with the Hang Seng Index climbing 2.5%. Tencent rode AI-related optimism, and Alibaba briefly surged 6%. Valuations remain attractive, and consumer spending expectations are brightening. But for Xiaomi, the near-term catalyst rests on whether its ecosystem push and EV momentum can translate into tangible profit contributions when the next quarterly numbers are released.
