Chinese ADRs Monthly Update – June 2008
Comparing to what happened to Chinese stocks listed on U. S. stock exchanges, the drop in major U. S. equity indexes is minor, though the Dow Jones Industrial Average did lose more than 10% in just one month (10.19%). During the same time period, the NASDAQ dropped 9.12% and the S&P declined 8.57% as jitters in the financial sector continued and there was no sign that the housing market has bottomed. In fact, the loss in June was the severest monthly loss since the Great Depression.
However, if you are investing heavily in Chinese ADRs (like me), then I am sure you feel even more depressed when looking at your stocks’ performances last month. Of the 82 Chinese ADRs I track regularly, only 6 of them ended the month in the positive territory. All other 76 stocks dropped, and they dropped like a rock: 30 stocks lost more than 20% and 10 more than 30% 
The worst performer of the month is Tongjitang Chinese Medicine (TCM), losing more than half of its value, followed by Spreadtrum Communications (SPRD) 46.91% and China Southern Airlines (ZNH) 38.31%. The biggest gainer is China Medical Tech (CMED), rising 25.29% in one month. For the month, the Shanghai Composite Index (^SSEC) fell 22.75% and the Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index (^HSI) lost 9.9%.
