TREE NEWS reports: A total of 43 convertible bonds in China’s A-share market have completed maturity redemption so far this year, a record for the period, Wind data shows. The figure compares with just 17 before 2016 and has climbed steadily since, reaching 35 in 2024 and 39 in 2025, as issuers increasingly forgo forced conversion amid high proportions of unconverted bonds. Large issues including Huahai, Luxshare and Jidong convertibles face maturity windows in early November.
China’s Convertible Bond Redemptions Hit Record 43 This Year
The steady climb in maturity redemptions points to a structural shift: issuers are increasingly unable or unwilling to engineer forced conversion, leaving more paper to be repaid in cash rather than converted to equity. That matters for balance-sheet liquidity at the issuers and for convertible-fund holders who had priced in equity optionality. The early-November windows for Huahai, Luxshare and Jidong are the near-term test of whether this redemption wave keeps accelerating.
