Hygon Information plans 500M-800M yuan share buyback

The signal here is capital allocation toward talent rather than a pure share-price support move: shares are earmarked for an employee ownership plan or incentives, tying retention to equity in a sector where engineering talent is the scarce asset.

What's worth watching is the pace of actual execution under centralized bidding and the cap that sets the effective ceiling on buying, since authorization size and realized purchases often diverge.
