JPMorgan said earlier that cornerstone investors in CATL's H-shares can start selling their holdings from November 20, which may release nearly 50% of the company's outstanding H-shares and in turn erase the premium that H-shares have been trading at relative to A-shares.

Since its listing six months ago, CATL's H-shares have soared by about 110%, while its A-shares have gained less than 60% over the same period. JPMorgan suggested that investors already holding CATL H-shares should consider shifting their positions to the corresponding A-shares.
