Some analysts believe that the high concentration of share capital and the scarcity of liquid stocks are the reasons for the soaring share prices of some Chinese concept stocks. For example, AMTD Digital has a total share capital of approximately 187 million shares, while only 18.4 million shares are outstanding; similarly, the total share capital of Zhizhi Education is approximately 60.56 million shares, while the outstanding shares are only 5 million.
