Tencent Holdings Ltd., which has lost more than a fifth of its market value in the past few months, now appears to be losing its biggest supporter: Chinese investors.

Mainland traders have sold a net HK$11.2 billion ($1.4 billion) worth of Tencent shares so far in June, exchange data compiled by Bloomberg show. This would mark the first month of outflow for the $730 billion internet giant via the trading link with Hong Kong since May 2020.
