(Bloomberg) -- Scores of Hong Kong-listed companies suspended trading in their shares on Thursday, with some traders attributing the move to the firms’ failure to report their earnings in time.

The mass suspensions come as March 31 was the last day to report annual results for Hong Kong-listed companies. China Huarong Asset Management Co. was among the more than 50 firms that announced a trading halt. At least 9 Hong Kong companies suspended trading on April 1 of last year, versus about 25 on the same day in 2019.

Yuzhou Group Holdings Co., a Chinese real estate firm, said on Tuesday that its auditor Ernst & Young’s “strict” accounting standards were partly behind a collapse in the company’s profit last year. The stock slumped 7.9%.
