HONG KONG—Shares of Evergrande on Monday plunged as much as 19 percent to their lowest in over 11 years, extending losses as investors take a dim view of its business prospects with a fast-approaching deadline for payment obligations this week.

By noon, the stock had touched HK$2.06, the weakest level since May 2010.
