Group 1 - The Hong Kong IPO market experienced a collective downturn on December 22, 2025, with four newly listed stocks, including Impression Da Hong Pao (HK02695), Huaren Biotech-B (HK02396), Ming Kee Hospital (HK02581), and Nanhua Futures (HK02691), all facing significant declines, with Ming Kee Hospital dropping 49.46%, marking the worst debut performance of the year [1] - All four new stocks opened lower and continued to decline throughout the trading day, closing near their lowest prices. Ming Kee Hospital, which had an offering price of 9.34 HKD, closed at 4.73 HKD, resulting in a loss of 1,420 HKD per lot of 500 shares, surpassing the previous record decline of 47.67% set by Conch Cement Technology [1] - Impression Da Hong Pao, despite receiving a 3,400 times oversubscription and a pre-listing increase of 11% on the Futu platform, ultimately closed down 35.28% at 2.33 HKD, leading to a loss of 1,270 HKD per lot of 1,000 shares [1] Group 2 - Following the reform of the Hong Kong IPO pricing mechanism in August 2025, the new stock failure rate was only 7.14% from August to October, but it surged to 42.10% from November onwards, significantly exceeding the 30.23% rate observed in the first half of the year [2] - The core reason for this discrepancy is the misalignment between primary market pricing and secondary market risk appetite, with issuers often referencing A-share valuations while Hong Kong investors prioritize cash flow and dividend returns, compounded by increased pressure from southbound capital and smaller float sizes, leading to concentrated sell-offs post-listing [2] - The Hong Kong IPO market has reached a scale of 267.1 billion HKD this year, with potential to reclaim the top position globally for IPOs. However, ongoing fluctuations in Federal Reserve policy expectations and changes in cross-border capital flows indicate that the valuation restructuring in the Hong Kong new stock market is still ongoing, resulting in a more cautious sentiment among investors regarding new listings [2]
