政策推动港深“双重上市”：哪些港股大湾区企业将会率先“回A”？

Core Viewpoint - The Chinese government has introduced policies to facilitate the listing of Hong Kong-listed companies from the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, aiming to enhance the competitiveness of the Shenzhen market and attract international capital [1][2]. Group 1: Policy Overview - The State Council's recent opinion allows eligible Hong Kong-listed companies to issue depositary receipts on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange [1]. - The policy aims to strengthen the core position of the Shenzhen Stock Exchange in the capital market and promote cross-border financial flows [1][2]. Group 2: Potential Companies for "Return to A-Shares" - Approximately 200 companies from Guangdong are currently listed in Hong Kong but not in A-shares, with many using the red-chip model [2]. - Notable companies that could consider returning to A-shares include Tencent Holdings, Tencent Music, and Xiaopeng Motors, among others [2][3]. - Companies like Sunshine Insurance and Yubis have registered in mainland China and are also potential candidates for A-share listings [3][4]. Group 3: Types of Companies Likely to "Return to A-Shares" - High-tech companies with undervalued stock in Hong Kong may seek to return to A-shares for better valuations and funding opportunities [4][5]. - Mature tech platform companies that are still in a "burning cash" phase may also consider returning to A-shares for additional financial support [5]. - Core technology companies in policy-sensitive industries may benefit from the dual support of national policies and market funding by returning to A-shares [5]. Group 4: Challenges in Policy Implementation - The transition from Hong Kong to A-shares may face challenges due to differences in listing rules, financial auditing standards, and information disclosure requirements [7][8]. - Companies using red-chip or VIE structures may encounter high costs and lengthy processes to adjust their structures for A-share listings [7][8]. - The need for high-quality Chinese information disclosure and technical verification may pose additional hurdles for tech companies [8]. Group 5: Recommendations for the ChiNext Board - Suggestions include simplifying the review process for returning companies and establishing a green channel for eligible firms to expedite the listing process [9][10]. - The introduction of a dedicated channel for tech companies on the ChiNext Board could focus on core technology and business models rather than short-term profitability [10]. - Encouraging the use of depositary receipts for tech companies could lower the costs associated with structural adjustments [10].
