浦银国际：港股流动性问题显著改善 盈利将取代估值成为市场走势的关键驱动力

Core Viewpoint - The valuation of Hong Kong stocks has significantly recovered, and further expansion may be limited, with future growth relying more on corporate earnings rather than valuation [1][3]. Group 1: Market Liquidity - Continuous improvement in liquidity has provided strong support for the upward movement of the Hong Kong stock market this year [2]. - The improvement in liquidity is attributed to factors such as liquidity injections by the Monetary Authority, sustained net inflows from southbound funds and foreign capital, a booming IPO market, and accelerated share buybacks by Hong Kong companies [2]. - Despite a recent decrease in the banking system's surplus, the overall liquidity environment remains loose, with the one-month HIBOR around 1% [2]. Group 2: Earnings Growth - Future upward movement in the market will depend more on corporate earnings growth, as the expected profit growth rate for the Hang Seng Index is relatively low for the next two years [3]. - The impact of tariff policies will gradually reflect in the fundamentals, and the strong resilience of the domestic economy in the first half of the year may weaken short-term policy expectations [3]. - Identifying sectors and stocks that are less affected by tariffs and have strong profit growth potential through AI development is crucial for better returns [3]. Group 3: Structural Market Trends - The market is expected to exhibit a structural trend, with accelerated sector rotation before new trend investment themes emerge [4]. - As the half-year earnings reporting period approaches, market participants have high expectations for corporate performance, which may lead to a rotation of funds from crowded sectors like new consumption, innovative pharmaceuticals, and banking to lower-crowded sectors with better earnings prospects, such as technology [4]. - If market sentiment remains high and liquidity is ample, even if crowded sectors experience a pullback, it will not hinder the medium-term positive outlook for the Hong Kong stock market [4].
