Sou Hu Cai Jing·2025-12-17 00:23Group 1 - The Hong Kong IPO market has significantly recovered this year, with approximately 99 companies raising over 250 billion HKD, making it the primary channel for Chinese companies' IPOs, accounting for 67% of total fundraising, the highest in nearly a decade [6][9]. - The average first-day loss rate for new stocks has increased since Q4, and historical data shows that the main profits from IPOs in Hong Kong often come from a small number of high-quality stocks with high odds [14][26]. - The estimated IPO fundraising scale for 2026 is around 330 billion HKD, reflecting a 20% increase compared to this year, driven by a rich pipeline of 314 companies currently in the listing process [13][9]. Group 2 - The relationship between primary market financing and secondary market performance is weakly positively correlated, suggesting that active IPO financing does not negatively impact the secondary market [2][31]. - Historical data from 2016 shows that large IPOs do not have a significant overall impact on the secondary market, but certain sectors like consumer discretionary and technology may experience positive effects [49][52]. - The performance of new stocks from listing to inclusion in the Stock Connect is generally a good window for profit, with median absolute and excess returns being positive during this period [55][48]. Group 3 - A quantitative model for selecting IPO projects is crucial due to the significant performance differentiation of new stocks in the Hong Kong market, which has a relatively loose listing mechanism and a highly market-driven pricing mechanism [64][65]. - The model incorporates five indicators, including market sentiment, company fundamentals, and issuance characteristics, to improve the selection of IPO projects and potentially increase returns by approximately 15% for those scoring above the median [64][88]. - The average first-day return for IPOs has shown a significant increase this year, with a notable rise in the number of projects achieving returns above 40% [68][66].
