中金：港股近期跑输A股 结构缺亮点及资金面暂处弱势

Group 1 - The core viewpoint of the report is that while A-shares have experienced a strong start to 2026 with a "16 consecutive days of gains," Hong Kong stocks have been notably absent from this rally, primarily due to a lack of attractive sectors and a weak liquidity environment [1][2] - The driving force behind the A-share market's performance is the "excess liquidity" chasing "scarce return assets," with small-cap stocks outperforming larger ones, and valuation expansion being the main contributor to the gains [2][3] - The report identifies four key sectors in Hong Kong stocks—dividends, internet, innovative pharmaceuticals, and new consumption—that are unique and irreplaceable compared to A-shares, despite their current lack of market attention [1][6] Group 2 - The underperformance of Hong Kong stocks is attributed to three main factors: the lack of market focus on its unique structural advantages, a weak liquidity environment, and a reflection of a weakening fundamental backdrop [3][4] - The report highlights that the liquidity environment for Hong Kong stocks faces multiple constraints, including uncertainty regarding the strength of southbound capital flows and an increasing demand for IPO financing, which could exceed HKD 400 billion in 2026 [4][5] - Despite the overall market outlook favoring A-shares, Hong Kong stocks still present unique structural opportunities that could attract long-term investment, particularly in sectors like innovative pharmaceuticals and high-dividend stocks [6]
