Group 1 - The core viewpoint of the report is that the Hong Kong IPO market is expected to maintain strong momentum in 2026, with fundraising potentially exceeding HKD 300 billion, driven by a significant number of companies in the technology and healthcare sectors waiting to go public [6][17][18]. - In 2025, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange saw 117 IPOs raising a total of HKD 285.9 billion, marking a return to the top of the global IPO rankings after four years [6][17]. - As of January 10, 2026, there are still 300 companies queued for IPOs, with a concentration in software services, biomedicine, and hardware sectors, benefiting from the HKEX's Chapter 18A and 18C listing policies [6][18]. Group 2 - The impact of IPO peaks and lock-up expirations on the Hong Kong stock market is complex; historical data shows that these events do not necessarily lead to market downturns, as seen in previous years where fundraising peaks coincided with bull markets [6][22]. - The upcoming lock-up expirations in March and September 2026 are expected to involve significant amounts, with September's expirations potentially reaching HKD 400 billion [7][36]. - The report highlights that the true impact of IPOs may be felt six months post-listing during the lock-up expiration of cornerstone investors, which historically has coincided with market downturns [7][35]. Group 3 - The report discusses the performance of stocks included in the Hong Kong Stock Connect and the Hang Seng Tech Index, noting that short-term price increases post-inclusion are not guaranteed for all companies [10][49]. - The Hang Seng Tech Index focuses on 30 representative technology companies, with a structured review and rapid inclusion mechanism, where stock prices typically react 30 days prior to index adjustments [10][52]. - Recent trends show a shift in capital flows, with northbound trading volumes decreasing and southbound trading seeing net inflows, particularly into companies like Xiaomi and Kuaishou [60][65].
