Power equipment stocks soared, with NE ELECTRIC rising 24%｜Hong Kong stocks open 1212: The Hang Seng Index opened 334 points higher this morning, with the increase peaking at 487 points, reaching 25,736 points. However, as noon approached, the gains sharply narrowed, closing up only 210 points or 0.83%, with a transaction amount of HKD 164.1 billion. In terms of the Tech Index, it nearly closed flat, down less than 1 point, reporting 4,829 points. ## Alibaba and Meituan Down Despite Market Trends Among the heavyweight blue-chip stocks, financial stocks led the rebound, with HSBC Holdings (005) and AIA (1299) rising 3.1% and 4% respectively, while Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing (388) and China Construction Bank (939) also rose 1.4% and 0.9%. In contrast, Alibaba (9988) and Meituan (3690) continued to decline against the market trend, falling 1.2% and 1.7% respectively. ## Sino Biopharmaceutical Up 6% Crowned Blue Chip with Favorable Outlook from Bank of America In terms of stock price fluctuations, Sino Biopharmaceutical (1177) rose 6% at midday, making it the best-performing blue chip; its peers, Hansoh Pharmaceutical (3692) and Innovent Biologics (1801), also rose 3.5% and 3.2% respectively. Additionally, Wharf Real Estate Investment Company (1997) rose 3.6%. On the news front, after Sino Biopharmaceutical announced an exclusive licensing agreement with Sanofi for the global (including China) development, manufacturing, and commercialization of its JAK/ROCK inhibitor, rovalpitinib, Bank of America indicated that the transaction is a testament to its internal R&D capabilities. The bank believes that with the collaboration with Sanofi and the expected approval of rovalpitinib in China in February 2026, Sino Biopharmaceutical's revenue contribution will shift from product sales to royalty income. Given that Sanofi is responsible for global development and commercialization under the agreement, assumptions regarding sales and R&D expenses are expected to be adjusted downwards, raising Sino Biopharmaceutical's target price to HKD 8.9 and reiterating a "Buy" rating. ## Power Equipment Stocks Benefit from Power Shortages in Europe and America, Domestic Models Going Global In terms of sector performance, power equipment stocks collectively rose, with Northeast Electric (042) surging 24% at midday, Shanghai Electric (2727) up 15%; Dongfang Electric (1027) and Harbin Electric (1133) also rose 14.3% and 8.9% respectively. CICC's report pointed out that aging power grid facilities in Europe and America, coupled with recent blizzard warnings, have increased the risk of power outages. On the other hand, domestic electricity price cost advantages are becoming prominent, and domestic large models are capturing global market share, which is expected to open up opportunities for domestic computing power tokens to go global, thus benefiting power equipment stocks. ————— 0930: U.S. President Trump officially nominated Waller to serve as the next Federal Reserve Chairman, succeeding current Chairman Powell; at the same time, Fed Governor Mester stated that continuing to cut interest rates is an appropriate approach, believing it is too early to take a stance on the impact of the Middle East war on the U.S. economy. ## U.S. Dollar Retreats, U.S. Stocks Rebound Across the Board The U.S. dollar index retreated, recently reporting a level of 98.69.

Currently, the market risk mainly comes from the spillover of the Middle East situation, and it is expected that the market has partially reflected the risk that the Middle East conflict is unlikely to end in the short term. As the intensity of the conflict may gradually decrease, the declines in Hong Kong, South Korean, and Japanese stocks should narrow, slowly forming a bottom. The Hang Seng Index is expected to continue consolidating around the 25,000 points at the 250-day moving average in the short term He continued to point out that the Korean and Japanese stock markets were previously at historical highs, especially with the excessive rise in Korea. Combined with the more aggressive investment style of Korean investors, the leverage ratio in the Korean stock market is relatively high. Therefore, once there is a market correction, it is easy to trigger forced liquidation and margin calls in the Korean stock market ### Related Stocks - [Hwabao WP CSI All Share Investment Banking & Brokerage ETF (512000.CN)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/512000.CN.md) - [Hwabao WP CSI Banks ETF (512800.CN)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/512800.CN.md) - [ChinaAMC CSI Banks ETF (515020.CN)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/515020.CN.md) - [China Merchants CSI BANK AH Price ETF (517900.CN)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/517900.CN.md) - [Fullgoal CSI 800 Banks ETF (159887.CN)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/159887.CN.md) - [Hang Seng Index (00HSI.HK)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/00HSI.HK.md) - [WP CSI Banks ETF (512820.CN)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/512820.CN.md) - [ChinaAMC Green Electricity ETF (562550.CN)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/562550.CN.md) - [HSBC Holdings plc ADRhedged (HSBH.US)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/HSBH.US.md) - [E Fund CSI Green Power ETF (562960.CN)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/562960.CN.md) - [DONGFANG ELEC (01072.HK)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/01072.HK.md) - [GF CSI All Share Power Public Service ETF (159611.CN)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/159611.CN.md) - [Guotai CSI All Share Investment Banking & Brokerage ETF (512880.CN)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/512880.CN.md) - [AIA (01299.HK)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/01299.HK.md) - [ChinaAMC SSE Financials Sector ETF Initiating Fund (510650.CN)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/510650.CN.md) - [China Southern CSI Banks ETF (512700.CN)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/512700.CN.md) - [Bosera CSI All Share Electric Utilities ETF (561700.CN)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/561700.CN.md) - [NE ELECTRIC (00042.HK)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/00042.HK.md) - [HSBC Holdings plc (HSBC.US)](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/HSBC.US.md) ## Related News & Research - [China five-year plan: China will 'seize the commanding heights of science and tech development'](https://longbridge.com/en/news/277878204.md) - [Canada's Capital Power reports Q4 loss versus year-ago profit](https://longbridge.com/en/news/277780475.md) - [CHINA IN NEXT FIVE YEARS WILL: TAKE STEPS TO ADDRESS LOCAL GOVT,…](https://longbridge.com/en/news/277853395.md) - [Emirates NBD provides green facility to Arabian Gulf Steel Industries](https://longbridge.com/en/news/277093739.md) - [AustralianSuper Pty Ltd Has $10.71 Million Stake in Futu Holdings Limited Sponsored ADR $FUTU](https://longbridge.com/en/news/277748752.md)
