Zheshang International believes that during market adjustments, large-scale buyback waves usually indicate that listed companies believe their current stock prices are far below their intrinsic values, sending a positive signal to investors that the current stock price is severely undervalued, thereby stabilizing investor confidence and company stock prices. The buyback data in the market has certain guiding significance for future market trends. The Hong Kong stock market has experienced five rounds of company buyback waves since 2008, all occurring during bear markets, followed by a wave of upward trends. **Divergence in institutional views** CICC stated that in the short term, the price-to-earnings ratio of Hong Kong technology stocks has reached one standard deviation below the mean, and the RSI indicator shows it may be in an oversold position, making it somewhat attractive. For some investors, the current valuation of Hong Kong technology stocks and market sentiment have provided opportunities for gradual left-side dollar-cost averaging. Looking ahead, the opportunity for Hong Kong stocks to outperform other markets comes from three conditions: rising expectations of Federal Reserve easing, the return of Hong Kong stock characteristics to market hotspots, and inflows of southbound funds. CITIC Securities believes that geopolitical conflicts have triggered short-term adjustments in global financial markets, and the current emotional sell-off has been relatively sufficient. If the situation does not escalate further, the market will quickly return to the medium- to long-term trends dominated by domestic economy, policy, and liquidity. Future focus should be on a dual mainline layout of prosperity and certainty, with the prosperity mainline benefiting from accelerated AI computing power capital expenditure, and the certainty mainline core being HALO trading. Guoyuan International pointed out that due to Iran's strong resistance and the resilience of its regime exceeding expectations, the conflict may be difficult to end in the short term. Therefore, the Hong Kong stock market may still face disturbances from external uncertainties this week. For the market, if the conflict becomes prolonged, energy prices may remain high for a longer time, which means that overseas markets may enter a stagflation trading phase, shifting from short-term sentiment trading to more long-term fundamental trading, in which case the adjustment period for Hong Kong stocks will also be extended ### Related Stocks - [600489.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/600489.CN.md) - [00293.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/00293.HK.md) - [02259.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/02259.HK.md) - [00HSI.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/00HSI.HK.md) - [02899.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/02899.HK.md) - [600547.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/600547.CN.md) - [159740.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/159740.CN.md) - [513770.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/513770.CN.md) - [07500.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/07500.HK.md) - [159920.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/159920.CN.md) - [02840.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/02840.HK.md) - [513180.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/513180.CN.md) - [518850.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/518850.CN.md) - [513040.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/513040.CN.md) - [513130.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/513130.CN.md) - [520920.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/520920.CN.md) - [82824.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/82824.HK.md) - [159562.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/159562.CN.md) - [07522.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/07522.HK.md) - [159742.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/159742.CN.md) - [513600.CN](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/513600.CN.md) - [07200.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/07200.HK.md) - [03690.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/03690.HK.md) ## Related News & Research - [Best Rated Gold IRA Companies USA Rankings Announced for 2026 - Top Gold IRA Companies Compared](https://longbridge.com/en/news/282734877.md) - [Victory Giant's $2.2 billion Hong Kong listing seen pricing at top on demand, sources say](https://longbridge.com/en/news/282808844.md) - [African Gold Sets Court Date for Montage Acquisition Schemes](https://longbridge.com/en/news/282123044.md) - [Thunder Gold Options Electra Property, Shebandowan Greenstone Belt, Ontario | TGOLF Stock News](https://longbridge.com/en/news/282683545.md) - [Awalé Hits 24.8 g/t Gold over 5 Metres within 18.9 g/t Gold over 7 Metres at Charger | AWLRF Stock News](https://longbridge.com/en/news/282678247.md)
