# The Hang Seng Index rose by 272 points, crossing the bull-bear line, with a turnover of HKD 350.9 billion. Meituan rose nearly 14%. Analysis: Resistance at 25,600 is expected in the upward test | Hong Kong stock market opens

The dawn of the US-Iran war is emerging, oil prices are falling, and Asian stock markets are rebounding. The Hong Kong stock market opened high and rose throughout the early session, with the Hang Seng Index recovering all the losses from this Monday. However, there was selling pressure at high levels, and the Hang Seng Index turned to decline again. In the afternoon, news of a competitive opportunity in the takeaway platform sector stimulated the market, with Meituan (3690) leading the rise of takeaway platform stocks, and the Hang Seng Index ultimately closed at 25,335 points, up 272 points, breaking through the bull-bear boundary. The total market turnover increased to HKD 350.9 billion, remaining at the HKD 300 billion level for five consecutive days, with northbound capital inflow of HKD 22.322 billion.

The Hang Seng Index opened up 217 points, reaching a maximum increase of 327 points, creating a nearly one-week high. However, there was selling pressure at high levels, causing the Hang Seng Index to lose some of its gains, briefly turning down by 48 points. Nevertheless, in the afternoon, heavyweight stocks like Meituan and Alibaba (9988) rallied, driving the Hang Seng Index to regain its upward momentum, closing at 25,335 points, up 272 points. The National Index closed at 8,582 points, up 83 points; the Tech Index closed at 4,922 points, up 92 points.

## Alibaba and JD.com rise over 4%

It was reported that in the afternoon, the State Administration for Market Regulation of China reprinted a commentary article from the Economic Daily titled "The Takeaway War Should End," leading the market to anticipate the end of the domestic takeaway war, which supported the rise of takeaway platform stocks. The soon-to-be-released earnings report from takeaway giant Meituan surged by 13.9%, closing at HKD 90, making it the best-performing blue-chip stock; another takeaway giant, Alibaba, rose by 4.6%, closing at HKD 128.9; JD.com (9618) increased by 4.9%, closing at HKD 112.4, with the three stocks contributing over 196 points to the market.

Some technology stocks weakened against the trend. Tencent (700) fell by 1.7%, closing at HKD 505.5; Baidu (9888) dropped by 0.5%, closing at HKD 112; SenseTime (020) saw its annual net loss significantly narrow by 58.6%, and its EBITDA turned positive for the first time in the second half of the year after going public, but its stock price still declined by 1.6%, closing at HKD 1.88.

## Pop Mart plunges 22.5% after earnings

The performance of important earnings stocks was mixed. Nongfu Spring (9633) saw its net profit rise by 30.9% year-on-year last year, receiving favorable ratings from major institutions like Credit Lyonnais, with its stock price rising by 9.3%, closing at HKD 46.42; Haidilao (6862) earned less last year, falling by 14%, and dropped 11.1%, closing at HKD 14.22; another key stock, Pop Mart (9992), earned nearly three times more last year, with LABUBU contributing over 38% of its revenue. However, the market may be concerned about its excessive reliance on a single core IP, leading to a sharp drop of 22.5% for Pop Mart after earnings, closing at HKD 168.3, making it the worst-performing blue-chip stock.

## Chen Weicong: Takeaway War Ceases, Positive Atmosphere

East Asia Securities senior investment strategist Chen Weicong stated that the situation in the Middle East has eased, especially with short-term signs of peace talks between the U.S. and Iran, leading the market to anticipate that the war may be postponed. Meanwhile, Iran has stated that all vessels except hostile fleets are allowed to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, causing international oil prices to fall, which has overall improved market sentiment. Additionally, if future takeaway platform subsidies decrease, it will help improve corporate profitability, providing a short-term stimulus to the market, but details need to be monitored. He expects the Hang Seng Index to face resistance in the short term around 25,600 to 25,700 points.
