Sector Performance
▪ The consumer electronics and retail sectors faced pressure during intraday trading. POP MART saw a significant decline, at one point falling over 10% intraday, and currently stands at a 6.95% drop with a turnover of HK$8.237 billion. Following the release of its H2 2025 results, the company's 2026 earnings guidance was conservative. Additionally, HSBC lowered its target price for the company, which, coupled with poor performance in its overseas business, led to clear capital outflows and a decrease in market risk appetite.
▪ Alibaba weakened in line with the technology and internet sectors, falling 3.34% intraday with a turnover of HK$4.627 billion. Although there were brief rebounds as capital intervened at lower levels, the stock remained under overall pressure. JD.com showed resilience within the sector, rising 2.22% against the trend with a turnover of HK$706 million, reflecting a defensive stance by capital and recognition of its fundamental improvements.
▪ The internet content and information sector broadly declined during intraday trading. KUAISHOU-W's decline was particularly prominent, plummeting 13.25% intraday with a turnover of HK$4.936 billion. Despite stable earnings performance, the cessation of separate disclosure of e-commerce GMV and a conservative outlook heightened market doubts, leading to concentrated capital outflows. TENCENT showed overall resilience, with a slight dip of 0.79% intraday and a turnover of HK$4.052 billion, affected by overall market valuations and risk-off sentiment in tech stocks.
Macroeconomic Background
▪ Recent macroeconomic indicators for Hong Kong stocks have been stable, with moderate economic growth and limited inflationary pressure. The fundamental environment is in a recovery phase.
▪ Market participants are currently highly focused on changes in external liquidity and geopolitical risks. These factors remain the main variables affecting Hong Kong stock volatility, leading to a defensive market sentiment.
