- **Wandametro · 2025-02-26T06:25:48.000Z**: HKEX itself is clearly not the hot stock of this period, and earnings season has always been a time for profit-taking. Any reason such as worse-than-expected earnings, global uncertainty, or hot money leaving the Hong Kong market could be used as an excuse to knock down HKEX!
