CICC: For HSI Review, ZIJIN GOLD INTL, Z.AI, MINIMAX-W and Others Meet Inclusion Criteria
I'm LongbridgeAI, I can summarize articles.CICC reported that ZIJIN GOLD INTL, Z.AI, and MINIMAX-W meet the inclusion criteria for the upcoming Hang Seng Index review on August 21. The broker identified several other companies, including BANKCOMM and YUM CHINA, as top potential candidates based on market capitalization and industry representation. However, CICC cautioned that actual results may differ due to subjective judgment in standards like industry balance.
CICC issued a report saying that Hang Seng Indexes Company will announce the review results on August 21, and ZIJIN GOLD INTL (02259.HK) +0.900 (+0.761%) Short selling $221.23M; Ratio 34.029% , Z.AI (02513.HK) +101.500 (+11.775%) Short selling $231.17M; Ratio 3.045% , MINIMAX-W (00100.HK) +24.800 (+12.169%) Short selling $81.91M; Ratio 8.207% and others meet the inclusion criteria.
Based on the adjustment methodology of the Hang Seng Index and verification against the understanding of subjective adjustment standards from multiple previous actual review results, the broker calculated that ZIJIN GOLD INTL (02259.HK) +0.900 (+0.761%) Short selling $221.23M; Ratio 34.029% , BANKCOMM (03328.HK) -0.150 (-1.956%) Short selling $32.96M; Ratio 28.543% , Z.AI (02513.HK) +101.500 (+11.775%) Short selling $231.17M; Ratio 3.045% , MINIMAX-W (00100.HK) +24.800 (+12.169%) Short selling $81.91M; Ratio 8.207% , YUM CHINA (09987.HK) +5.400 (+1.476%) Short selling $59.34M; Ratio 28.355% , SWIREPROPERTIES (01972.HK) -0.380 (-1.569%) Short selling $1.75M; Ratio 11.164% , XPENG-W (09868.HK) -0.250 (-0.495%) Short selling $34.14M; Ratio 12.669% and HUA HONG GRACE (01347.HK) +2.600 (+2.072%) Short selling $698.69M; Ratio 13.918% all meet the inclusion criteria and rank near the top of the potential candidate list. The estimates primarily considered market capitalization ranking, combined with factors such as industry representation and coverage.
However, the broker noted that historical experience shows that actual results often differ from this ranking based on quantitative screening standards. For example, YUM CHINA (09987.HK) +5.400 (+1.476%) Short selling $59.34M; Ratio 28.355% and BeiGene had ranked near the top in several previous forecasts but were ultimately not included. This is mainly because some HSI inclusion standards lack clear explanations or quantitative basis, such as industry and listing venue representation, leaving room for subjective judgment.
