In just 79 days, the fundraising scale exceeded HKD 100 billion, setting a new high in five years. However, beneath the prosperity, there are undercurrents— the rate of new stocks breaking below their issue price has significantly increased, and the market shows clear structural differentiation. AI large model companies like Zhipu and MINIMAX-W have seen their stock prices rise more than fivefold since their listings, while new stocks in traditional industries are generally under pressure. What new pattern is reflected in this "ice and fire" IPO feast in the Hong Kong stock market? ## Fundraising Scale Hits Five-Year High, Break Below Issue Price Rate Significantly Increases In the first quarter of 2026, the Hong Kong stock IPO market welcomed a strong recovery. According to Wind data, as of March 31, a total of 40 companies (39 on the main board, 1 on GEM) completed IPOs, an increase of 150% compared to 16 companies in the same period last year; the total fundraising amounted to approximately HKD 109.9 billion, a year-on-year increase of 488.81%. This fundraising scale not only far exceeds the total amount for the entire years of 2023 and 2024 but also sets a new high since the second quarter of 2021. In terms of fundraising pace, the Hong Kong stock IPO market completed the HKD 100 billion financing scale in just 79 days, while it took nearly half a year to achieve this goal in the same period last year. Monthly, the IPO fundraising amounts from January to March were HKD 42.3 billion, HKD 50.1 billion, and HKD 17.5 billion, with the number of newly listed stocks being 13, 11, and 16 respectively. The return of large IPO projects has become the backbone of this round of financing boom. Two well-known mainland companies, MUYUAN and EASTROC, have successively landed on the Hong Kong stock market, each raising over HKD 10 billion, greatly boosting the overall fundraising scale of the market. The top three new stocks by fundraising scale are MUYUAN (HKD 12.099 billion), EASTROC (HKD 11.099 billion), and Lanqi Technology (HKD 8.099 billion), all of which are dual-listed A+H. However, behind this impressive performance, the performance of newly listed stocks is increasingly diverging. As of the close on April 1, 16 out of the 40 newly listed stocks had already fallen below their issue prices, resulting in a break below issue price rate of approximately 40%. ## Information Technology Sector Dominates, New Economy Enterprises Account for Over 50% From an industry perspective, the Hong Kong stock IPO market in the first quarter of 2026 shows a clear "technology shift." According to the classification of first-level industries by Tonghuashun, the number of new stocks from the information technology sector is the highest, with 22 companies, accounting for 56.41% of the total, and the fundraising amount is HKD 65.869 billion, accounting for 67.79% of the total amount. Specifically, industries such as semiconductors, software services, robotics, and medical technology have become the main forces in IPOs. Among them, the number of companies listed in semiconductors, software services, and industrial engineering reached 8, 7, and 7 respectively, with companies in sub-sectors like algorithm vision and robotics being densely listed. The consumer goods sector ranks second, with a total of 7 companies listed in both non-daily and daily consumer goods Analysts point out that Hong Kong stocks are shifting from a structure that was previously biased towards finance, real estate, and consumption, to one that is more focused on technology and innovation-driven sectors. This aligns with the changing logic of global capital allocation. From the performance post-listing, there is a clear differentiation among various industries. Companies in sectors such as AI, semiconductors, and new energy have shown relatively strong performance after going public, with some AI companies achieving several times their initial value shortly after listing, becoming core assets pursued by investors. In contrast, traditional consumption, healthcare, and some industrial companies are more likely to experience price declines or weak fluctuations. ## Top Five Bull Stocks and Top Five Bear Stocks: AI Newcomers Lead, Traditional Industries Under Pressure **Top Five Bull Stocks: AI Large Model Companies Stand Out** **1\.

According to data released by the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, as of March 31, in addition to the 39 listed main board companies, there are 17 main board companies approved by the listing committee awaiting listing, and there are 409 main board IPO applications still being processed. CICC pointed out that the activity of IPOs and refinancing in 2025 lays the groundwork for funding needs in 2026. Based on the current number of companies queued for listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and the potential financing scale, the IPO financing scale in Hong Kong may increase from last year's HKD 285.8 billion to approximately HKD 440 billion in 2026. The market generally believes that the IPO financing scale in Hong Kong is expected to continue its active trend, but the pace and quality will become more important variables. On one hand, as more large projects are pushed forward, there is still room for fundraising to increase; on the other hand, the continuous expansion of IPOs may lead to a certain diversion of existing funds, especially as a large number of newly listed stocks will gradually reach the end of their lock-up period in the second half of 2026, which may increase market volatility Daily Economic News ### 相关股票 - [MUYUAN (02714.HK)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/02714.HK.md) - [EASTROC (09980.HK)](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/quote/09980.HK.md) ## 相关资讯与研究 - [Meet 'Dobby': The AI agent that could kill the app economy](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/281354277.md) - [MedPal AI Wins Strong Shareholder Backing at AGM as It Expands AI Health Platform](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/281501359.md) - [Insig AI Plans Growth Drive and Eyes Nasdaq Dual Listing](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/281311983.md) - [Letter from the Editor Introducing AI Intelligence on American Banker](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/281266312.md) - [SharonAI Secures Major Long-Term AI Cloud Services Deal](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/news/281363534.md)
