Vanessa Sze Chun LEE has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors, including HKEx’s unique role as a gateway between international investors and Mainland China and its expanding global reach. She highlights the exchange’s strengthening connectivity via the Connect schemes, its efforts to deepen RMB product access, and its growing partnerships with markets in the Middle East and the U.S., all of which reinforce its position as a leading Asian financial hub.
Lee also points to improving market sentiment, robust trading activity, and a solid IPO pipeline, particularly in high-growth sectors, as key drivers of sustainable earnings expansion. Together with HKEx’s push into multi-asset offerings and fixed income and currency infrastructure, as well as supportive policies and rising Southbound flows, she believes these structural growth engines justify the HKD540 target price and support a continued re-rating of the stock despite geopolitical risks.
In another report released on February 26, Citi also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a HK$505.00 price target.
