The benefits are pouring in, and the Hong Kong stock market is booming! Has Tencent outperformed the top seven US stocks in terms of gains during the year?

Futu News ·  Apr 26 09:44

Thanks to the release of favorable policies, large inflows of capital from the south, and improvements in corporate performance, Hong Kong stocks have recently rebounded strongly, igniting market enthusiasm. The Hang Seng Index hit a new high in nearly four months, and institutions at home and abroad are “raising their voices.”

Among them, “stock king” Tencent took the lead in charging. Due to the drastic increase in buybacks, the market's expectations for game and advertising revenue gradually became optimistic. Tencent exploded for three days, driving the stock price to rise by more than 17% during the year.

Bloomberg pointed out that Tencent's increase this year has surpassed the performance of the “Seven Big US Stock Total Return Index” compiled by it of less than 15% over the same period. Use the US stock market to track the Big Seven ETFs$Roundhill Magnificent Seven ETF (MAGS.US)$For example, the ETF increased by about 13% during the year, and the increase also lagged behind Tencent.

Favorable policies were released, and 100 billion dollars of capital went south! Good profits for Hong Kong stocks are pouring in

At the policy level, the Securities Regulatory Commission announced 5 cooperation measures with Hong Kong last Friday, including easing the scope of ETF products, incorporating REITs, supporting RMB trading counters, optimizing mutual recognition of funds, and supporting leading companies in the mainland industry to go public in Hong Kong. The five major benefits accurately address issues such as insufficient liquidity in the Hong Kong stock market and declining attractiveness of financing, and have become strong support for the current round of Hong Kong stock market gains.

At the capital level, Southbound Capital continues to increase its positions in Hong Kong stocks, and market optimism is high. As of Thursday, mainland investors have increased their holdings of Hong Kong stocks for 19 consecutive trading days, the longest continuous increase in history. So far this year, with the exception of 11 trading days, mainland investors have increased their holdings of Hong Kong stocks on all trading days, with a cumulative net purchase amount of over HK$210 billion during the year.

According to the latest quarterly report, Hong Kong stocks have become the main target for fund managers to increase their positions. Among them, up to half of the “A-share fund” managed by star fund manager Zhang Kun is the market value of Hong Kong stocks, while the “Shanghai-Hong Kong-Shenzhen Fund” managed by many star fund managers “contains more than 50% or even 60% of Hong Kong.”

Furthermore, more and more QDII funds are beginning to withdraw their US stock positions to Hong Kong stocks. This is the complete opposite of QDII's operation to reduce Hong Kong stock allocations and increase US stock positions in the first quarter of last year. Take Harvest Global Internet Fund QDII as an example. The Q1 report shows that fund manager Wang Xinchen significantly lowered his US stock position, reducing his US stock position while vigorously increasing his position on Hong Kong stocks. The latest Hong Kong stock position has jumped to 34%.

Some agencies pointed out that the overall performance of the Chinese economy has been stable since this year. In particular, PMI and trade data since the beginning of the year were generally better than expected, providing investors with confidence support. Furthermore, Hong Kong stocks are currently in a valuation depression. Many globally competitive companies have static price-earnings ratios of only 10 times, which is clearly undervalued, and is preparing huge potential returns.

“Stock King” Tencent took the lead, and Bloomberg shouted to outperform the “Seven Heroes”!

In the current round of the rebound in Hong Kong stocks, TechNet stocks took the lead in surging. Among them,$MEITUAN-W (03690.HK)$,$KUAISHOU-W (01024.HK)$Over 19% increase in three days, leading stocks$TENCENT (00700.HK)$Reproducing the “stock king” style, the stock price exploded on the 3rd, once approaching the HK$350 mark.

Recently, Tencent officially announced that “Dungeons and Warriors: Origins” (DNF mobile game), which game fans have been waiting for many years, will officially launch on May 21. As the leading IP product that users have been looking forward to for a long time, “DNF Mobile Game” is expected to bring considerable revenue and performance growth to Tencent after its launch. Analysts at Morgan Stanley pointed out that the first quarter of this year is expected to be a low point in Tencent's local game business, and the DNF mobile game to be launched in the second quarter will be a turning point.

Furthermore, the HK$100 billion share repurchase plan previously announced by the company is regarded as an important benefit. The market generally believes that this will effectively offset the financial pressure caused by shareholders' holdings reduction and have a positive impact on stock prices.

Bloomberg pointed out that Tencent's cumulative increase since the beginning of the year is about 17%, which has surpassed the share price performance of the Magnificent Seven Total Return Index (Magnificent Seven Total Return Index) of less than 15% during the same period.

Looking at the price-earnings ratio, Tencent's latest forward price-earnings ratio is about 16.5 times, which is clearly lower than the average of 23 to 28 times in the past 5 years. Currently, there is still a lot of room for improvement. Compared to the top seven US stocks, Google, which has the lowest expected price-earnings ratio, is also 23.6 times higher.

Tencent Holdings will release its financial report for the first quarter of 2024 on May 14. In response, some agencies pointed out that Tencent's game and video account business in the first quarter of 2024 showed a positive growth trend. In particular, the game business may increase by 17% month-on-month, and the growth rate is expected to pick up throughout the year.

Domestic and foreign institutions are singing in unison, and the attitude of foreign investors has changed dramatically

After the favorable policy was released, domestic institutions agreed that the new regulations would help unblock connectivity mechanisms, introduce capital activity into the Hong Kong capital market, and enhance liquidity. According to the Cathay Pacific Junan Research Report, the latest measures will continue to drive capital from the mainland into Hong Kong, enhance its influence on the market, and facilitate price stability; the Hong Kong stock Internet policy adjustments and valuation adjustments have been sufficient in the past few years, and stock prices are entering the batting zone, so opportunities for Chinese Internet companies can be examined from a longer-term perspective.

At the same time, foreign-funded institutions' outlook on Chinese assets is also undergoing a major shift. UBS, a major international bank, raised the ratings of A-shares and Hong Kong stocks to “additional allocation”, and upgraded the ratings of Chinese stocks to “overallocation.” Sunil Tirumalai, the bank's chief strategist for global emerging market stocks, said that among the constituent stocks of the MSCI China Index, the consumer and internet industries account for a high share, and performance is expected to improve as consumption shows initial signs of recovery.

Meanwhile, Goldman Sachs analysts, led by Kinger Lau, are also optimistic about the performance of the A-share market. The bank believes that China's reform efforts to reshape the capital market will significantly boost the overall valuation of the stock market, and the overall valuation of the A-share market may rise by about 40% under the most optimistic circumstances. The risk appetite of the A-share market is likely to increase in the short term, and the trading environment will also be more favorable.

Market analysts believe that foreign-funded institutions such as UBS and Goldman Sachs rarely raised China's asset ratings, conveying positive judgments on the fundamentals, macroeconomic environment, corporate profit prospects, and policy trends of the A-share and Hong Kong stock markets, or highlighting initial optimism that the Chinese market is beginning to gradually improve.
