On the news front, the US Federal Reserve announced a 50 basis point cut in the federal fund rate target range to 4.75% to 5%, marking the first rate cut by the Federal Reserve since 2020. The Hong Kong Monetary Authority also announced today a 50 basis point cut in the base rate to 5.25%. CSC believes that Hong Kong stocks are sensitive to external liquidity and will follow the rate cut due to the linked exchange rate, with greater flexibility than A-shares.
In addition, CSC Securities believes that in the past two years, major internet companies listed in Hong Kong, such as Tencent, Xiaomi, Alibaba, have carried out large-scale dividend and share buyback activities, which have boosted their stock prices. The dividend and buyback wave is related to the transition of major internet companies from high leverage expansion to liquidity recycling and focusing on shareholder returns. All major internet companies listed in Hong Kong have benefited from the dividend and buyback wave, providing new areas of focus.
