On July 17th, the Hong Kong stock market saw a net outflow of HK$1.457 billion from mainland capital via Stock Connect programs.
Specifically, net buying through the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect amounted to HK$1.91 billion, while net selling through the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect reached HK$3.367 billion.
Tracker Fund of Hong Kong (02800), CSOP Hang Seng TECH Index ETF (03033), and XIAOMI-W (01810) were the top recipients of net inflows from mainland investors.
Conversely, the largest net outflows were recorded for BABA-W (09988), HUA HONG GRACE (01347), and KB LAMINATES (01888).
Tracker Fund of Hong Kong (02800) and CSOP Hang Seng TECH Index ETF (03033) attracted net purchases of HK$2.975 billion and HK$971 million, respectively.
Analysts from Shenwan Hongyuan noted that after a significant rally last year, the Hong Kong market has shown lackluster performance at the index level this year. The market is currently in a "triple bottom" region.
In terms of market structure, the substantial short positions accumulated earlier could become a driving force for a rebound when the market sentiment reverses.
From the perspective of potential catalysts, both top-down macroeconomic factors and bottom-up industry narratives have shown recent shifts, which could provide momentum for the market to bottom out and recover.
XIAOMI-W (01810) received a net inflow of HK$322 million.
The company's automotive division launched the SkyNomad Xiaomi Pengcheng, positioned as an "intelligent variable large-space SUV" distinct from the SU7 and YU7 series, aiming to meet diverse in-car scenario needs.
Additionally, the Redmi Note 17 series is scheduled for release on July 14th. Despite rising storage costs, the company is committed to safeguarding core user experience for mid-range consumers, maintaining a high value-for-money positioning by enhancing configurations.
This strategy is expected to help capture more mid-range market share and strengthen upstream bargaining power.
GIGADEVICE (03986) saw a net inflow of HK$188 million.
Bocom International pointed out that major overseas manufacturers like Samsung, SK Hynix, Micron, and Kioxia are continuing to withdraw capacity from niche DRAM and SLC NAND Flash markets.
The resulting supply gap is expected to become significantly apparent starting in 2025, opening a window of opportunity for GigaDevice to fill the void.
Leveraging its experience in expanding market share in the NOR Flash sector, the company is poised to achieve rapid growth in both market share and profits during this round of industry reallocation.
Its deep collaboration with ChangXin Memory Technologies serves as a core support for its DRAM business.
YOFC (06869), SMIC (00981), KB LAMINATES (01888), and HUA HONG GRACE (01347) faced net outflows of HK$264 million, HK$1.401 billion, HK$1.638 billion, and HK$1.938 billion, respectively.
Guolian An Fund previously stated that the recent sell-off in overseas markets stemmed from a reduction in trading congestion within the AI hardware sector, with concerns that earlier AI hype had become excessively euphoric, prompting collective risk-off positioning and selling.
According to views from Wall Street giants like Bank of America and Nomura, as well as top market research firms like SemiAnalysis, this widespread plunge in global memory chip and AI computing infrastructure investment theme stocks resembles a concentrated unwinding of extreme expectations, highly leveraged positions, and overcrowded bullish bets, rather than a sudden collapse in industry demand.
TENCENT (00700) and BABA-W (09988) experienced net outflows of HK$265 million and HK$2.451 billion, respectively.
GF Securities believes that opportunities in the Hong Kong stock market in the second half of the year may primarily consist of short-term rallies driven by technical rebounds from oversold conditions.
Considering the significant number of loss-making positions above the current level of the Hang Seng TECH Index, any low-volume rebound reaching resistance zones is highly susceptible to pullbacks after initial gains.
Such rallies could be swift in both arrival and departure, with the rebound window and magnitude potentially similar to the first half of this year, making them difficult to capture.
