Technology growth and green power sectors in the A-share market maintained their strength. The Hang Seng Tech Index opened higher, with the market focus remaining concentrated on AI-related assets. Strong growth from Alibaba Cloud, accelerated advertising revenue at Tencent, and disclosed AI investments have driven up risk appetite for tech assets. On Thursday the 14th, the three major A-share indices opened higher but subsequently turned collectively red. The Shanghai Composite Index fell 0.14%, the Shenzhen Component Index declined 0.04%, and the ChiNext Index dropped 0.09%. In terms of sector performance, CPO concept stocks and the computing power rental sector extended their gains. The green power sector strengthened, while electronic chemicals and industrial gas segments saw upward movement. Sectors such as defense, film and television, copper foil, and wind power equipment led the declines. Nearly 4,000 stocks fell across the Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Beijing markets. The Hang Seng Index opened 1.7% higher, with the Hang Seng Tech Index rising 3.2%. Following its earnings report, Alibaba surged over 7%, Baidu gained nearly 7%, and NIO climbed more than 6%. Yesterday, both Alibaba and Tencent released their financial results, with revenues slightly missing expectations. However, their stock prices defied the trend and moved higher. Analysis suggests the market is not buying current profits but the future of AI: Alibaba Cloud's growth rate of 38% hit a nine-quarter high, with AI revenue targeting 300 billion yuan by year-end. Tencent's advertising growth accelerated to 20%, and it quantified its AI investment costs for the first time. The two giants are sacrificing short-term gains for heavy bets on AI, but monetization is on the way and holds significant promise.
CPO Concept Stocks Continue Gains CPO concept stocks continued their upward trend. Kechuan Technology hit its third consecutive limit-up, Gongjin Electronics rose by the daily limit at the open, Robotech gained over 10%, while Cambridge Technology, Avary Holding, Lante Optics, and Foxconn Industrial Internet, among others, opened higher.
Computing Power Rental Concept Shows Repeated Strength The computing power rental concept demonstrated repeated strength. Runjian and Huasheng hit their second consecutive limit-up, Qunxing Toys rose by the daily limit at the open, while Pingzhi Information, Sugon, Huaqin Technology, and others opened higher.
