Market Focus09-02 14:36

On September 2, HBM HOLDINGS-B rose 5.37% in regular trading, trading at HKD 14.51, with turnover of HKD 71.97 million, ending a multi-session losing streak. The rebound came as the company's scheduled inclusion in the Hang Seng Composite Index on September 7 draws near, fueling expectations of incremental capital inflows.

HBM HOLDINGS-B was selected by Hang Seng Indexes Company Limited for inclusion in the Hang Seng Composite Index, effective September 7. Upon inclusion, the stock is expected to meet eligibility criteria for both Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect and Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect, potentially broadening its investor base and enhancing liquidity.

The prior selloff was triggered by the company's interim results released on August 27, which showed first-half revenue of USD 122 million, up 20.9% year-over-year, while net profit fell 11.16% to USD 64.85 million. The profit decline was attributed to R&D costs surging from USD 17.96 million to USD 29.60 million and administrative expenses rising from USD 7.36 million to USD 16.67 million. With the index inclusion date imminent, oversold recovery demand combined with anticipated passive fund buying drove the intraday rebound.
