Shanghai Henlius Biotech, Inc. (Henlius) disclosed on 21 August 2026 that the company will be included in the Hang Seng Composite Index following the index provider’s quarterly review for the period ended 30 June 2026. The adjustment takes effect on 7 September 2026.
The Hang Seng Composite Index captures roughly the top 95th percentile of total market capitalisation on the Hong Kong Main Board. Henlius’ inclusion therefore positions its H shares to satisfy the criteria for trading under both the Shanghai-Hong Kong and Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect programmes, potentially expanding access for mainland investors.
Management highlighted that index entry signals capital-market recognition of the company’s value and growth prospects, and is expected to widen the shareholder base and improve share liquidity. The board advised shareholders and prospective investors to exercise caution when dealing in the company’s shares.
