Positive sentiment was fueled by the Q2 FY2026 (Q3 2025) earnings report of a leading internet company, released on November 25, 2025. The report showed group revenue of approximately RMB 247.8 billion, up 15% year-over-year (excluding divested businesses), surpassing market expectations. Notably, the "AI + Cloud" segment maintained robust growth, with Cloud Intelligence Group revenue reaching RMB 39.82 billion, a 34% YoY increase. AI-related product revenue extended its streak of triple-digit YoY growth to nine consecutive quarters, further validating AI's commercialization progress.

Recent market volatility in Hong Kong, attributed to "rate-cut divergence + AI bubble concerns" and year-end profit-taking, was deemed a temporary irrational panic by CMB International Securities. The firm noted that as external headwinds ease, sentiment is likely to recover. Their latest report argued that the AI sector lacks systemic bubbles, with speculation limited to certain concept stocks. It highlighted differences between Chinese and U.S. AI firms: Chinese/Hong Kong companies focus on "efficiency revolution" with small models and broad applications, requiring far lower capital expenditure than U.S. peers engaged in a "computing arms race."
