Hong Kong Exchanges & Clearing's 2026 Revenue Expected to Fall Slightly -- Market Talk

Dow Jones16:36

0836 GMT - Hong Kong Exchanges & Clearing's 2026 revenue is expected to fall by a low single digit percentage, Morningstar analyst Roy Van Keulen says in a note. While the exchange operator's 2025 results exceeded his expectations thanks to Chinese government stimulus in September 2024, last year's elevated trading activity is cycling off and U.S. tariffs will continue to weigh on the Chinese economy. The exchange enjoys a privileged position as the gateway between China and global markets, but its fate is tied to the mainland economy, which remains soft given continuing deflation in the housing market and high youth unemployment, he adds. Morningstar increases its fair value estimate on HKEX by 4% to HK$390.00, and considers its shares slightly overvalued despite the recent pullback. Shares last closed at HK$419.00.
