China's Equity Markets Offer Diversification, Resilience Amid Iran Crisis -- Market Talk

Dow Jones14:33

0633 GMT - China's equity markets offer investors good diversification and resilience amid geopolitical tensions in Iran, HSBC analysts say in a note. They point to signs of a structural earnings recovery for corporates, with improving profit margin forecasts in growth sectors such as AI infrastructure, biotech and chemicals. HSBC recommends seeking alpha in A shares and beta in H shares following the recent tech selloff, though Hong Kong still offers tailwinds from its busy IPO pipeline and peak period for unlocked shares. The bank maintains end-2026 index targets of 4500 for the Shanghai Composite and 5400 for the CSI300. HSBC expects value stocks to outperform over the near term, with growth stocks likely rebounding later this year on attractive valuations, improved earnings revision and abundant liquidity.
