HKEX Likely to Post Slower 4Q 2025 Profit Growth -- Market Talk

Dow Jones01-12

0230 GMT - Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing's 4Q 2025 net profit growth is forecast to have normalized, slowing to 4% on year as sequential growth in average daily transactions moderated and net investment income declined sharply, UOB Kay Hian analysts Carol Dou and Sunny Chen say in a note. They attribute the weaker growth to a high base effect. Revenue is forecast to have risen 7% on year, supported by a rise in trading-related fees from higher headline ADT, though NII is expected to fall due to a smaller margin fund and narrower net interest spreads. The analysts remain positive on HKEX's ADT outlook and see re-rating potential as Hong Kong's stock market has entered 2026 strongly with robust IPO momentum. UOB KH maintains a HK$550 target price on the stock. Shares last traded at HK$420.00. (jason.chau@wsj.com)
