It's so hot! 143 companies have already submitted applications for Hong Kong Stock Exchange IPOs this year.

Wind data shows that since 2026, 143 companies have completed their IPO applications, with 120 of them being first-time applicants. As of February 16, there are still 401 new stock applications being processed in the Hong Kong stock market, including 4 companies that have already passed their hearings. Deloitte China's Capital Market Services Department predicts that the Hong Kong new stock market in 2026 may surpass last year, with about 160 new stocks raising no less than HK$300 billion. A trend worth noting is that recently listed technology companies on the Hong Kong stock market are attracting long-term international capital. For example, 17 cornerstone investors of Lianqi Technology have collectively subscribed to approximately $450 million, including global long-term funds such as UBS Asset Management, JPMorgan Asset Management, and old-school long-term European funds represented by Allianz; as well as traditional long-term funds from mainland China such as China Post Wealth Management and Taikang Life Insurance.
