It's too hot! This year, 143 companies have submitted applications for listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

Since 2026, a total of 143 companies have completed IPO applications on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, 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 market, including 4 companies that have already passed the hearing. Deloitte China's Capital Markets Services Department predicts that Hong Kong's new stock market in 2026 may surpass last year, with about 160 new stocks raising no less than 300 billion Hong Kong dollars. A trend worth noting is that technology companies recently listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange are being pursued by long-term funds from both domestic and foreign markets. For example, Lianqi Technology has attracted a total of approximately $450 million in subscriptions from 17 cornerstone investors, including global long-term funds such as UBS Asset Management, J.P. Morgan Asset Management; long-term European funds represented by AXA; and traditional long-term funds from mainland China such as China Postal Savings Bank, Taikang Life Insurance, and others.
