The Hong Kong Stock Exchange's Technology 100 Index Semi-annual Adjustment: AI Leaders Concentrated on Strengthening the "Hard Technology" Sector.

Recently, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange's Technology 100 Index semi-annual routine adjustment and rapid inclusion mechanism took effect on the same day for the first time. Zhinpu, Biren Technology, and Tianshu Zhixin, three AI hard technology leaders, were included in the index through the rapid inclusion mechanism, along with seven stocks such as Wooko Technology, Convergence Technology, and Hesai-W included in the routine adjustment, forming a total of ten new constituent stocks. After this adjustment, the index's "hard technology" component significantly increased, enhancing its representation in future industries such as artificial intelligence, autonomous driving, and robotics. Analysts believe that the inclusion of representative core companies in the artificial intelligence industry chain in the index may bring clear passive fund allocation increments in the short term. In the medium to long term, the addition of high-quality AI leaders also helps to improve the overall growth elasticity and valuation benchmark effect of the index, attracting more attention and funding to the structural opportunities in the Hong Kong stock technology sector.
