On September 1, HKEX fell 3.06% in regular trading, trading at 404.8 HKD/share, with turnover of HK$1.337 billion. The decline came on the first trading session after the company released detailed H1 financial results.

HKEX reported record H1 earnings on August 31, with net profit attributable to shareholders rising 24% year-over-year to HK$10.568 billion and revenue and other income reaching HK$16.702 billion, up 19%. Adjusted net profit came in at HK$13.411 billion, up 23%, with an adjusted net margin of 81%. The strong performance was driven by active participation from mainland and international investors, with Hong Kong stock cash market turnover rising significantly and Stock Connect daily average turnover hitting a record high. IPO activity was particularly robust, with 86 new listings in H1, up 95% year-over-year, raising a total of HK$212.4 billion. In the first seven months, 104 companies went public, with IPO proceeds surging 154% to HK$328.2 billion. Despite the strong results, CCASS custodian data showed a recent decline in institutional holdings of HKEX shares, suggesting some position reduction among market participants.
