Sun Hung Kai Properties' stock surged 5.05% during Wednesday's intraday trading, highlighting robust investor sentiment toward the Hong Kong real estate sector.

The sharp rise follows optimistic assessments from leading investment banks. Citibank recently reiterated its forecast for an 8% increase in Hong Kong property prices and expressed a bullish outlook on major property stocks. Similarly, Goldman Sachs maintained its projection of a 12% rise in Hong Kong residential prices this year, pointing to resilient recovery momentum despite macroeconomic uncertainties.

Further supporting the move, Sun Hung Kai Properties has launched a new price list for 110 units at its Tsuen Wan project, signaling active development and sales initiatives. The positive sentiment extended across the sector, with peers such as New World Development and Kerry Properties also recording gains during the session.
