QHD PORT (03369) shares soared 5.32% in early trading on Thursday, continuing its recent strong performance in the Hong Kong stock market. The significant uptick comes as the port operator has been showing consistent gains over the past week.

According to recent Stock Connect data, QHD PORT was among the top gainers over the past five trading days, recording an impressive increase of 3.12% in its shareholding ratio. This places the company third in the list of top performers, behind DL HOLDINGS GP and DUALITYBIO-B, which saw increases of 7.70% and 3.45%, respectively.

The sustained interest in QHD PORT is reflected in its current Stock Connect shareholding, which stands at a substantial 44.30%. This high level of participation from mainland investors through the Stock Connect program underscores the growing confidence in the company's prospects and may be contributing to the stock's current momentum.
