Hong Kong's initial public offering (IPO) market has seen strong performance this year, with over 100 companies listed and more than $40 billion raised—surpassing the full-year total of $37 billion from 2025. Hong Kong Exchanges & Clearing Ltd. (HKEX) CEO Bonnie Chan highlighted that while tech and AI firms have driven much of this momentum, a diverse range of sectors including biotechnology, mining, and consumer goods are also contributing to the IPO pipeline. In addition to robust IPO activity, follow-on offerings in Hong Kong have reached over $50 billion year-to-date. HKEX reported record half-yearly profits, with net income rising 24% year on year to HK$10.57 billion ($1.35 billion). The exchange also noted increased investor interest from global institutional and regional retail investors. Average daily turnover in Hong Kong has risen above HK$280 billion this year compared to HK$250 billion for the entire 2025 period, indicating growing liquidity and participation across international markets.
