Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing (HKEX) launches the HKEX Technology 100 Index.

Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEX) officially launched the "HKEX Technology 100 Index" today.

This is the group's first index product covering the Hong Kong stock market, marking a further expansion of its index business and a continued commitment to the construction and development of the regional capital market ecosystem.

The HKEX Technology 100 is positioned as a broad-based equity index, designed to track the performance of the 100 largest technology companies listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

The index constituents cover six major innovative themes, including artificial intelligence, biotechnology and pharmaceuticals, electric vehicles and intelligent driving, information technology, the internet, and robotics.

All constituent stocks are eligible securities under the Stock Connect program, catering to the allocation needs of both international and mainland investors, and helping to enhance market attention and liquidity for these listed companies.

Notably, this year, mainland Chinese robotics industry companies are accelerating their listing process in Hong Kong.

As of December 8th, several companies in the robotics sector, including Zhejiang Sanhua Intelligent Control Co., Ltd., Ningbo Joyson Electronics Co., Ltd., Beijing Geek+ Technology Co., Ltd., and Beijing Yunji Technology Co., Ltd., have successfully listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

In addition, 34 robotics industry companies are currently awaiting listing hearings, reflecting the activity and growth potential of this sector in the Hong Kong stock market.

In the current market environment, comparable valuation benchmarks for listed companies in the robotics sector are still relatively limited, mainly concentrated on already listed companies such as UBTECH (09880), Yuejiang Technology (02432), and MicroPort Robotics-B (02252).

With more relevant companies entering the Hong Kong stock market and the launch of the HKEX Technology 100 Index, it is expected that investors will have access to a richer set of benchmarks and a clearer valuation framework in the future, further promoting market-based pricing and sustainable development of the technology sector, especially the robotics industry.
