Hong Kong Stock Exchange Posts Record HKD 4.08 Billion Q1 Profit, Up 37%, Led by Tencent and Alibaba Demand

Hong Kong's stock exchange reported a record net profit of HKD 4.08 billion in the first quarter of 2025, marking a 37% increase compared to the same period last year. This surge in profitability was driven by a trading boom fueled by global market volatility and a rise in local listings. Chinese technology stocks, including Tencent and Alibaba, were among the most popular investments for Chinese funds during this period, contributing to the increased demand and trading activity on the bourse. The sustained momentum in trading and listing activities underscores the growing investor interest in Hong Kong's market, particularly in the technology sector.
