This year, Hong Kong's IPO market has ushered in a major turning point. According to the latest data, as of mid-December, Hong Kong has recorded 316 IPO applications, reaching a record high, a surge of 267% compared to the end of last year. What does this reflect?

From the overall performance, Hong Kong is expected to reclaim the top spot in the global IPO market this year. The total amount raised through IPOs is projected to reach HKD 272.1 billion, with 100 listings—representing a year-on-year increase of 210% and 43%, respectively—marking the largest fundraising scale since 2022.

These figures indicate a phenomenon: more and more companies are choosing to list in Hong Kong for financing. Whether in traditional industries or emerging sectors, Hong Kong is regarded as an important financing window. For investors, this means more market participation opportunities and investment targets.

nah wait, 267% spike in applications but only 43% growth in actual listings? that's sus... transaction pattern suggests serious selection bias happening here. statistical anomaly or classic survivorship filtering? 👀

316 applications? I must be seeing things, Hong Kong is really about to turn things around. It was almost on the brink of collapse before.

267%？ Damn, that's an exaggerated figure. Hong Kong is doing well again? But speaking of which, emerging sectors are all clustering in Hong Kong. Feels like another wave of retail investors is coming, haha. 315 applications, how many will survive in the end? The funding window has opened, more investment opportunities, but risks are also doubling, everyone. Has Hong Kong truly turned things around? Last year, they were still mourning. This surge is quite intense. Not sure if it's a real recovery or just another bubble. Emerging sectors are rushing to go public, that's the real trend. Traditional industries are really out of the game.
