On the news front, the Securities and Futures Commission, the Accounting and Financial Reporting Council and the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong issued a joint statement on October 8 to address growing regulatory concerns over the rising number of listed issuers whose financial statements carry an auditor's disclaimer of opinion solely relating to going concern. The regulators noted such cases have risen from 12 in 2017 to 95 in 2025, with 65 of them lasting more than a year and the most extreme case running 14 years. Should disclosure quality fail to improve markedly, the Exchange will consider amending the Listing Rules, including requiring such issuers to be suspended from trading.

CITIC Securities believes that with Hong Kong stocks having corrected for two consecutive months and earnings expectations starting to be revised up, the value of allocating to Hong Kong equities is beginning to emerge; if a series of new mainland property policies can restore positive wealth effects and domestic demand starts to recover, the brokerage sees a fourth-quarter "earnings plus valuation" double-engine rally.
