NewTimeSpace | Hong Kong Market Close: Three Major Indices Weakened in Choppy Trade, HSI Closed Down 0.02%, with Semiconductors and Pharmaceuticals & Biotechnology among the Top Gainers

NewTimeSpace reported that on August 25, 2026, the three major Hong Kong stock indices weakened in choppy trade. The Hang Seng Index (HSI) edged down 0.02%, the Hang Seng TECH Index edged down 0.12%, and the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index fell 0.31%. The HSI's full-day total market turnover was HKD 254.1 billion, slightly lower than the previous trading session. Southbound capital recorded a net outflow of HKD 6.605 billion.

On the market front, by sector. Semiconductors, Pharmaceuticals & Biotechnology, and Paper & Packaging were among the top gainers. Non-ferrous Metals, Electrical Equipment, and Optional Consumer Retail were among the top losers.

Among them, 42 constituent stocks of the Hang Seng Index rose and 50 fell. On the downside, MEITUAN-W fell 6.65%, OOIL fell 4.80%, and ZIJIN MINING fell 3.64%. On the upside, WUXI BIO rose 7.41%, LENOVO GROUP rose 3.91%, and WUXI APPTEC rose 3.29%.

Among the Hang Seng TECH Index constituents, 18 rose and 12 fell. On the downside, XPENG-W fell 9.19%, TONGCHENGTRAVEL plunged 6.72%, and LEAPMOTOR fell 5.71%. On the upside, Z.AI rose 5.16%, SENSETIME-W rose 2.72%, and ALI HEALTH rose 1.91%.

Among the Stock Connect (HK) constituent stocks, EVEREST MED surged 18.46%, ASYMCHEM jumped 16.02%, and YOFC rose 15.41%. On the downside, ABLE DIGITAL tumbled 14.38%, WANGUO GOLD GP fell 6.54%, and LINGBAO GOLD fell 6.47%.

CINDA INTL HLDG noted that upward momentum in the Hong Kong market remains insufficient: the HSI fell sharply yesterday, mainly due to news of ALIBABA's placement of new shares, while the market's dissatisfaction with South Korea's Samsung Electronics' shareholder return plan also weighed on the share prices of global AI computing hardware companies. Yesterday, the number of declining Hong Kong stocks was roughly double the number of advancing stocks, and market breadth was unfavorable, reflecting still insufficient upward momentum. The HSI rose to 26,187 points in early August before pulling back, forming a double-top pattern that serves as a near-term resistance level, while support is referenced at around 24,800 points, the bottom of the sideways range in mid-July.
