BOCOM International Securities noted that Hong Kong stocks are awaiting positive catalysts in the near term. After the Hang Seng Index and the Hang Seng TECH Index staged a notable recovery in July, they corrected in August. Benefiting from a rebound in liquidity, valuation repair, and earnings improvement, they may have a foundation for further upside ahead, and are awaiting positive catalysts in the near term.

On allocation, a barbell structure is recommended, with catalysts at both ends. The allocation logic is that, against the backdrop of reflation and the AI technology narrative, both ends of the barbell have independent, structural upside drivers, and the portfolio as a whole has resilience under different scenarios.

One end comprises high-beta technology growth assets, including internet platforms, AI applications, cloud computing, the semiconductor industry chain, consumer electronics, and the intelligent vehicle industry chain. They benefit from rising AI penetration, accelerating commercialization and monetization of large models, and the long-term policy dividends of domestic substitution.
