Citigroup: Rates HKEX as "sell", with a target price reduced to HKD 230.
Citigroup released a research report stating that it gives a "sell" rating on Hong Kong Stock Exchange (00388), and lowers the earnings per share forecast for the fiscal years 2024 to 2026 by 1% to 3% to reflect the downward adjustment of the average daily turnover forecast. The target price is lowered from HK$240 to HK$230. The company's performance for the second quarter is expected to be good but with uncertain growth prospects. Due to the market sentiment weakening again, the average daily turnover since July is about 100 billion yuan. Citigroup pointed out that Hong Kong Stock Exchange will announce the second quarter results on August 21. The bank predicts that the second quarter net profit will reach 3.3 billion yuan, an increase of 10% and 12% quarter-on-quarter and year-on-year, respectively, which is 2% higher than the market forecast.
