In stark contrast, in December 2025, out of 25 newly listed stocks, 10 failed to maintain their issue price at the close on their first day of trading. Several interviewees analyzed that the “zero breakdown” phenomenon in the Hong Kong new stock market this year is the result of multiple factors working together, including short-term market sentiment, pricing strategies, and policy-level influences. Regarding short-term market sentiment, investor confidence has turned positive, injecting vitality into the market; issuers have adopted cautious, pragmatic, and reasonable pricing, leaving room for the stocks’ performance after listing; mechanisms such as cornerstone investors also play a key role in stabilizing stock prices.
