CLSA published a research report forecasting that 2026 will continue to be a year of numerous catalysts for Hong Kong conglomerates. The broker currently predicted that the recurring profits of Hong Kong conglomerates will grow by about 5% in 2026.

Furthermore, the weak USD can provide some support, and it is believed that conglomerates will continue to actively enhance shareholder returns. It is expected that dividends will increase by about 3% YoY next year. Investors are advised to obtain reasonable returns through dividends while waiting for catalysts.
