Hong Kong equities primed for post-GFC style recovery
The bull case for the Hong Kong market is that extremely low valuations and low domestic interest rates will eventually force Chinese household savings out of real estate and into equities.
The argument
The guest compared China's current post-property crash environment to the US post-GFC, where low interest rates eventually fueled a massive equity bull market. While Hong Kong's software-heavy tech giants have struggled with intense domestic competition, mainland hardware and semiconductor plays are performing much better.
The thesis, stress-tested
✓ What validates it
- ✓Inflows of Chinese household savings into domestic and Hong Kong equity markets
- ✓Stabilization and recovery of earnings growth for major Hang Seng tech constituents
▸ Risks discussed
- ▸Persistent weakness in Chinese consumer spending
- ▸Intense domestic competition eroding margins for online retail and search platforms
Hear it yourself
"You know, you talk about the S and P with, you know, interest rates in China are one and a half percent. And they had a very difficult property crash. And this reminds me of it's a bit bit more prolonged than The US, but it's reminding me of us coming out of the GFC."
