US Top News and Analysis | Goldman Sachs cuts Hong Kong stocks in favor of mainland China AI hardware plays
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
Goldman Sachs announced that it is shifting its focus from Hong Kong‑listed H‑shares to mainland China A‑shares to capitalize on the surge in artificial‑intelligence hardware. The bank cut its rating on Chinese H‑shares to market‑weight while maintaining an overweight stance on A‑shares, raising its 12‑month target for the CSI 300 index to 5,500 (about a 12% upside from the latest close). Although it still foresees roughly an 11% gain for the MSCI China index, the firm notes that mainland stocks have outperformed Hong Kong’s Hang Seng, especially in tech, where the Hang Seng Tech index is down more than 5.5% YTD versus a 25% rise in the Nasdaq‑style ChiNext. Goldman attributes the divergence to Beijing’s AI policy, which prioritises hardware development; AI hardware has contributed 85% of the $3.8 trillion Chinese AI equity market gain since early 2025, and Chinese AI stocks remain lightly held by international investors. Hard‑tech companies are delivering strong revenue and profit growth, while large‑scale internet firms continue to lag, and upcoming chip and humanoid‑robot IPOs are slated for mainland exchanges rather than Hong Kong.
