Stock sits below its yearly high
The home-market price was HKD 371.40 at the October 15, 2026 close. HKEX's 52-week range was HKD 360.00 to HKD 444.80, placing the stock 16.50 percent below its high and 3.17 percent above its low. Year-to-date performance stood at minus 8.39 percent on October 14, 2026.

HKEX price and investor calendar
The combination of a HKD 420.00 UBS target, a November 6 results date and a 16.50 percent distance from the 52-week high leaves trading activity as the central operating variable. The next report should show whether weaker turnover has offset listing and investment income.
