Under base case, Hong Kong stocks' earnings growth in 2026 will be 3% (vs 6% in 2025, and current market expectation 9-10%), with non-financial growth at 6-7% (vs 8% in 2025), and financials expected to have zero growth, according to CICC calculations. Thus, there is limited room at the market index level, with room stemming from economic structure or unexpected retreats.

Considering earnings, risk-free rates, and risk premiums, the broker estimated the HSI's 2026 midpoint at 28,000-29,000, under base case. For bull case, it is around 31,000, and bear case, near 21,000.
