Xiong Liping: Bullish on the robotics sector, with gold prices still supported.
Which stocks may soar in 2025? Do robotics stocks still have potential? Can gold prices surge to $5,000? In this episode of #Bull's-Eye, independent stock commentator Conita Hung Lai Ping analyzes these topics in depth for you!
This episode explores the recent "soaring stocks" that have performed exceptionally well in the Hong Kong stock market, analyzing their common characteristics and looking ahead to potential investment themes.
Characteristics and Case Studies of Soaring Stocks
Conita pointed out in the program that stocks with astonishing recent gains, such as those in the "new consumption" category, represent a new consumer trend.$POP MART(09992.HK)$ and$LAOPU GOLD(06181.HK)$ . These stocks emphasize fulfilling psychological needs rather than traditional basic consumption like clothing, food, housing, and transportation. They typically exhibit the following characteristics:
– Innovative industries where the market is gradually understanding their business models
– Recently listed, with fewer options available
– Non-essential consumer goods focused on personal enjoyment
How to identify the next investment opportunity?
Conita suggests focusing on thematic investments, highlighting 'robotics' and 'pharmaceutical stocks' as two key areas. Robotics stocks are considered to still have potential, especially as related companies list in Hong Kong, which may drive a new wave of market activity. Specific stock recommendations include:
1. $UBTECH ROBOTICS(09880.HK)$: Although currently still incurring losses, revenue is expected to grow to 1.9 billion yuan in 2025 and further increase to 3.1 billion yuan in 2026, with commercialization progress being a critical point of observation.
2. $MIDEA GROUP(00300.HK)$: By acquiring overseas robotics companies to establish a presence in this field, the market valuation has yet to fully reflect the potential of this business, and the stock price is expected to break through 100 yuan.
Conita also emphasized the importance of skillfully using risk hedging and derivative tools:
Based on$BABA-W(09988.HK)$For example, when holding shares in this company, how can one use options strategies to hedge stockholding risks? A long put may be a good approach. For instance, when the share price reaches 150 yuan, one can reduce downside risk by purchasing a Put option, but it is necessary to choose the appropriate timing based on personal judgment of stock price trends.
Analysis of other investment tools
1. Silver bonds: Although the guaranteed interest rate of 3.85% is slightly lower than in previous years, the three-year yield remains attractive in a rate-cutting cycle and helps diversify investment risks.
2. Gold: The rise in gold prices to new highs has been driven by a weak US dollar, inflation concerns, and increased purchases by central banks. It is recommended to allocate gold to balance portfolio risks.
