HSBC Research: Stock selection in the Year of the Horse focuses on five key themes, recommending buys in CIMC Enric, GCL Technology, Cheung Kong Infrastructure, and others.

HSBC Research issued a report stating that the market in this Year of the Horse will focus on five key themes, including solar and hydrogen energy, the 15th Five-Year Plan, power grids, and green fuels.
