Goldman Sachs: Chinese equities show 'rotation signals,' with A-share hard-tech stocks still favored and H-share internet firms seeing earnings recovery.
Goldman Sachs’ latest China strategy maintains its tactical preference for A-shares over H-shares and hard tech over soft tech, but has started paying attention to the recovery potential of large-cap H-share internet stocks following their valuation adjustments. The key to sustained H-share rebounds lies not in valuations but in earnings: losses from internet subsidies and AI-related capital expenditures continue to weigh on profits. China’s AI sector as a whole is not viewed as a bubble, though signs of localized overheating have emerged in semiconductors and certain A-share hard tech segments.
TENCENT(700HK):SOLID CORE BUSINESS GROWTH; INVESTING TO ACCELERATE AI DEVELOPMENT
Watch for potential consolidation in the Hang Seng Index's upward momentum; guard against bubble burst risks in semiconductor stocks.
Since the start of July, the Hang Seng Index has posted a solid performance over seven trading days, rising on five of them and gaining nearly 1,300 points cumulatively during this period, closing at 24,175 points last Friday. It has now closed above the 24,000 mark for three consecutive sessions, which should reasonably be viewed as having stabilized around the 24,000 level; however, given that it remains less than 300 points above this threshold, further observation is warranted to confirm stabilization. Following a decline of over 2,300 points in June, the index has rebounded by nearly 1,300 points, recovering approximately 55% of its losses—a recovery exceeding the halfway mark, indicating a healthy rebound process. Nevertheless, against the backdrop of a year-to-date (first half of 2026) cumulative loss of nearly 2,750 points, the recovery remains incomplete.
