HKEX (ISIN HK0388045442) traded at EUR 42.78 at Lang & Schwarz on October 12, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. CEST. Volume was 1,787,694 shares against an average of 3,428,236 shares, leaving activity 47.86 percent below average.
Price and volume set the frame
The euro quotation gives German investors a direct market reference while the Hong Kong listing remains the companys primary trading venue. The bid was EUR 42.60 and the ask EUR 42.96 at the same Lang & Schwarz timestamp.
On the home market, HKEX last stood at HKD 375.40 on October 12, 2026, while its 52-week range was HKD 360.00 to HKD 444.80. The current level was 3.20 percent above the 52-week low and 15.61 percent below the high.
Revenue growth meets a softer outlook
HKEX reported revenue and other income of HKD 16.70 billion for the first half of 2026, up 19.00 percent from the first half of 2025. Profit attributable to shareholders reached HKD 10.60 billion, an increase of 24.00 percent, while basic earnings per share rose 24.00 percent to HKD 8.36.
The operating picture is therefore mixed in a measurable way: first-half revenue and profit expanded at double-digit rates, but Goldman Sachs expects third-quarter earnings per share of HKD 3.76, down 3.00 percent year over year. The forecast reflects softer trading activity and lower investment income.
Target cut before November results
According to Sina Finance on October 12, 2026, Goldman Sachs reduced its target for HKEX from HKD 532.00 to HKD 523.00, a 1.69 percent cut, while retaining a Buy rating. Against the HKD 375.40 home-market price, the new target was 39.31 percent higher.
HKEX has scheduled its third-quarter 2026 results announcement for November 6, 2026, according to HKEX Investor Relations. That date gives the market a clear checkpoint for trading activity, investment income and the effect of lower turnover.
Comparison with peers
HKEX (HKEX, HKD): P/E 24.0, market capitalization HKD 474.5 billion

Deutsche Börse (Xetra, EUR): plus 1.45 percent, P/E 25.8, market capitalization EUR 54.1 billion
What the next figure must answer
The November report will test whether HKEX can extend the first-half combination of 19.00 percent revenue growth and 24.00 percent profit growth while trading conditions soften. Until then, the key market variables are volume, investment income and the distance between the HKD 375.40 share price and the HKD 523.00 Goldman Sachs target.
