The Hong Kong stock market may embrace a new reflation cycle, primarily driven by the booming financial sector, compounded with declining interest rates and a weakening US dollar, UBS said in its research report. With the sustained growth of Hong Kong's financial industry, stocks such as HKEX (00388.HK), brokers, insurers, and banks will directly benefit from elevating market turnover and growing demand for asset and wealth management products. Meanwhile, better leasing demand in the office market was also anticipated, which will be boon to landlords.

UBS set a target of 12,300 for the MSCI Hong Kong Index (USD-denominated) by the end of 2026, based on 15x forward P/E and 9% p.a. EPS growth in 2026E/27E.
