HKEX posts record quarterly profit, topping forecast as listings and turnover surge

Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing (HKEX), the operator of Asia's third-largest stock market, announced a record quarterly profit for the first three months of 2026. The company reported a net profit of HK$5.19 billion (approximately US$662 million), marking a 27 percent increase from the same period last year. This figure, which translates to HK$4.10 per share, surpassed analysts' expectations of HK$4.6 billion. The surge in profit was attributed to a rise in new listings and increased trading activity, contributing to the highest quarterly profit in HKEX's history, exceeding the previous record of HK$4.9 billion set in the third quarter of 2021. The announcement was made on Wednesday, highlighting the robust performance of the exchange amid a dynamic market environment.
