Overseas expansion and a commodity boom have positioned Chinese companies trading on the mainland to beat their offshore-listed peers in earnings. This development cements the outperformance of yuan-denominated stocks since the outbreak of Middle East hostility. The 300 largest mainland-traded companies may post average 2025 profit growth of 6.3 per cent during the coming earnings season. In contrast, the growth rate for the firms in the Hong Kong exchange’s benchmark Hang Seng Index (a stock market index tracking major companies listed in Hong Kong) would be a mere 2 per cent.
- Mainland Chinese investors see higher returns from A-shares, enabling greater retirement savings growth compared to Hang Seng holdings.
- Employees at successful go-global firms gain job security and bonuses from 6.3% profit rises, unlike slower growth at HK-listed peers.
- Hong Kong retail investors face diminished portfolio gains at 2% growth, prompting shifts to mainland markets or reduced spending.
