HKEX is renowned for its strategic initiatives to enhance market connectivity and liquidity, particularly through its Stock Connect programs linking Hong Kong and Mainland China markets.
In its latest earnings report for the nine months ending September 30, 2025, HKEX achieved record financial results, driven by robust trading volumes in its Cash Market and Stock Connect programs. The company reported a 37% increase in revenue and other income compared to the same period in 2024, reaching HKD 21.9 billion, while profit attributable to shareholders surged by 45% to HKD 13.4 billion.
Key financial highlights include a 41% rise in core business revenue, primarily due to increased trading and clearing fees from record Cash Market volumes.
