SpaceX slump fails to dent Hong Kong tech as investors seen pivoting

The News

Analysts say a sharp pullback in SpaceX and valuation pressure on US tech giants are unlikely to cause a major sell-off in Hong Kong equities. Hong Kong tech firms have distinct business models and lower valuations than their US counterparts, according to analysts. Kenny Tang Sing-hing, chairman of the Hong Kong Institute of Financial Analysts and Professional Commentators, expressed confidence that the impact on Hong Kong would be minimal. This suggests a decoupling between US tech market turbulence and Hong Kong tech stocks.
