Hong Kong Single Stock Options Weekly (July 07–11): Financials in Focus as Call Volumes Rise

By John Ley

  • Sentiment improved modestly, though breadth remains well below recent highs in a subdued price action.
  • Option activity climbed steadily, with strong Friday Call demand pushing the Put/Call ratio to lower bound.
  • Financials stood out across price action, volatility, and options activity.

Last Week In Event SPACE: Meituan/Prosus, China Medical System, Japanese Banks, New World Dev.

By David Blennerhassett

  • The benefits of China Medical System (867 HK) China Medical System (867 HK)’s secondary listing on the SGX are more apparent than real. 
  • Should Meituan (3690 HK) continue its Brazil market launch, Prosus NV (PRX NA) will have little reason to continue to hold on to its Meituan stake.
  • Look for value to be realised for Japanese banks with low PBRs and PERs, AND high cross-holdings as a percentage of market cap or book value through better capital allocation.
