2021 full year ADT has grown 29% year-over-year compared with 2020. Trading activities in December continued to slowdown to year-end given the relative weak market sentiment and policy uncertainty.
We expect HKEX (388 HK) upcoming quarterly earning release (on Feb. 24) will be muted and estimate its 4Q21 revenue and profit will decline 3% and 7% year-over-year respectively.
However, we remain bullish on HKEX (388 HK) with the view that China economy will likely rebound in 2022, which will drive the rebound of IPO activities and trading volume.
