The Hong Kong market has recently seen a notable uptick, with the Hang Seng Index gaining 1.99% amid positive investor sentiment despite weaker-than-expected economic activity in China. This backdrop of cautious optimism sets the stage for identifying promising growth companies with high insider ownership, particularly those expecting significant earnings growth. In such an environment, stocks with strong insider ownership can be appealing as they often indicate confidence from those closest to the company’s operations. Here are three SEHK-listed growth companies that fit this profile and are anticipating up to 31% earnings growth.
