5 d. ago FWD Group shares start trading unchanged in Hong Kong market

FWD Group made a flat trading debut in the Hong Kong stock market, as the insurer’s four-year listing journey from New York back to its hometown failed to resonate with investors, even as it built an Asia-wide group across 10 markets. Trading under the stock code 1828, FWD’s shares began trading at HK$38.00, unchanged from its offered price during its initial public offering (IPO), which raised HK$3.47 billion (US$442 million) last week. The IPO of the insurer founded by Hong Kong billionaire...

A surge in the supply of Laopu Gold shares after the end of a lock-up period turned out to be a buying opportunity for investors who missed out on the luxury jeweller’s 14-fold surge since its 2024 debut. The Beijing-based company’s shares jumped 15 per cent to a record of HK$1,008 on Monday, bucking concerns of a pullback after 69 million shares – a 40 per cent stake – became free-floating, allowing pre-listing investors including founder Xu Gaoming to sell without restrictions a year after the...

Divergences and idiosyncrasies are an important part of Asia’s real estate landscape. Whether it is the stark contrast between Seoul’s remarkably resilient office market and its ailing counterpart in Hong Kong or the big difference between Japan’s mature and institutionalised rental housing market and its nascent peers elsewhere in the region, Asia’s property sector is far from homogeneous.
