Thirteen Hong Kong-listed companies reported first-half 2026 earnings, with most posting profit growth; standouts include Luokui Gold (+83.6%), Zhong'an Online (+132.18%), and Huaqin Technology (+59%), while Tencent denied the accuracy of a report on AI restructuring within its IEG unit.
Broad profit growth across sectors — gold, insurtech, and electronics manufacturing — points to a stronger first half for Hong Kong-listed names. Tencent's public rebuttal of the IEG AI restructuring report removes one source of uncertainty around its gaming and AI strategy.
