南向资金涌入：港股市场迎来新里程碑

今年以来，南向资金持续流入港股，开启“买买买”模式，年初至今已超过3000亿港元。数据显示，自开通以来，南向资金累计净买入额首次突破4万亿港元大关。

统计显示，从今年1月1日至3月7日，南向资金净买入额高达3139.24亿港元，较去年同期增长4.6倍。自开通以来至3月7日，南向资金累计净流入港股市场突破4万亿港元，达到40117.16亿港元。

科技股行情火热，南向资金加速流入

龙年春节开市后，DeepSeek、人形机器人等科技股表现突出，A股和港股市场掀起科技热潮，南向资金加速涌入港股。截至3月7日，香港恒生指数报24231.30点，年内上涨20.79%；恒生科技指数报6037.44点，年内上涨35.12%；恒生国企指数报8914.03点，年内上涨22.28%。南向资金不断增仓港股，成为今年港股市场上涨的主要推动力。

一位资深全球宏观基金经理表示：

“原先更倾向于认为恒生科技股将在调整后继续涨，但如今直接起飞，原因还是踏空资金太多了，加之原先流向美股的资金开始流向‘估值洼地’港股。近期仍是典型的贝塔行情。”

资金流向：增持与减持并存

今年1月1日至今，南向资金净买入前十名股票分别为阿里巴巴、腾讯控股、中芯国际、中国移动、快手-W、小米集团-W、理想汽车-W、比亚迪股份、阿里健康，净买入金额介于623亿港元至14.7亿港元之间。其中，阿里巴巴、腾讯控股、中芯国际净买入额分别达623亿港元、448亿港元、164亿港元。

与此同时，南向资金也在减持部分股票。今年1月1日至今，南向资金净卖出前十名股票分别为美团-W、中国海洋石油、汇丰控股、恒生中国企业、盈富基金、南方恒生科技、舜宇光学科技、信达生物、安踏体育、万科企业、晶泰控股-P，净卖出金额介于30.73亿港元至0.49亿港元之间，其中，净卖出前三名卖出额均超8亿港元。

持股比例：部分个股南向资金占比高

截至3月7日，南向资金持股比例超过10%的个股有385只，超过30%的个股有116只，超过50%的个股有29只。其中，持股比例前三名分别为中国电信、凯盛新能、马可数字科技，持股比例均超过60%。南向资金持股比例最高的是中国电信，最新持股占港股已发行股份的72.74%。

今年以来，南向资金增持比例超过5%的个股有24只，超过7%的个股有15只，超过10%的个股有7只。南向资金增持比例前三名个股分别为黑芝麻智能、优必选、速腾聚创，增持比例分别为19.30%、17.96%、14.37%。

从增持股数来看，今年以来，共有51只港股被南向资金增持超过1亿股，23只港股被增持超过2亿股，6只港股被增持超过5亿股。其中，中国银行、工商银行、农业银行被增持股数位居前三名，增持股份数量介于24.76亿股至12.15亿股之间。

行业偏好：银行、传媒、电子等行业受青睐

从行业分布来看，近3个月，南向资金净流入五大行业分别为银行、传媒、电子、医药生物、通信，净流入额分别为702.45亿港元、538.63亿港元、329.46亿港元、216.72亿港元、185.43亿港元。互联网巨头、中资龙头蓝筹是南向资金加仓首选，其中阿里巴巴、快手-W、四大国有银行、三大运营商等净买入额居前。

后市展望：科技创新与消费成关注焦点

展望港股后市，首席中国股票策略师表示，全国人大会议强调科技创新和消费的信号令人鼓舞，有助于维持市场的上升势头，仍然看好海外中资股。

“外资对中国互联网巨头的持仓比例一般是10%左右，如今仍是较为低配的情况，因此对于南下资金流入港股实则是喜闻乐见的事，因为这些资金更不容易受到外部变化的扰动。”

投资总监指出：

“港股市场年内涨幅牛冠全球，市场赚钱效应显著提升。”

他认为，当前港股估值仍处于历史低位，但由于港股1月中旬以来累计涨幅过大，短期港股可能会以震荡整固为主，待消化市场获利浮筹后再度回升，投资者可关注板块轮动的结构性机会，包括互联网龙头公司、AI产业链个股、高股息优质标的等。

国际首席经济学家认为，DeepSeek在AI领域的突破成为港股上涨的主要推动引擎，国内企业正展开新一轮AI资本开支周期。考虑到目前外资对港股的配置比例不高，而港股相对海外主要股指估值仍有较高折价，港股仍然具有较高吸引力。行业配置上关注三条主线：一是互联网龙头股；二是受益于政策支持、景气度回升的内需行业，如电子、汽车等行业；三是盈利稳定的高分红行业，如金融、电信等行业。

tech Stock Rally Fuels Southbound Capital Inflow

Southbound Capital’s continuous increase in holdings⁣ of Hong Kong ‍stocks has become a major driving force behind the‍ Hong Kong stock⁣ market’s rise this year.

According⁢ to a seasoned‌ global macro fund manager:

“Previously, there was a greater inclination to ⁤believe that ‌Hang ‍Seng tech stocks would continue to ​rise after a‌ correction, but now‌ they are directly taking off.The reason is that there is ⁢too⁤ much capital on the sidelines. Additionally, capital that previously⁢ flowed to US stocks is now flowing to the ​’valuation洼地’ Hong ⁣Kong stocks. It is still a typical ‘贝塔’ market.”

The top three stocks with net selling saw outflows exceeding HK$800 million.

As of March​ 7, there⁤ are 385 individual stocks ⁤in which southbound ⁢Capital’s⁣ holding ratio exceeds 10%, 116 individual stocks in which it exceeds 30%, and 29 individual stocks​ in which it exceeds⁢ 50%.

Among them,Bank of ‍China,ICBC,and Agricultural Bank of China rank among ‌the top three in terms of the ⁢number of shares increased,with the number of shares increased ranging from ⁤2.476 billion to 1.215 billion.

Industry Preferences: Banking,‍ Media, and Electronics Favored

In the ⁤past three months, the top five industries with net inflows from Southbound Capital are‌ banking, media, electronics,‍ healthcare, and telecommunications, with net‌ inflow amounts of HK$70.245⁣ billion, HK$53.863 billion, HK$32.946 billion, HK$21.672 billion, and HK$18.543 ⁢billion, ‍respectively. Internet giants and Chinese leading​ blue-chip stocks are the preferred choices for Southbound Capital’s ​increased holdings, with Alibaba, Kuaishou-W, the ⁣four major state-owned banks, ⁢and the three major ‍operators seeing the highest net buying amounts.

Market ⁤Outlook: Tech Innovation ⁢and Consumption in Focus

Looking ahead to the Hong Kong stock market, the chief China equity strategist‌ at 首域中国股票策略表示, the signals emphasizing technological innovation and⁤ consumption at‍ the National people’s Congress are encouraging and help maintain‍ the market’s upward momentum. ⁢They remain optimistic about offshore Chinese ⁤stocks.

“Foreign capital’s holdings of Chinese ⁤internet‍ giants generally account ‌for about 10%, which is ‌still a relatively low allocation. Thus, the inflow ​of Southbound Capital​ into Hong ⁣Kong stocks‍ is‌ a welcome development, ⁤as these funds⁢ are less susceptible to external changes.”

an investment director pointed out:

“the Hong Kong stock market has been the best-performing⁤ globally this year, with the market’s wealth⁤ effect considerably improved.”

They believe that the current valuation of Hong Kong stocks is still at ​a ‌historical‌ low. Though, due to‍ the large cumulative increase ⁤in‌ Hong kong stocks as mid-January, Hong kong stocks may consolidate in the short​ term to digest market profit-taking before⁣ rising ⁤again. Investors can ‌pay attention⁢ to the structural opportunities of sector rotation, including internet leaders, AI industrial ⁤chain stocks, and high-dividend quality targets.

An International leading economist​ believes that DeepSeek’s breakthroughs are‌ driving growth⁣ primarily by boosting the Hong Kong⁣ stock market‍ as local companies in China begin a new‌ AI⁣ era. Given the current low allocation to Hong Kong ‌equities among external investors and significant price differences with high discounts,‌ it is likely the local markets will continue to attract. Investors should pay attention to three key points: Invest in internet leaders, focus on‍ domestic ⁣demand industries being supported or expected to grow in the near ‍future, and stabilize stocks which are paying large dividends as this creates a higher attraction ⁤for investors in the markets.
