The reshuffle is closely watched as a sign of which listed companies have excelled across key metrics, such as market capitalization and turnover. Inclusion can also attract investments from index-tracking funds.
While the Hang Seng Index is up around 3.7 percent in 2026, building on last year’s 28 percent gain, it’s slipped from a high reached at the end of January.
