XPENG's stock surged 8.61% in intraday trading on Wednesday, outperforming the broader market. The rally came as Hong Kong announced plans to establish a dedicated "technology enterprises channel" on its stock exchange to expedite listings of specialist tech firms, particularly those already public in mainland China.
Hong Kong's latest move aims to boost its attractiveness as a fundraising hub and capitalize on the growing appetite of Chinese tech giants to raise funds offshore. Regulators have urged banks to identify bottlenecks and speed up the listing process for these companies.
Additionally, in its 2025-26 budget release, Hong Kong outlined plans for a major push into artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics industries. The government pledged HK$1 billion to set up an AI Research and Development Institute, aligning with China's strategic focus on these high-tech sectors.
