Charts of the Day: Hong Kong Reclaims Its IPO Mojo

Chinese mainland companies propelled a strong recovery in Hong Kong’s IPO market this year, putting the city on track to regain the world’s top IPO spot, according to a new report by Ernst & Young LLP.

Mainland companies accounted for all of Hong Kong’s top 10 IPOs as of Nov. 26, according to the Nov. 27 report. Together, they brought in HK$154.7 billion ($19.9 billion), more than 50% of all capital raised this year in the city. Eight of the companies raised more than HK$10 billion, compared with just one such deal in 2024.
