If profits are realized, related stocks may even see a situation where the stock price rises while the valuation decreases. Overall, institutional personnel indicate that in the short term, there is a risk of volatility and correction for some Hong Kong stocks that have risen significantly earlier. However, in the medium to long term, the logic of re-evaluating Chinese technology assets has not changed, and they remain optimistic about the unfolding of value re-evaluation trends.
