While several of the H-share stocks have experienced price declines on the day of the report, Citi continues to recommend these names based on their long-term potential and valuation targets. Notably, Tencent, AIA, and Hengrui Pharma remain at the forefront of investor interest, reinforced by relatively high target prices compared to current market values.
Short selling ratios vary widely among the picks, with MMG Limited showing the highest short selling ratio at over 36%, indicating significant market hedging or bearish sentiment despite Citi’s buy recommendation. Such data underscores the diverse views across market participants and the complexity surrounding these stocks.

Citi’s inclusion of Trip.com Group (TCOM) with a target price of USD 82 further showcases the research firm’s positive stance on select US-listed China concept stocks. Other notable picks such as Montage Technology and ASM Pacific Technology reflect ongoing confidence in the technology and semiconductor sectors.
