There is a price difference with Hong Kong stocks, and there is a break risk?

  China Mobile's return to A has always received strong attention from investors.

  Gao Yuyang, chief analyst of the TMT communications industry at Southwest Securities, told Sino-Singapore Jingwei that China Mobile's return to A is a milestone event in the communications sector, which has a certain boost to the entire sector.

This time, new channels for equity financing in the domestic market have been added, and relevant companies in the upstream of the industrial chain will benefit from their operations.

  However, at the end of 2021, investors tend to be more rational and new stocks are breaking more.

On December 27, 2021, China Mobile disclosed an announcement on the results of the initial public offering of shares. The unpaid subscription amount of online investors was 743 million yuan, setting a record for the highest abandonment of A shares.

  At the same time, China Telecom's road back to A is also vivid.

  On August 20, 2021, China Telecom returned to the first day of listing on A. The issuance price of 4.53 yuan per share was flat at the opening and began to rise before midday. It closed up 34.88% on the same day.

Subsequently, China Telecom lowered its limit for two consecutive days and continued its downward trend since then.

As of the close of trading on January 4, the company's stock price was reported to be 4.38 yuan per share, still falling below the issue price.

  It is also worth noting that there is a price difference in China Mobile's AH shares.

As of the close of January 4, China Mobile’s H shares were quoted at HK$48 per share, while the issue price of A shares was 57.58 yuan per share, which is not a small gap.

However, after the trading hours on January 4, China Mobile announced on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange that in view of the completion of the company’s RMB share issuance, the company plans to return to the The purchase authorization is to repurchase Hong Kong stocks on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

The number of repurchased Hong Kong shares does not exceed 2.048 billion Hong Kong shares, which is equivalent to not more than 10% of the total number of Hong Kong shares issued by the company on the day of the 2021 AGM. The Hong Kong shares repurchased will be deemed to be cancelled at the time of the repurchase.

  Gao Yuyang believes that market sentiment is ever-changing, and China Mobile has the possibility of breaking.

However, domestic operators play a more important role in supporting the state-owned economy and supporting the development of related companies in my country's communications industry chain.

In the long run, domestic operators are high-quality core assets, are scarce targets in the investment field, and are profitable and have high dividend rates, making them suitable for long-term investment.
