HKEX (00388.HK) will announce its 1Q24 results next Wednesday (24th). HKEX's average daily turnover (ADT) in 1Q was $99.4 billion, down over 21% YoY. The results are expected to be dragged by the decline in ADT of Hong Kong stocks and net investment income, as well as a high cost-to-income ratio. Investors are concerned about HKEX management's guidance on operations and future strategies, including ways to increase Hong Kong's stock trading volume and control operating costs.
