VGT (02476.HK) surged over 4 percent on Monday after the Shenzhen Stock Exchange announced its inclusion in the southbound channel of the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect, effective May 18.
The inclusion was confirmed in an official announcement by the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. The move makes the company's shares accessible to a vast pool of mainland Chinese investors for the first time.
Eligibility was granted after VGT met two key conditions: the end of its post-listing price stabilization period in the Hong Kong market and its corresponding A-share listing having completed 10 full trading days.
The inclusion in the Stock Connect program is a significant catalyst for VGT's valuation. It is expected to drive substantial investor demand from mainland China, leading to higher trading volumes, improved liquidity, and potential upward pressure on the stock price.
