The End of Hong Kong’s “Zero IPO Break” Myth: The IPO Market Is Starting to Diverge in 2026
👋 Hi Tigers,
A noticeable change has recently appeared in the Hong Kong IPO market. The myth of “zero IPO break” has finally been broken.
For a while, many investors followed a simple strategy: Subscribe to any IPO, and you would likely make money.
However, a symbolic event occurred on March 11: Several Hong Kong IPOs experienced first-day price drops.
This may signal that: Hong Kong IPO investing is entering a “selective era.”
Today, let’s take a look at the latest IPO opportunities.

2. 📉 What Is Happening in the Hong Kong IPO Market?
2026 Hong Kong IPO statistics:
-
27 IPOs listed so far this year
-
23 rose on their first trading day
-
Success rate: about 85%
-
2 experienced first-day declines
Overall success rates remain relatively high.
But market divergence is becoming clear.
3. Why Was the “Zero Break” Myth Broken?
There are likely three reasons.
1️⃣ Risk appetite is declining
Recently, global markets have shown higher volatility:
-
U.S. stock market pullbacks
-
Increased macro uncertainty
Investors are becoming more cautious.
2️⃣ IPO valuations are normalizing
Some companies were priced too aggressively.
The market is no longer blindly accepting those valuations.
This is actually a normal phenomenon in mature markets.
3️⃣ Liquidity in Hong Kong stocks is declining
Trading volumes in Hong Kong have shrunk noticeably.
Lower liquidity means:
Less buying power to support new listings.
4. 🧠 New IPO Strategy
If the market enters a selective phase, investors should focus on four indicators:
✅ Valuation Is the company’s PE/PB lower than the industry average?
✅ Underwriter background The historical performance of the underwriter matters.
✅ Cornerstone investors Are there well-known institutional investors supporting the IPO?
✅ Grey market performance
Many investors on Tiger Community refer to grey market trading before IPO listing.
5. 🎓 Investor Education
What should you do if an IPO breaks below its issue price?
Many investors panic when they encounter an IPO break for the first time.
But generally, there are three scenarios.
Scenario 1: Price drop + very large trading volume
This may indicate heavy distribution by early investors. Consider cutting losses.
Scenario 2: Price drop + very low trading volume
This could simply be short-term volatility. You may observe the stock for 1–2 days.
The key rule:
Always set a stop-loss in advance.
