Tech stocks were in favor as foreign investors continued to pour capital into leading service providers and platform operators.
Global bargain hunters increased exposure to Chinese stocks as investors rooted for faster earnings growth in 2026 amid persistent push by Chinese policymakers to support the development of renewable energy, robotics, and electric vehicles.
Chinese tech companies are trading at a significant discount to their peers in the U.S. and Europe, reflecting tighter operating margins and slimmer net income.
