There are generally four functions of repurchase. First, through the share repurchase, it is optimistic about the company's future development signals to the market and investors, which plays the role of a "stabilizer" and even a "booster".

Huto, the manager of Rongzhi Investment Fund, a subsidiary of Pai Lai.com, told a reporter from the 21st Century Business Herald that the repurchase of Hong Kong stocks this year has reached a record high. There are two main reasons. On the one hand, the overall Hong Kong stocks are in an extremely underestimated state. Including the Hang Seng Index is also at a historic low, so industrial capital began to actively participate in the repurchase of listed companies, because at the current location, the company has high investment value and return on investment. On the other hand, the phenomenon of recent investment in investment capital is relatively obvious, so that listed companies have a very motivation to maintain the stock price of listed companies through repurchase. The repurchase has a very positive significance for listed companies to maintain the stock price. However, due to the global interest rate hike period, under the expected global economic recession, Hong Kong stocks may still linger at the bottom for a while.

However, Hubo also emphasized that if this low -level listed company can maintain the dividend rate and achieve income through dividends, Hong Kong stocks still have positive allocation value.
