Data shows that the difficulty of winning the lottery in Hong Kong stocks this year has indeed increased compared with last year. Among the 27 new stocks, excluding Zhaogang Group, which went public through a backdoor SPAC, the first-hand winning rate of 9 new stocks was 10% or less. Against this background, the special IPO structure of CATL's Hong Kong IPO has also triggered a round of discussions about "retail investors losing their rights." In Hong Kong stocks, due to the existence of a call-back mechanism, popular new stocks usually tilt to a certain extent towards retail investors in order to increase the allocation rate of retail investors. However, this time CATL applied to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange for an exemption from the call-back mechanism to ensure that the retail subscription portion is fixed at 7.5%, while institutional investors have eaten more than 90% of the "cake." It should be noted that CATL's decision is not an isolated case. The Hong Kong Stock Exchange is systematically reducing the influence of retail investors in the new stock issuance process. In February this year, when interpreting the proposal for reform of the pricing of new shares in Hong Kong stocks, HKEX Group Chief Executive Officer Paul Chan mentioned that increasing the proportion of new shares allocated to the book-building allotment part is to allow buyers and sellers with the most bargaining power to fully bargain, so that the price of new shares can reflect market demand to the greatest extent, minimize price fluctuations after new shares are listed, and avoid large fluctuations in stock prices.
