🇭🇰 HKEX Hang Seng Stock Screener — HK Quotes & Fundamentals

Track every stock on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEX) and the Hang Seng Index (HSI) — with prices in HKD, market cap, P/E, P/B, dividend yield, sector, and the full fundamental stack. The Bloomberg Terminal alternative for HK equities, priced for indie quants, Asia-focused hedge funds, and family offices that don't want to write a check to Refinitiv.

Hong Kong remains one of the most strategically important financial markets in the world. It is the bridge into mainland Chinese tech via the dual-primary listings of Tencent (0700), Alibaba (9988), JD.com (9618), Meituan (3690), Xiaomi (1810), and Baidu (9888); it is the home of the four big Chinese state banks (1398, 1288, 0939, 3988); and the Hang Seng Index itself remains the single most-watched gauge of risk appetite into Greater China. Yet for indie analysts and emerging-market hedge funds, getting clean HK equity data is surprisingly painful. Yahoo Finance throttles .HK symbols aggressively. HKEX's own data portal is JS-heavy and only ships PDFs and Excel files. AAStocks is fine for one-off lookups but isn't built for batch screening. And Bloomberg Terminal will charge you USD $24,000/year minimum for the same data this actor surfaces in seconds.

This actor closes that gap. It returns a clean, sorted, JSON-native screener over the full HKEX top-500 by market cap, with an optional fundamental enrichment layer (PE, dividend yield, beta, 52-week range, sector). Filter by HSI (Hang Seng Index constituents only — the ~85 blue-chip names) or HKEX-all (entire main-board top-500), then narrow further by sector keyword and minimum market cap in HKD.

📊 Real-world use cases

• Asia hedge-fund daily refresh — schedule the actor for the post-close HK time (16:00 HKT = 08:00 UTC) and pipe the dataset into your warehouse alongside Eastmoney, KOSPI, and TWSE screens for a complete pan-Asia data layer.
• HSI-vs-CSI300 relative-value screens — pair this actor with the Eastmoney Chinese A-Share Screener to track dual-listed H-share / A-share spreads (Tencent doesn't have A-shares, but most of the big banks and insurers do — and the H/A discount is one of the most-traded signals in the region).
• High-dividend Asia ETF construction — filter to dividend_yield_pct >= 5 to find HSBC, ICBC, Bank of China, CCB, China Mobile, and the rest of HK's classic yield names; rebalance quarterly with the screener as your data feed.
• Cross-border Greater China factor models — pull HSI plus the TWSE Stock Screener and KOSPI Stock Screener to build factor models on the full Greater-China-plus-Korea universe.
• Chinese tech basket monitoring — track Tencent, Alibaba, JD, Meituan, Xiaomi, Baidu, Kuaishou, NetEase, Bilibili, Trip.com, and Li Auto in one screen via the HKEX listing channel.
• Risk-off regime detection — monitor HSI subindex weighting shifts; when Finance + Properties as a % of HSI market cap drops below trend, that's classic Greater-China derisking.
• Family-office portfolio analytics — drop this dataset into Snowflake/BigQuery and build position-level P/E, dividend yield, and beta dashboards across your HK equity book.
• Academic research — Hong Kong is a heavily-studied market in finance research (cross-listing premiums, Stock Connect flows, foreign-ownership dynamics). This actor gives reproducible market snapshots without scraping headaches.
• Macro dashboards — combine HSI movers with FX (HKD/CNH, USD/HKD peg dynamics) for a complete Greater China dashboard.

💰 Pricing

This actor uses pay-per-event pricing — you only pay for what you actually pull.

• Actor start: $0.01 per run
• Stock record: $0.25 per stock returned

A full HSI snapshot (~85 names) with fundamentals costs about $21.25. A 50-stock blue-chip screen costs $12.51. Compare to:

• Bloomberg Terminal — $24,000/year minimum, plus per-seat fees
• Refinitiv (LSEG) Eikon — $22,000+/year
• FactSet — $12,000+/year per user
• S&P Capital IQ — $13,000+/year per user

If you're a hedge-fund analyst running HK screens once a day, this actor pays back the entire annual data-vendor budget on day one. The pricing reflects the institutional buyer pool — this isn't a toy retail tool; it's a Bloomberg replacement for funds that don't have Bloomberg seats for their Asia analysts.

🤔 FAQ

Q: Is the data real-time? The source (stockanalysis.com) lags the live HKEX tape by 15–20 minutes during market hours (HKT 09:30–16:00). After-hours, it shows the closing snapshot. This is identical to the delay you'd get on Yahoo Finance or Google Finance — sufficient for end-of-day rebalancing, factor research, screening, and dashboards. For sub-second tick data you need a paid HKEX licensee.

Q: Why stockanalysis.com vs scraping HKEX directly? HKEX's own portal is heavily JavaScript-rendered and ships data through paginated XHR calls with anti-bot protections. Stockanalysis.com mirrors the full HKEX universe in clean server-rendered HTML — which is dramatically more reliable to scrape from cloud IPs. We also link out to the HKEX page in every record so you can verify any data point against the source.

Q: What about southbound Stock Connect flows? Stock Connect daily flows are not in this dataset (HKEX publishes them via separate PDFs). If you need southbound flow data, file a feature request and we'll add a companion actor.

Q: Can I get historical data? This actor returns the current snapshot. For historical price series, pair it with the Yahoo Finance Scraper using the yahoo_symbol field (e.g. 0700.HK).

Q: How are HK ticker codes formatted? HKEX tickers are 4 or 5 digits, zero-padded. 0700 is Tencent, 0005 is HSBC, 1398 is ICBC, 9988 is Alibaba. We always emit them zero-padded to 4+ digits for consistency. The Yahoo Finance equivalent is {symbol}.HK.

Q: Is HSBC (0005) the same as the NYSE HSBC ADR? The HK 0005 listing and the NYSE HSBC ADR represent the same company but trade in separate venues with different prices, liquidities, and tax treatments. This actor returns the HK primary listing only.

Q: Can I use this commercially? The data is aggregated from public sources (stockanalysis.com aggregates from HKEX's own free public feeds). You own the output dataset. For redistribution as a paid product or syndication, consult HKEX's market-data terms and consider licensing direct from HKEX Information Services.

Q: Is this maintained? Yes — NexGenData maintains 140+ Apify actors covering scraping, enrichment, MCP servers, and data automation. We ship fixes within 24 hours of bug reports. File issues via the Apify console's Issues tab on this actor's page.

Q: Why pay for this when I could scrape HKEX myself? You could! But you'd spend a weekend wrestling with stockanalysis.com's table HTML structure (which changes every few months), handling the Hang Seng Index constituent join (we pull it from Wikipedia), normalizing HKD market caps from abbreviated 4.25T → 4,250,000,000,000, parsing detail pages for PE/dividend/beta, setting up residential proxies for clean IP rotation, and writing the rate-limit retry logic. Or you can pay a fraction of a Bloomberg seat-fee and get clean JSON in 15 seconds.
