Risk Warning on Trading HK Stocks
Despite Hong Kong's robust legal and regulatory framework, its stock market still faces unique risks and challenges, such as currency fluctuations due to the Hong Kong dollar's peg to the US dollar and the impact of mainland China's policy changes and economic conditions on Hong Kong stocks.
HK Stock Trading Fees and Taxation
Trading costs in the Hong Kong stock market include transaction fees, stamp duty, settlement charges, and currency conversion fees for foreign investors. Additionally, taxes may apply based on local regulations.
HK Non-Essential Consumer Goods Industry
The Hong Kong stock market encompasses non-essential consumption sectors like automotive, education, tourism, catering, and apparel. Of the 643 listed companies, 35% are mainland Chinese, making up 65% of the total market capitalization. Thus, it's heavily influenced by the Chinese economy.
HK Real Estate Industry
In recent years, the real estate and construction sector's share in the Hong Kong stock index has notably decreased. Nevertheless, as of 2022, it retains around 10% market share, covering real estate development, construction engineering, investment, and property management.

Impinj is a mid-cap chip stock that has quietly had a great year in 2024. The stock has returned over 93%, placing it among the top five best returning semiconductor stocks in the United States. Wall Street analysts remain bullish on the stock. The average of the seven price targets from October MarketBeat tracked is $246 per share. That implies an upside in the shares of 40% from their current level.
So, what exactly does Impinj do, and why has the market bid up the value of this company so much in 2024? I will answer that question and share my longer-term view on the opportunity Impinj has.
Impinj: Helping Companies Level-Up Their Tracking Capabilities
Impinj specializes in what it calls “item-visibility solutions." Impinj lets companies track their inventory by embedding small chips on their items. This allows for better inventory management and can help reduce counterfeiting and retail theft. Impinj makes two types of integrated circuits (ICs), another name for a chip or semiconductor. The first are endpoint ICs and the second are reader ICs.
Endpoint ICs are small chips embedded into item packaging. They use Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology to communicate with the reader ICs. The readers send out radio signals that connect to the endpoint ICs. The system relays the unique info in each endpoint IC back to the reader. This allows tracking of the exact location of each embedded item.
The company breaks down revenues based on Endpoint ICs and Systems. Systems include reader ICs and other related hardware and software. The revenue split between the two has consistently been around 75% for Endpoint ICs and 25% for Systems.
Impinj: Growing Revenues and Becoming More Profitable
Impinj has been beating estimates on sales and earnings in 2024. After the Q1 earnings report came out on Apr. 24, shares rose nearly 29% in one day. However, the company’s most recent report resulted in shares dropping 14%. This was despite the company beating on both sales and earnings and raising guidance above expectations.
Revenue grew solidly in Q2 at 19% and was up 46% in Q3. Profitability has also improved strongly. The firm's operating margin was 9% in Q2 and just slightly negative in Q3 after several quarters of being deeply negative.
Overall, the stock seems to be rising on the year based on positive sentiment around the market opportunity available for the product. Impinj appears to have established itself as one of the leaders in this silicon-based item tracking space. Another big firm in this space is Zebra Technologies . However, its business is more diversified and is less focused on attaching RFID enabled technology to every item in a store or warehouse. NXP Semiconductor also competes in the space.
Impinj's Untapped Potential Is Huge
The technology that Impinj is selling certainly warrants excitement. RFID tracking offers many advantages over traditional tracking methods, like barcodes. For example, instead of a barcode scanner needing a direct line of sight with a barcode, a reader IC simply needs to be within 10 meters of an endpoint IC to detect it. Additionally, it can collect information from many endpoint ICs extremely fast, communicating with up to 1,000 of them per second.
The market opportunity for Impinj is massive. Companies need to track trillions of items a year in some way. Every item in a store is tracked using a barcode, and the same is true for every package. The advantages of Impinj’s technology suggest it could take over these use cases. The firm describes its IC endpoints as costing "pennies." That means they are fairly cheap but will never be as cheap as barcodes, which cost next to nothing. RFID tagging likely will not make sense for tracking all products, but there remain massive opportunities for Impinj to expand.
One example is around the European Union’s (EU) new Digital Product Passport legislation. This requires all products sold in the EU to have a digital copy to track them. The goal is to track products through their lifecycle to increase sustainability. In 2027, this regulation will go into effect for textiles. Impinj’s capabilities would make it a perfect fit for retailers to comply with this regulation. That alone represents billions of items that could use Impinj’s endpoint ICs.
Overall, Impinj looks very expensive with a forward price-to-earnings ratio of 68x. But to me, that price makes sense when thinking about the massive market opportunity that this company has.

3 Momentum Anomaly Stocks to Buy as Election Rally Fizzles
The broader U.S. equity markets have witnessed significant volatility over the past few trading days as the post-election rally fizzled due to concerns regarding potential policy shifts under the new administration. The markets were further weighed down by apprehensions about the pace of interest rate cuts as healthy economic growth offered some leeway to go slow on the proposed monetary easing. However, solid earnings from blue-chip technology stocks helped markets recover some lost ground.
With NVIDIA results around the corner, markets remained upbeat as experts anticipate robust demand trends for its Blackwell AI (artificial intelligence) chips. Amid the uncertainty, investors often seek to employ time-tested winning strategies to fetch sustained profits. One of the most successful game plans to beat the blues is to bet on momentum stocks like Doximity, Inc., Impinj, Inc. and Innodata Inc. when value or growth investing fails to generate the desired profits.
This approach primarily tends to follow the adage, “the trend is your friend.” At its core, momentum investing is “buying high and selling higher.” It is based on the idea that once a stock establishes a trend, it is more likely to continue in that direction because of the momentum that is already behind it. Momentum investing is a way to profit from the general human tendency to extrapolate current trends into the future. It is based on that gap in time before the mean reversion occurs, i.e., before prices become rational again.
Momentum strategies have been known to be alpha-generative over a long period and across market stages. So, this strategy is quite tricky to implement, as detecting these trends is no child’s play. Here, we have created a strategy to help investors get in on these fast movers and rake in handsome gains. Our screen will help you benefit from both long-term price momentum and a short-term pullback in price.

Screening Parameters for Momentum Anomaly Stocks
Percentage Change in Price (52 Weeks) = Top #50: This selects the top 50 stocks with the best percentage price change over the last 52 weeks. This parameter ensures we get the best stocks that have appreciated steadily over the past year.
Percentage Change in Price (1 Week) = Bottom #10: From the above 50 stocks, we then choose those that are also among the 10 worst performers over a short one-week period. This parameter picks the ones that have witnessed a short-term pullback in price.
Zacks Rank #1: Stocks sporting a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) have a proven history of outperformance irrespective of the market conditions. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.
Momentum Style Score of B or Better: A top Momentum Style Score knocks out a lot of the screening process as it takes into account several factors that include volume change and performance relative to its peers. It indicates when the timing is best to grab a stock and take advantage of its momentum with the highest probability of success. Stocks with a Momentum Score of A or B, when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 or 2 (Buy), handily outperform other stocks.
Current Price greater than $5: The stocks must all be trading at a minimum of $5.
Market Capitalization = Top #3000: We have chosen stocks that are among the top 3000 in terms of market value to ensure the stability of price.
