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.

Maximus, Inc. MMS benefits from its strong relationship with governments, allowing the company to generate recurring revenues from long-term contracts. MMS’ strong cash flow and ability to borrow a hefty credit to meet working capital requirements provide a competitive edge. However, it is witnessing declining net income due to rising operating expenses and non-recurring costs.
MMS reported impressive third-quarter fiscal 2024 results. Quarterly adjusted earnings of $1.7 per share beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 18.4% and increased more than 100% on a year-over-year basis. Revenues of $1.3 billion beat the consensus mark by 3% and rose 10.6% from the year-ago quarter's level.
How is Maximus Faring?
Maximus, with its experience of more than 40 years, has become the leading operator of government health and human services programs across the globe. Its expertise in business process management and capabilities to deliver cost-effective, efficient and high-scale solutions make it a profitable partner for governments. Maximus generates recurring revenues from the long-term contracts provided by the governments. The company seeks long-term relationships with clients in existing and adjacent markets.
MMS is also focused on expanding its ground in clinical services and long-term services and supports. Furthermore, rising longevity and complex healthcare needs have heightened governments’ need for social benefits and safety-net programs. We expect this to continue driving demand for the company’s services.
Maximus has a strong cash flow from operations attributed to its profitable business and effective receivables management. In working capital urgencies, the company can borrow $600 million through a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase N.A. MMS' expertise in government programs and ability to deliver defined, measurable outcomes provide it with a competitive edge over its peers.
Maximus, Inc. Revenue (TTM)
Maximus, Inc. revenue-ttm | Maximus, Inc. Quote
Its current ratio (a measure of liquidity) at the end of third-quarter fiscal 2024 was 1.59, higher than the year-ago quarter’s 1.46. A current ratio of more than 1 suggests that the company should not have issues meeting its short-term obligations.
MMS paid cash dividends of $68 million in fiscal 2023, $68.7 million in fiscal 2022 and $68.8 million in fiscal 2021. Consistency in dividend payments makes this company a favorable investment choice for dividend-seeking investors.
Although Maximus is reaping the benefits of the above-discussed positives, it has been dealing with the declining income in the past few years. The decline can be attributed to headwinds like paused Medicaid redetermination activity, rising operating expenses and non-recurring costs, and PACT-related investments. Net income decreased 20.6% year over year in 2023 and 30% in 2022.
MMS' Zacks Rank & Stocks to Consider

Some better-ranked stocks in the broader Zacks Business Services sector are AppLovin APP and Charles River Associates CRAI.
AppLovin sports a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) at present. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.

Stocks on Tuesday relinquished early gains and closed little changed. Long liquidation pressures emerged in stocks Tuesday afternoon after bond yields rose ahead of the results of the 2-day FOMC meeting are released on Wednesday.
Stocks on Tuesday rallied early in the session, with the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrials posting new record highs and the Nasdaq 100 rising to a 2-1/2 week high. Tuesday's positive corporate and economic news boosted optimism in the US economic outlook and supported stocks.
Intel rose more than +2% after the chipmaker won new business from Amazon.com. Also, Microsoft closed up nearly +1% after it raised its quarterly dividend by 10% and announced a new $60 billion stock repurchase program. Stocks also found support from Tuesday’s stronger-than-expected US economic reports on retail sales and manufacturing production that bolstered the outlook for a soft landing.
Aug retail sales unexpectedly rose +0.1% m/m, stronger than expectations of a -0.2% m/m decline. However, Aug retail sales ex-autos rose only +0.1% m/m, slightly weaker than expectations of +0.2% m/m.
US Aug manufacturing production rose +0.9% m/m, stronger than expectations of +0.2% m/m and the largest increase in 6 months.
The US Sep NAHB housing market index rose +2 to 41, right on expectations.
The markets will look to the 2-day FOMC meeting that concludes Wednesday afternoon to see whether policymakers will decide that a -25 bp cut in the fed funds target range would be adequate for a US economy that has shown signs of losing momentum or whether they will decide on a larger -50 bp rate cut instead. Post-meeting comments from Fed Chair Powell on Wednesday will also be scrutinized regarding the Fed’s future policy intentions.

Also, an increase in inflation expectations weighed on T-notes after the 10-year breakeven inflation rate rose to a 2-week high Tuesday of 2.118%. In addition, weak demand for the Treasury’s $13 billion 20-year T-bond auction undercut T-notes as the auction had a bid-to-cover ratio of 2.51, well below the 10-auction average of 2.61.

Accenture PLC Price
Accenture PLC price | Accenture PLC Quote
Let’s look at the factors in detail that make the stock an attractive pick.
Technology-Based Growth Strategy
Accenture's broader growth strategy focuses on delivering comprehensive value to its stakeholders through technology. By focusing on building a digital core with cloud, data, and AI technologies and investing in talent, Accenture is well-positioned for long-term success. We believe this strategy positions Accenture as a trusted partner for its clients and keeps the stock attractive.
Strong Cash Position
Accenture had a cash and cash equivalents balance of $5.5 billion at the end of third-quarter fiscal 2024 against a total long-term debt of just $69 million. Cash provided by operating activities was $1 billion and free cash flow came in at $1 million. Accenture generates significant cash from operations and also holds a huge cash balance, management has the flexibility to pursue growth in any areas that exhibit true potential.
This flexibility and technological prowess allowed it to pursue acquisition opportunities in different markets. The company spent $2.5 billion across 25 acquisitions in fiscal 2023. A disciplined acquisition strategy helps ACN channel its business in high-growth areas, adding skills and capabilities, and deepening industry and functional expertise.
Dividend Spinner
Commitment to shareholder returns makes ACN a reliable way for investors to compound wealth over the long term. The company paid $2.8 billion, $2.5 billion and $2.2 billion in dividends in 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. We are expecting steady income growth, which will translate to steady cash flow, enabling it to pay out stable dividends.
