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.

Investors with an interest in Textile - Apparel stocks have likely encountered both Ralph Lauren (RL) and Lululemon (LULU). But which of these two stocks presents investors with the better value opportunity right now? Let's take a closer look.
The best way to find great value stocks is to pair a strong Zacks Rank with an impressive grade in the Value category of our Style Scores system. The Zacks Rank is a proven strategy that targets companies with positive earnings estimate revision trends, while our Style Scores work to grade companies based on specific traits.
Ralph Lauren and Lululemon are sporting Zacks Ranks of #2 (Buy) and #3 (Hold), respectively, right now. Investors should feel comfortable knowing that RL likely has seen a stronger improvement to its earnings outlook than LULU has recently. But this is just one piece of the puzzle for value investors.
Value investors also tend to look at a number of traditional, tried-and-true figures to help them find stocks that they believe are undervalued at their current share price levels.
Our Value category grades stocks based on a number of key metrics, including the tried-and-true P/E ratio, the P/S ratio, earnings yield, and cash flow per share, as well as a variety of other fundamentals that value investors frequently use.
RL currently has a forward P/E ratio of 17.68, while LULU has a forward P/E of 22.48. We also note that RL has a PEG ratio of 1.59. This popular metric is similar to the widely-known P/E ratio, with the difference being that the PEG ratio also takes into account the company's expected earnings growth rate. LULU currently has a PEG ratio of 2.29.
Another notable valuation metric for RL is its P/B ratio of 5.27. The P/B ratio pits a stock's market value against its book value, which is defined as total assets minus total liabilities. For comparison, LULU has a P/B of 9.60.
These are just a few of the metrics contributing to RL's Value grade of B and LULU's Value grade of D.
RL stands above LULU thanks to its solid earnings outlook, and based on these valuation figures, we also feel that RL is the superior value option right now.
Zacks Investment Research
As DICK’S Sporting Goods Inc. DKS prepares to announce its third-quarter fiscal 2024 earnings on Nov. 26, investors are closely watching for insights into the company's performance this season.
DKS is expected to register sales and earnings decline year over year in the quarter under review. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal third-quarter revenues is pegged at $3 billion, indicating a drop of 0.8% from the year-ago quarter’s reported figure.
The consensus estimate for fiscal third-quarter earnings is pegged at $2.69, which suggests a decrease of 5.6% from the year-ago reported number. The consensus mark has moved up a penny in the past seven days.
Stay up-to-date with all quarterly releases: See Zacks Earnings Calendar.
In the last reported quarter, the company delivered an earnings surprise of 15.9%. It has a trailing four-quarter earnings surprise of 15%, on average.
Factors to Note About DKS’ Upcoming Release
DICK’S Sporting’s quarterly performance is likely to have been hurt by an uncertain macroeconomic landscape. In addition, higher wage rates, along with increased investments in talent and technology to offer a better athlete experience, as well as investments in marketing, have been leading to elevated costs.
Management, on its last earnings call, had envisioned pre-opening expenses for the second half of fiscal 2024 to be moderately higher than the first half, led by the timing and mix of its store openings. Much of these expenses are likely to have been incurred in the fiscal third quarter. It had anticipated modest deleveraged adjusted selling, general and administrative expenses year over year. Such expenses might have weighed on the company’s profitability in the quarter under review. We expect pre-opening costs to increase 27.4% during the third quarter of fiscal 2024.
On the flip side, DICK’S Sporting’s robust strategies, including merchandising initiatives and store-related efforts, appear encouraging. Healthy transaction growth and higher average tickets have been contributing to DKS’ comparable-store sales (comps) performance for a while. We expect comps to rise 1% for the fiscal third quarter. These factors with strong demand for its key product categories, driven by differentiated assortments across footwear, athletic apparel and team sports, might have provided some cushion to the company’s performance during the quarter under review.
What the Zacks Model Unveils for DKS
Our proven model predicts a likely earnings beat for DICK'S Sporting this time around. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the chances of an earnings beat.
DICK'S Sporting has an Earnings ESP of +1.23% and carries a Zacks Rank #2 at present. You can uncover the best stocks before they’re reported with our Earnings ESP Filter.
