Hong Kong Exchanges Standardizes Trading Lot Sizes to 8 Types, Lowers Minimum Value to HK$1,000 on July 2

According to Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing (HKEX) official announcement, the exchange will standardize trading lot sizes to 8 designated types and lower the minimum lot value from HK$2,000 to HK$1,000, effective July 2, 2026. The framework also introduces a HK$50,000 upper limit for securities with lot sizes exceeding 100 shares. The 8 standardized lot sizes are 1, 50, 100, 500, 1,000, 2,000, 5,000 and 10,000 shares. New IPO applicants submitting applications from July 2 onwards must comply with all new requirements, while existing listed companies must adhere to the new minimum and maximum lot value limits. A second implementation phase begins November 16, 2026, requiring all issuers to adopt one of the 8 standardized lot sizes within 6 months of transitioning to HKEX's forthcoming paperless market system.
