Hong Kong disclosures: match issuer, period and currency

Start from HKEXnews, choose the legal issuer and the exact annual or interim report, and retain the document identity. This page describes manual source preparation; it does not claim a tested feed or real-time data integration. Checked 2026-10-30.

Source record

Field	What to keep	Why it matters
Issuer	Legal name and stock code	Names and codes are not interchangeable
Document	Full title and language	Results announcements can differ from reports
Reporting window	Start/end dates	Interim is not automatically a calendar half-year
Currency and scale	Statement header	Trading currency is not reporting currency
Publication	Release date/time and local retrieval date	Period end is not the availability date
Version	Correction/revision and source URL	Preserve what was actually reviewed

Read both the table header and relevant notes. Do not assume all listed issuers report in HKD or all six-month periods end in June. Compare consolidated results with consolidated results.

Worked preparation

For fictional DEMO-HK, record January–June revenue of 880 HKD million and operating profit of 79.2, versus 800 and 96. Derived operating margin is 9% versus 12%; revenue growth is 10%. A separate field marks customer retention as not supplied. Do not infer retention from a revenue increase, and do not compare the six-month revenue with last year’s full-year amount.

Give S02 the old dated thesis, this evidence record and a review cutoff. Ask for support, challenge and unknown for each condition. Keep original-language locations even when the AI summarizes in another language; translating a unit is not converting it.

Rights and cost boundary

Public disclosure access and market-data licensing are separate. Consult the HKEX licensing overview for the latter and the relevant site/document terms for each intended use. A readable PDF is not blanket permission for scraping, redistribution, training or a commercial data service. We link to originals and use our own synthetic examples.

No CoTrading key or new paid-data subscription is needed for this manual preparation. Optional providers and model services can charge separately. Credentials remain in provider/host settings.

Failures and limitations

A failed or blocked download remains failed. Save the error, retry through an allowed method, or request a permitted local copy. Missing currency, unclear scope or unreadable text stops calculation. A title-search hit is not proof that all required source material is present. The next review is a saved task, not continuous background monitoring.

Continue with the interim thesis case and report-basis checklist.
