Molina Healthcare (NYSE: MOH) was one of the healthier stocks on the exchange on Thursday. Investors were obviously impressed by the specialized insurer 's quarterly results, published just after market close the day before. They collectively piled into the stock, boosting it by 14%.

Mainland‑listed Chinese tech stocks are outperforming their Hong Kong peers, underscoring investors’ enthusiasm for artificial intelligence hardware and earnings visibility. The ChiNext Index , which counts battery giant Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Ltd. as a member, has nearly doubled in the past year, reaching an 11-year high this week. By contrast, Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Tech Index , which includes Tencent Holdings Ltd. , has fallen 4% over the same period. ChiNext’s gains stem from its concentration in hardware makers — such as Nvidia Corp.’s optical transceiver supplier Zhongji Innolight Co. — with AI demand and tech breakthroughs in other areas like lithium batteries make earnings growth easier to forecast. Hang Seng’s tech stocks depend more on China’s consumption recovery and, in sectors like food delivery, face intense competition. “The gap in performance is mostly due to the level of visibility ahead,” said Xiadong Bao , fund manager at Edmond de Rothschild Asset Management. “The clearer order-book from hard-tech in a world looking for resilience and certainty makes them better choices for investors who have little patience to wait for the consumption recovery” in China. Some Hang Seng Tech heavyweights, including Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. and Baidu Inc. , are making progress in AI. Yet with broad diversification into e‑commerce and advertising, they remain exposed to fierce price wars and margin pressures that have also weighed on electric-vehicle makers and other sectors in the index. Consensus forward earnings‑per‑share estimates for the Hang Seng Tech Index have fallen about 26% from their July peak, Bloomberg-compiled data show. For ChiNext, the picture is very different. Stronger links to AI and the global energy transition have boosted demand for Chinese exports, driving the index’s consensus forward earnings estimates up 42% from a June low to a record high, Bloomberg-compiled data show. Shares of CATL, as the world’s biggest battery manufac...
