As Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index experiences a significant rally, spurred by China's recent stimulus measures, the market sentiment is shifting positively with renewed interest in small-cap stocks. In this dynamic environment, investors are on the lookout for undiscovered gems that exhibit strong fundamentals and potential growth opportunities amidst these favorable economic conditions.
Top 10 Undiscovered Gems With Strong Fundamentals In Hong Kong

Poly Property Group, a notable player in the Hong Kong market, has seen its earnings grow by an impressive 531% over the past year, outpacing the real estate industry's -11.2%. Despite this growth, their net debt to equity ratio stands at a high 91.1%, which could be concerning for some investors.

Asset management and corporate finance contribute smaller portions, with revenues of HK$0.59 million and HK$2.11 million, respectively. Financial instruments investments resulted in a negative contribution of HK$0.56 million to the overall revenue stream.
With a price-to-earnings ratio of 14.1x, Get Nice Financial Group offers good value compared to the industry average of 18.9x, despite recent significant insider selling. The company has shown resilience with earnings growth of 1.9% over the past year, outpacing the industry's -50% performance.

Carote recently completed an IPO, raising HK$750.62 million by offering shares at HK$5.78 each with a slight discount of HK$0.14 per share. This move might bolster its financial standing, as the company enjoys high-quality earnings and has more cash than total debt, indicating sound financial health. Notably, Carote's earnings surged 92% last year, outpacing the Consumer Durables industry growth of 20%, suggesting robust business momentum despite illiquid shares.
