A milestone this quarter: the Q2 2026 results are the first produced end-to-end by our purpose-built AI system, with our team supervising rather than transcribing. It reads every Hong Kong Notifiable Transaction circular published in the quarter, identifies those carrying a full business or equity valuation report, and extracts the marketability discount (DLOM) and control premium each valuer actually adopted.
Save the date — 17 August 2026. This quarter’s AI-read figures are only half the story. On 17 August, we will present “Teaching AI to Read Valuations — and Gatekeeping Valuation Quality in Hong Kong” unveiling the first-ever ten-year longitudinal study of marketability discounts and control premiums in the Hong Kong market, spanning 2016 to 2026. Drawing on a full decade of Notifiable Transaction valuation reports — more than 470 adopted figures across nearly 300 circulars and close to 200 valuer firms — the session traces how these adjustments have really moved over ten years, surfaces the outliers, and asks what it all means for the profession that gatekeeps valuation quality. Nothing on this scale or time-span has been attempted before in Hong Kong. Stay tuned — full details to follow.
