Hong Kong-listed shares of China’s biggest cemeteries operator and funeral service rose to their highest level in more than a year as the country struggles with a wave of Covid infections.
Fu Shou Yuan International Group stock reached a 2022 high at 7.04 Hong Kong dollars a share as of Friday’s close — having surged about 80% in two months – as the country abruptly ended most of its Covid control measures and saw case numbers surge.
