In the afternoon of April 19, 2021, a DBM distinguished lecture, "Does Express Delivery Run ahead of Stock Price?" was held at T2-102, given by Prof. Bohui Zhang.

Prof. Bohui Zhang is Presidential Chair Professor of Finance and Executive and Associate Dean of School of Management and Economics at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen. He studies the role of information intermediaries on capital markets, Chinese and foreign capital markets, and Fintech. His papers have been published in the global top journals. He is also the Vice President of Asian Finance Association.

Prof. Zhang introduced the relationship between express delivery and stock price. Research findings show that parcel growth of a listed company, especially its document-related parcel growth, positively predicts firm growth, profitability, and earnings, and hence assist institutional investors and insiders in decision making.
