Listed Securities Firms Expected to See Continued Net Profit Growth in First Three Quarters

Recently, former Dongxing Securities and former Cinda Securities released their Q3 2026 reports, showing divergent operating performance for the two firms. Considering that A-share trading volume and overall market performance weakened in Q3 compared to Q2, industry insiders believe that listed securities firms' net profit for the first three quarters is expected to continue growing despite pressure in Q3. Regarding investment in the securities sector, insiders noted that under conditions of valuation and ROE (return on equity) mismatch, the high cost-performance ratio of the securities sector stands out; improvements in securities leverage and dividend mechanisms are also expected to continuously enhance shareholder return levels. In terms of specific varieties, continued optimism is expressed for excess return opportunities with leading securities firms. (China Securities Journal)
