Market Focus07-28

On July 28, CICC fell 3.17% in regular trading, trading at 21.46 HKD/share, with turnover of approximately 85.92 million HKD. The decline came amid sector-wide weakness in investment banking and brokerage stocks, compounded by company-specific catalysts.

On the news front, CICC announced that its chief economist Peng Wensheng has retired upon reaching mandatory age, with Miao Yanliang, previously Managing Director and Chief Strategist, assuming the role. Meanwhile, the companys three-way merger to absorb Dongxing Securities and Cinda Securities via share swap has passed shareholder approval and been accepted by the Shanghai Stock Exchange and CSRC, but remains in the exchange inquiry stage with approval timing uncertain. Additionally, Morgan Stanley recently reduced its H-share stake to 5.83%, signaling cautious institutional sentiment.

Within the Investment Banking and Brokerage sector, CMSC fell 5.04%, CITIC SEC fell 2.57%, CAM CSI300 fell 3.62%, DFZQ fell 1.94%, and GTHT fell 1.12%, reflecting broad sectoral pressure.
