Bright Smart Securities experienced a significant intraday decline of 5.66% on Thursday, as the stock traded sharply lower during the trading session.
The sharp drop came amid intensified regulatory pressure on cross-border securities activities. The Hong Kong Monetary Authority has issued three additional regulatory measures targeting mainland investors' investment accounts, including closing accounts opened with suspicious documents, shutting down dormant accounts, and requiring written declarations about fund sources.
These measures follow an eight-department joint crackdown announced earlier that imposed penalties on several other brokers for illegal cross-border operations, creating broader sector concerns about regulatory tightening in the securities industry.
