On September 2, CICC fell 3.47% in regular trading, trading at HK$21.66/share, with turnover of HK$29.90 million. The decline came as the broader Chinese brokerage sector retreated following a sharp rally on August 26, when CICC had surged over 7% in a single session, prompting short-term profit-taking.
Institutional fund flows added to selling pressure. Efund Management recently sold approximately 2.95 million shares of CICC at an average price of HK$22.21 per share, reducing its long position from 6.07% to 5.91%. BlackRock also trimmed its H-share stake to 4.59%. Partially offsetting the outflows, JPMorgan purchased approximately 3.93 million shares at an average price of HK$22.09, lifting its long position from 5.92% to 6.13%.
Within the Investment Banking and Brokerage sector, peers declined broadly: CITIC SEC fell 1.98%, CGS dropped 2.42%, GTHT lost 1.71%, DFZQ slid 1.70%, and CSC declined 2.28%. The sector-wide weakness followed a period of strong gains driven by CICC's merger approval and record first-half earnings, with net profit surging 89.35% year-over-year to RMB 8.199 billion.
