On September 2, CGS fell 3.1% in regular trading, trading at HK$7.80/share, with turnover of HK$27.69 million, as the broader broker sector came under selling pressure.
The decline came amid a sector-wide pullback in Chinese brokerage stocks and persistent concerns over CGS's slipping industry standing. The company's H1 results revealed that its net profit ranking dropped from fourth to seventh among peers. While overall revenue grew 22.58% year-over-year to RMB 16.85 billion and net profit rose 20.18% to RMB 7.797 billion, structural weaknesses were evident. Investment trading business revenue fell 25.53% to RMB 2.873 billion, making it the only segment to post a decline. Investment banking revenue stood at just RMB 256 million, accounting for less than 2% of total revenue, significantly trailing top-tier peers. By contrast, leading competitors such as CITIC Securities saw investment business revenue surge over 36%.
Within the Investment Banking & Brokerage sector, stocks fell broadly. CICC dropped 4.54%, CITIC SEC fell 2.78%, CSC declined 2.77%, GTHT lost 2.5%, and HTSC slid 1.68%.
