On July 24, GF SEC fell 3.06% in regular trading, trading at 17.09 HKD/share, with turnover of approximately 26.10 million HKD.
On the news front, the broker sector saw broad-based weakness as profit-taking emerged following the previous session's collective rally. CITIC Securities declined 3.22%, GF Haitong fell 1.77%, and CICC dropped 2.13%, reflecting widespread sector pressure. Additionally, the Shanghai Stock Exchange recently issued a written warning to GF SEC, citing the company's failure to effectively fulfill client transaction management responsibilities. Multiple clients engaged in frequent abnormal trading activities from December last year through June, and the exchange has required the firm to submit a rectification report within one month. The regulatory action weighed on short-term market sentiment.
Meanwhile, the company had previously disclosed a strong first-half earnings forecast projecting net profit attributable to shareholders of 11 billion to 12 billion yuan, representing 70% to 85% year-over-year growth, and announced an expansion of its margin financing business cap to 2.5 times net capital. Despite these positive fundamentals, near-term regulatory overhang and sector-wide profit-taking dominated price action.
