Can't believe that this Citi analyst downgraded Futu despite the solid 3Q results and special dividend of $2! It was quite a good dividend indeed. In fact Futu 52wks high was abt $130. It is now only about $88 which is like 30%+ lower. It seems unreasonable assessment indeed by Citi. Didn't see such kind of rating previously for other counters.
