On July 14, Guotai Haitong fell 3.06% in regular trading, trading at HK$14.25/share, with turnover of HK$54.40 million, extending last week's 5.52% decline.

On the news front, the company's inaugural president Li Junjie resigned on July 5 due to a job transfer to serve as Director of Shanghai's Local Financial Management Bureau. Chairman Zhu Jian is temporarily fulfilling presidential duties, with no clear timeline announced for selecting a new president. Li Junjie was the key architect who led the merger and reorganization of Guotai Junan and Haitong Securities. His departure coincides with the company's first-half net profit attributable to shareholders expected to exceed RMB 20 billion, a record high. The market is concerned about strategic continuity during the leadership transition period. Market observers note that internal promotion from the company's seven vice presidents is the most likely succession path, though uncertainty remains.
