On the news front, CICC's application to absorb-merge Dongxing Securities and Cinda Securities via share swap was officially accepted by the Shanghai Stock Exchange on June 12, entering the regulatory review stage. This positive development had already driven the stock up 4.69% on June 15, with the market fully pricing in the catalyst. Following the completion of the merger, CICC's total assets are expected to surpass the one-trillion-yuan threshold, with revenue increasing from RMB 28.5 billion to RMB 37.2 billion, elevating its industry ranking to third place.

With the positive news fully digested, profit-taking pressure has become evident. Meanwhile, the broader brokerage sector weakened significantly, with CITIC Securities falling 3.82%, Guotai Haitong declining 2.80%, and HTSC dropping 1.22%, creating additional sector-wide headwinds that further weighed on CICC's performance.
