On June 29, CICC rose 3.41% in regular trading, trading at HKD 20.56/share, with turnover of HKD 74.28 million.

On the news front, JP Morgan recently published a research report explicitly favoring brokers over mainland banks, naming CICC as its top pick. Earlier, UBS also designated CICC as its preferred broker sector stock, citing optimistic Q2 earnings prospects. The dual endorsement from major international banks provided a direct catalyst for the stock.

Meanwhile, CICC's application to absorb and merge Dongxing Securities and Cinda Securities via share swap has been formally accepted by the Shanghai Stock Exchange, with regulatory review ongoing. Upon completion, the combined entity's total assets would surpass RMB 1 trillion, ranking third in the industry. This restructuring continues to serve as a medium-term catalyst.

At the sector level, broker stocks broadly strengthened, with CITIC Securities up 2.33%, China Securities up 1.75%, and CMSC up 2.95%, reflecting broad-based capital inflows into the brokerage sector.
