Fu Shek Financial (HKG:2263) expects a net profit of HK$6.2 million for the six months ended Sept. 30, up from HK$1.5 million a year prior, a Nov. 21 Hong Kong bourse filing said.

Shares of the financial services provider were up over 4% in Monday afternoon trading.

The firm attributed the forecast to a rise in commission and brokerage income on securities dealing, a higher handling and other fee income, and an increase in interest income from margin financing services.
